Atoms:
Development of
  the Atomic
    Theory
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”.
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
John Dalton


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

   1897 - English chemist and physicist;
    discovered 1st subatomic particles
                    Plum Pudding Model or
                       Raisin Bun Model
                   Proposed by J.J. Thomson
J.J. Thomson
His Theory:
     Atoms contain negatively charged
      particles called electrons and positively
      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
Ernest Rutherford
   1912 - New Zealand physicist
    discovered the nucleus


                      Nuclear Model
                    Proposed by Ernest
                        Rutherford
Ernest Rutherford



His Theory:
     Small, dense, positively charged particle
      present in nucleus called a proton

     Electrons travel around the nucleus, but
      their exact places cannot be described.
Niels Bohr
   1913 - Danish physicist; discovered
    energy levels



                 Bohr Model or Planetary
                         Model
                  Proposed by Niels Bohr
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.

       decompressor

are needed to see this picture.




        1924 - Austrian physicist; developed
         the electron cloud model
                                  Electron Cloud Model
                                    Proposed by Erwin
                                       Schrodinger
Erwin Shrodinger
      QuickTime™ and a
       decompressor
are needed to see this picture.




  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.
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).
Modern Theory of the
             Atom
   Atoms are composed of three main
    subatomic particles: the electron, proton, and
    neutron.

   Most of the mass of the atom is concentrated
    in the nucleus of the atom.


                        QuickTime™ and a
                          decompressor
                are needed to see this picture.
Modern Theory of the
            Atom
   The protons and neutrons are located within
    the nucleus, while the electrons exist
    outside of the nucleus.

   In stable atoms, the number of protons is
    equal to the number of electrons.


                    QuickTime™ and a
                     decompressor
              are needed to see this picture.
                                                Sodium Atom (Na)
Modern Theory of the
              Atom
   The type of atom is determined by the
    number of protons it has.


   The number of protons in an atom is equal to
    the atomic number.


          QuickTime™ and a                    QuickTime™ and a
           decompressor                         decompressor
    are needed to see this picture.   are needed to see this picture.
Modern Theory of the
               Atom
   The sum of the number of protons and neutrons
    in a particular atom is called the atomic mass.

   Valence electrons are the outermost electrons.




           QuickTime™ and a                    QuickTime™ and a
            decompressor                         decompressor
