  1. Atomic Theory 1

  2. What Happens in Vegas stays in Vegas

  3. Atomic Theory Theories in science are proposed to explain the evidenceavailable at the time. As new evidenceis discovered theories are adapted to explain new data. This is the nature of Science. In the future this will continue.

  4. Plato Democritus 460-370 BC Atoms make up the world

  5. Plato Teacher of Aristotle Aristotle 384-322 BC Four Elements

  6. Forces The Four Element Theory Properties Aristotle wetness harmony conflict Water Wind coldness hotness Earth Fire dryness

  7. The Four Element Theory lasted for about 2 thousand yearsbecause no one tested the theory with scientific experiments. It was not a scientific theory- which is tested by experiment.

  8. John Dalton 1766-1844 Atomic Theory

  9. Dalton’s Atomic Theory-1808 Evidence 1. The Law of Conservation of Mass 2.The Law of Constant Composition- water is 11 % H and 89 % O Theory 1. Each atom is an indestructibleand unique spherical particle 2. Atoms combine in simple whole number ratios to form compounds

  10. Hydrogen Oxygen Lithium

  11. Dalton Theory- Water 1 g H 1 g H 16 g O 18g O

  12. Dalton Theory- Water 16 g O 1 g H 1 g H 18g O

  13. Dalton Theory- Water 16 g O 1 g H 1 g H 2 g H x 100% = 11% H 89 % O 18 g H2O

  14. Having a molecule (atoms combine in simple whole # ratios) explains the law of constant composition. Still 11 % H 89 % O No matter how much water you have its still 11% H

  15. 2H2 + O2 2H2O If the atoms are not destroyed then the mass does not change

  16. J. J. Thomson 1871-1937

  17. The Thomson Theory of the Atom Evidence 1. The electrical nature of matter beta particles static electricity current electricity Theory 1. The atom is made up of positive material with negative particles throughout- like blueberries in a blueberry muffin.

  18. The Thomson Atom 1903 + + - + - + + - + - + - + - + - + + - + + - + - + - + - + + - + -

  19. Ernest Rutherford 1871-1937

  20. The Rutherford Atom 1911 Simulation Evidence: Gold Foil Experiment 1. 99.99 % of alphas are not deflected 2. 0.01 % of alphas are radically deflected Theory 1. Most of the atom is empty space. 2. There is a small dense nucleus in the center of theatom that makes up mostof the mass. Electronscircle the nucleus randomly.

  21. The Rutherford Atom 1911 Scale:nucleus is home plate; atom is the baseball field Be Nucleus- is small but has most of the mass Nucleus- 4 protons and 5 neutrons - - - Electrons -

  22. Cornelis Escher 1898-1972 Discovery of the Nucleus Size of the Atom
