  1. The Atom Atomic Number and Mass Number Isotopes

  2. Democritus(460 - 370 B.C.) The goal of the Greek philosophers was to explain the natural world. In an effort to organize many of the phenomena they observed, philosophers believed that a single "primary matter" existed. It was of this primary matter, modified in various ways, that all other things were created. Democritus expanded the idea to state that matter was composed of small particles called "atoms" that could be divided no further.

  3. John Dalton(1766 - 1844) During the 19th century, a vast amount of data on how substances react with each other was collected. From this data, some simple laws of chemical reactivity had been devised. Among these were the law of conservation of matter and law of multiple proportions. While others had proposed very similar theories, John Dalton is usually credited with developing the atomic theory.

  4. Dalton's theory can be summarized as follows: 1. Matter is composed of small particles called atoms. 2. All atoms of an element are identical, but are different from those of any other element. 3. During chemical reactions, atoms are neither created nor destroyed, but are simply rearranged. 4. Atoms always combine in whole number multiples of each other. For example, 1:1, 1:2, 2:3 or 1:3.

  5. J.J. Thomson(1856 - 1940 At approximately the same time as radioactivity was being investigated, J.J. Thomson and others were performing experiments with cathode ray tubes. A cathode ray tube is an evacuated tube that contains a small amount of gas between two metallic plates. When a potential is placed between the cathode (the negatively charged plate) and the anode (the positively charged plate) a "ray" of electric current passes from one plate to the other. Thomson discovered that this ray was actually composed of particles.

  6. JJ Thomson Plum-Pudding Model Cathode Ray Tube

  7. When a second set of plates is placed around the tube, the ray is bent toward the positive plate indicating that the ray is composed of negatively charged particles. By varying the potential on the plates, Thomson was able to determine the mass to charge ratio of these particles.

  8. He concluded that the negatively charged particles were subatomic particles that were part of every atom. He further surmised that, since atoms were electrically neutral, the atom must also contain some positive charge. Based on these conclusions Thomson proposed that an atom was composed of a spherical ball of positive charge with negative charge imbedded in it. The negative charge particles would later become known as electrons. This was later known as “The Plum Pudding Model”

  9. In 1909, Rutherford set a fellow scientist, Hans Geiger, and a student, Ernest Marsden, to work on this problem. They devised a system that allowed alpha particles (the nuclei of helium atoms) to be shot at a very thin piece of gold foil and the trajectory of the particles monitored. They observed that while most of the particles passed through the foil with little or no deflection, some were deflected to a great degree.

  10. Rutherford

  11. Since the gold film was so thin, Rutherford proposed that all of the deflections observed were from single encounters of alpha particles with the atom. In order to deflect the relatively large and swiftly moving alpha particles to such a large extent, a large force was required. This force, he contended, could only be caused by a large concentration of positive charge within the atom. This large concentration of charge was located at the center of the atom and became known as the nucleus.

  12. Bohr

  13. Bohr expanded upon this theory by proposing that electrons travel only in certain successively larger orbits. He suggested that the outer orbits could hold more electrons than the inner ones, and that these outer orbits determine the atom's chemical properties.

  29. Models of the Atom Dalton’s model (1803) Thomson’s plum-pudding model (1897) Rutherford’s model (1909) Bohr’s model (1913) Charge-cloud model (present) 1897 J.J. Thomson, a British scientist, discovers the electron, leading to his "plum-pudding" model. He pictures electrons embedded in a sphere of positive electric charge. 1911 New Zealander Ernest Rutherford states that an atom has a dense, positively charged nucleus. Electrons move randomly in the space around the nucleus. 1926 Erwin Schrödinger develops mathematical equations to describe the motion of electrons in atoms. His work leads to the electron cloud model. 1803 John Dalton pictures atoms as tiny, indestructible particles, with no internal structure. 1913 In Niels Bohr's model, the electrons move in spherical orbits at fixed distances from the nucleus. 1800 1805 ..................... 1895 1900 1905 1910 1915 1920 1925 1930 1935 1940 1945 1932 James Chadwick, a British physicist, confirms the existence of neutrons, which have no charge. Atomic nuclei contain neutrons and positively charged protons. 1924 Frenchman Louis de Broglie proposes that moving particles like electrons have some properties of waves. Within a few years evidence is collected to support his idea. 1904 Hantaro Nagaoka, a Japanese physicist, suggests that an atom has a central nucleus. Electrons move in orbits like the rings around Saturn. Greek model (400 B.C.) Dorin, Demmin, Gabel, Chemistry The Study of Matter , 3rd Edition, 1990, page 125
