  1. ATOMIC THEORY REVIEW

  2. Democritus460-370 BCE • Greek word atomos • means indivisible • all matter composed of tiny, solid particles • properties of atoms determine properties of matter

  3. Aristotle384-322 BCE • matter composed of: • 4 primary elements • air • water • earth • fire • 4 secondary elements • wet • cold • dry • hot

  4. Aristotle384-322 BCE • argued against Democritus’ view of atoms • did not believe in concept of atoms • matter can be infinitely divided

  5. hydrogen gold Dalton1803 • Atomic Theory • All matter is composed of atoms. • All atoms of a given element are alike. • All atoms of different elements are different. • Atoms cannot be divided or destroyed. • Atoms combine in certain ratios to form compounds.

  6. Thomson1897 • discovered negatively charged particle later called electron • Plum Pudding Model • negatively charged particles (plums) IN • positively charged mass (pudding)

  7. Important people: Henri Becquerel First discovered radioactivity 1896 Marie Curie Isolated radioactive elements 1890’s Radioactivity

  8. Radioactivity • Act of emitting radiation spontaneously • Caused when unstable atoms undergo changes within their nuclei

  9. Three types of radioactivity • Alpha decay • Positive particle • Used by Rutherford • Cannot penetrate human skin • Beta decay • Negative particle • Mildly penetrating • Gamma decay • Neutrally charged ray • Highly penetrating

  10. Rutherford1911/1919 • discovered nucleus • 1911 • discovered proton • 1919 • positive charge • atom is mostly empty space with positive nucleus in center and electrons located around edge of atom

  11. RutherfordGold Foil Experiment

  13. Bohr1913 • Solar System Model • electrons travel around nucleus in fixed path (orbit) • orbit based on energy level of electron • electrons move between orbits by gaining or losing energy

  14. Chadwick1932 • discovered the neutron • neutral charge • identical mass as proton

  15. Modern Model:Electron-Cloud • …the image of an electron moving so fast it appears to fill a region of space…

  16. Modern Model:Electron-Cloud • Louis de Broglie (1921) • suggested that waves could behave as particles and particles could behave as waves • Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle (1925) • cannot determine exact location of electrons • Shrödinger’s Equations (1926) • combined ideas into mathematical equations for determining location of electrons

  17. Modern Model:Electron-Cloud • Orbital is an electron density cloud • Densest area is where there is the greatest probability (90%) of finding an electron

  18. Each orbital has a different shape and maximum number: S: spherical-shaped P: dumb-bell shaped D: four-lobe-shaped F: six-lobe-shaped 2 electrons share the same orbital spinning in opposite directions Modern Model:Electron-Cloud Link to visual
