How long have people been interested in understanding matter and its structure? • Thousands of years • Hundreds of years • A few years • Never
Democritus 460 BC Derived at idea of “Atomos” (smallest particles). Observations and inferences
Aristotle Same time period. Earth, Water, Air, and Fire. Denounced the idea of “Atomos” Observations and inferences
Alchemists Middle ages. Worked on turning ordinary materials into gold. Derived modern chemistry.
John Dalton 1800 in England Proposed the idea of atoms Built on three theories: Law of definite composition Law of conservation of mass Law of multiple proportions
All matter is made of indivisible & indestructible atoms. • Atoms of a given element are identical in their physical and chemical properties. • Atoms of different elements are different. • Atoms of different elements combine in whole number ratios to form compounds. • Atoms follow the conservation of matter theory. Dalton's Atomic Theory.
His model was the small sphere.

Ernest Rutherford 1911 Gold Foil experiment Internet
Rutherford's Model Electrons traveled around the nucleus like solar system. In 1919 he identified the proton.
NielsBohr 1912 Electrons orbits NRG levels Ground State Excited State Spectrums
James Chadwick 1932 Neutron Isotopes
Electron Cloud Model Electrons in random orbits. Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle. Electrons travel so fast, they appear to form a “cloud” around the nucleus.
