1. The document traces the history of ideas about the atom from Democritus' idea of indivisible atoms in 460 BC to Bohr's model of electrons orbiting the nucleus in 1913. 2. In the early 1900s, Rutherford discovered that atoms have a small, dense nucleus through experiments showing some alpha particles rebounding from gold foil. 3. Bohr refined Rutherford's nuclear model by proposing that electrons orbit the nucleus in set energy levels, like planets orbiting the sun. This helped explain atomic structure and properties.
Atomic structure
- 2. HISTORY OF THE ATOMHISTORY OF THE ATOM 460 BC Democritus develops the idea of atoms he pounded up materials in his pestle and mortar until he had reduced them to smaller and smaller particles which he called ATOMAATOMA (greek for indivisible)
- 3. HISTORY OF THE ATOMHISTORY OF THE ATOM 1808 John Dalton suggested that all matter was made up of tiny spheres that were able to bounce around with perfect elasticity and called them ATOMSATOMS
- 4. HISTORY OF THE ATOMHISTORY OF THE ATOM 1898 Joseph John Thompson found that atoms could sometimes eject a far smaller negative particle which he called an ELECTRONELECTRON
- 5. HISTORY OF THE ATOMHISTORY OF THE ATOM Thompson develops the idea that an atom was made up of electrons scattered unevenly within an elastic sphere surrounded by a soup of positive charge to balance the electron's charge 1904 like plums surrounded by pudding. PLUM PUDDING MODEL
- 6. HISTORY OF THE ATOMHISTORY OF THE ATOM 1910 Ernest Rutherford oversaw Geiger and Marsden carrying out his famous experiment. they fired Helium nuclei at a piece of gold foil which was only a few atoms thick. they found that although most of them passed through. About 1 in 10,000 hit
- 7. HISTORY OF THE ATOMHISTORY OF THE ATOM gold foil helium nuclei They found that while most of the helium nuclei passed through the foil, a small number were deflected and, to their surprise, some helium nuclei bounced straight back. helium nuclei
- 8. HISTORY OF THE ATOMHISTORY OF THE ATOM Rutherford’s new evidence allowed him to propose a more detailed model with a central nucleus. He suggested that the positive charge was all in a central nucleus. With this holding the electrons in place by electrical attraction However, this was not the end of the story.
- 9. HISTORY OF THE ATOMHISTORY OF THE ATOM 1913 Niels Bohr studied under Rutherford at the Victoria University in Manchester. Bohr refined Rutherford's idea by adding that the electrons were in orbits. Rather like planets orbiting the sun. With each orbit only able to contain a set number of electrons.

- 14. ATOMIC STRUCTUREATOMIC STRUCTURE Electrons are arranged in Energy Levels or Shells around the nucleus of an atom. • first shell a maximum of 2 electrons • second shell a maximum of 8 electrons • third shell a maximum of 8 electrons
- 15. ATOMIC STRUCTUREATOMIC STRUCTURE There are two ways to represent the atomic structure of an element or compound; 1. Electronic Configuration 2. Dot & Cross Diagrams
- 16. ELECTRONIC CONFIGURATIONELECTRONIC CONFIGURATION With electronic configuration elements are represented numerically by the number of electrons in their shells and number of shells. For example; N Nitrogen 7 14 2 in 1st shell 5 in 2nd shell configuration = 2 , 5 2 + 5 = 7
- 17. ELECTRONIC CONFIGURATIONELECTRONIC CONFIGURATION Write the electronic configuration for the following elements; Ca O Cl Si Na 20 40 11 23 8 17 16 35 14 28 B 11 5 a) b) c) d) e) f) 2,8,8,2 2,8,1 2,8,7 2,8,4 2,3 2,6
- 18. DOT & CROSS DIAGRAMSDOT & CROSS DIAGRAMS With Dot & Cross diagrams elements and compounds are represented by Dots or Crosses to show electrons, and circles to show the shells. For example; Nitrogen N XX X X XX X N 7 14
- 19. DOT & CROSS DIAGRAMSDOT & CROSS DIAGRAMS Draw the Dot & Cross diagrams for the following elements; O Cl 8 17 16 35 a) b) O X X X X X X X X Cl X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X
- 20. SUMMARYSUMMARY 1. The Atomic Number of an atom = number of protons in the nucleus. 2. The Atomic Mass of an atom = number of Protons + Neutrons in the nucleus. 3. The number of Protons = Number of Electrons. 4. Electrons orbit the nucleus in shells. 5. Each shell can only carry a set number of electrons.
