  3. Who are these men? In this lesson, we’ll learn about the men whose quests for knowledge about the fundamental nature of the universe helped define our views.

  4. Democritus • 460 BC - Greek philosopher proposes the existence of the atom • He pounded materials until he made them into smaller and smaller parts • He called them atoma which is Greek for “indivisible”.

  5. Democritus • His Theory: All atoms: • Are small hard particles • Are made of a single material formed into different shapes and sizes • Are always moving, and they form different materials by joining together

  6. John Dalton • 1803 - British chemist; elements combine in specific proportions to form compounds Solid Sphere Model or Bowling Ball Model Proposed by John Dalton

  7. John Dalton • His Theory: • All substances are made of atoms that cannot be created, divided, or destroyed. • Atoms join with other atoms to make new substances. • Atoms of the same element are exactly alike, and • atoms of different elements are different in mass and size.

  8. J.J. Thomson • 1897 - English chemist and physicist; discovered 1st subatomic particles Plum Pudding Model or Raisin Bun Model Proposed by J.J. Thomson

  9. J.J. Thomson • His Theory: • Atoms contain negatively charged particles called electronsandpositively charged matter. • Created a model to describe the atom as a sphere filled with positive matter with negative particles mixed in • Referred to it as the plum pudding model

  10. Ernest Rutherford • 1912 - New Zealand physicist discovered the nucleus Nuclear Model Proposed by Ernest Rutherford

  11. Ernest Rutherford • His Theory: • Small, dense, positively charged particle present in nucleus called a proton • Electronstravel around the nucleus,but their exact places cannot be described. gold foil gold foil helium nuclei helium nuclei

  12. Niels Bohr • 1913 - Danish physicist; discovered energy levels Bohr Model or Planetary Model Proposed by Niels Bohr

  13. Niels Bohr • His Theory: • Electrons travel around the nucleus in definite paths and fixed distances. • Electrons can jump from one level to a path in another level.

  14. Erwin Shrodinger • 1924 - Austrian physicist; developed the electron cloud model Electron Cloud Model Proposed by Erwin Schrodinger

  15. Erwin Shrodinger • His Theory: • The exact path of electrons cannot be predicted. • The region referred to as the electron cloud, is an area where electrons can likely be found.

  16. James Chadwick • 1932 - English physicist; discovered neutrons • His Theory: • Neutrons have no electrical charge. • Neutrons have a mass nearly equal to the mass of a proton. • Unit of measurement for subatomic particles is the atomic mass unit (amu).

  20. Now if you a real ‘G’, as in GENIUS…… What you know about this??? Which element is it?

  21. Modern Theory of the Atom Atomsare composed of three main subatomicparticles: the electron, proton, and neutron. Most of the mass of the atom is concentrated in the nucleus of the atom.
