THEORY: Canneverbetrulyproven100%correct. Inevitablychange(andmustsometimesbeabandoned)asmoreinformationbecomesavailable. Consideredsuccessfulwhentheyexplainobservationsand,moreimportantly,predictnewobservations.
AtomicStructure • EARLYATOMICTHEORY: • 400B.C-Democritus(Greekphilosopher) • •Coinedtheterm“atom”(meaningindivisible)todescribethesmallestparticlesofmatter • •Didnotexperiment
2)JOHNDALTON(EARLY1800’S): a)“FatheroftheModernAtomicTheory” b)Dalton’sAtomicTheoryhelpedexplainmeasurableobservationsandsuccessfullypredictnewobservations(whilestimulatingadditionalresearchfromDaltonandotherscientists).
JohnDalton • AssumptionsofDalton’sAtomicTheory(proposedbyDaltonin1803): • Allmatteriscomposedofatoms • Allatomsofthesameelementareidenticalinsize,mass,otherproperties.Atomsofdifferentelementsdifferinsize,mass,andotherproperties.
JohnDalton Atomscannotbesubdivided,created,ordestroyed Atomsofdifferentelementscombineinsimplewhole-numberratiostoformchemicalcompounds. Inchemicalreactions,atomsarecombined,separated,orrearranged.
JohnDalton d)DaltonusedhisAtomicTheorytohelpcorrectlypredictnewobservationsleadingtothe“LawofMultipleProportions”.
JohnDalton • LawofMultipleProportions=Themassesofoneelementthatcombinewithaconstantmassofanotherelementtoformmorethanonecompoundareintheratioofsmallwholenumbers • Carbonmonoxideandcarbondioxidecontainoxygenina1:2ratio. • 12gofcarbonreactswith16gofoxygentoformcarbonmonoxide,CO. • 12gofcarbonwillreactwith32gofoxygentoformcarbondioxide,CO2.
JohnDalton f)Dalton’sAtomicTheoryexplainedmanyobservationsandcorrectlypredictedmanyadditionalobservations.ItDIDNOTcorrectlypredictallnewobservations(notheoryeverdoes).

JohnDalton: g)Aswithalltheories,AtomicTheoryhasbeenchangedandexpandedovertime(andwillcontinuetochangeandexpand)toexplainnewobservations.

3)CATHODE-RAYTUBEEXPERIMENTS(late1800’s): • J.J.Thomson–discoveredthe • electron • Usedearlycathode-raytubeexperimentsandsomeofhisownfindingstosupportthehypothesisthatelectronsarenegativelychargedparticles
J.J.THOMSON: • Usedacathoderaytube-asvoltageacrossthetubewasincreased,abeamoflight(cathoderay)becamevisible • Cathoderay=beamofelectronsseenb/cofexcitedgas
J.J.THOMSON: • Foundthatthebeamwasdeflectedbybothmagneticandelectricalfields • OBSERVATION: • Noticedthatthe“cathoderays”wereattractedtothepositiveelectrode,calledtheanode.
WhatconclusionsdidThompsonhave? • Thecathoderaysweremadeupaverysmall • negativelychargedparticle–ELECTRONS
J.J.THOMSON: • OBSERVATION:Measuredthebendingofthepathofthecathoderaysandwasabletodeterminingtheratioofanelectron’schargetoitsmass.Foundthattheratiowasalwaysthesame,regardlessofthemetalused

ERNESTRUTHERFORD b)Gold-FoilExperiment(around1908-1909):Thingoldfoilwasbombardedbyalphaparticlesandthepathofthealphaparticleswaschartedaftertheypassedthroughthegoldfoil.
ERNESTRUTHERFORD c)Expectedresults:Themassivealphaparticles(positivelycharged)wereexpectedto“crash”throughthegoldfoilwithlittleornodeflections;therewasnothinginThomson’smodeloftheatomtocauseanythingmorethanminordeflectionsofthealphaparticles.
ERNESTRUTHERFORD • OBSERVATION:Somealphaparticlesweredeflectedatlargeangles,andsomewereredirectedbackward(surprisingresults!) • WhatconclusiondidRutherforddrawfromthisevidence? • ThePOSITIVEparticlesoftheatommustNOTbespreadoutevenly,butinsteadmustbeconcentratedatthecenteroftheatom-the(nucleus).
ERNESTRUTHERFORD • OBSERVATION:Mostofthealphaparticlespassedthroughthegoldfoilwithfewdeflections. • WhatconclusiondidRutherforddrawfromthisevidence? • Mostofthealphaparticlesdidnothitanythingandpassedstraightthroughthegoldatomssotherefore,mostofthevolumeofanatomconsistsofemptyspace.
ERNESTRUTHERFORD • f)Rutherford’sNuclearModel • Explainedtheneutralnatureofmatter:thepositivechargeofthenucleusbalancesthenegativechargeoftheelectrons.
ERNSTRUTHERFORD • Suggestedthattheelectronstravelaround • thepositivelychargednucleus. • Theearlynuclearmodeldidnotaccountforalltheatom’smass • By1920,Rutherfordrefinedtheconceptofthenucleusandconcludedthatthenucleuscontainedpositivelychargedparticlescalledprotons.
