  1. ATOMIC STRUCTURE Scientists that changed our view of the atom

  2. Democritus • Did not conduct any experiments • All matter is made of atoms • Atoms are indivisible and indestructible

  3. John Dalton • John Dalton was born on September 6, 1766 in Cumbria, England. • He provided us with the first concrete ideas about the atom.

  4. John Dalton – His Experiment

  5. John Dalton Four points to his theory: • All matter is composed of atoms that are indestructible and indivisible • Atoms of one element are all the same; atoms of a different element are different (Au atoms are different from Ag atoms) • Atoms cannot be changed into different atoms by chemical of physical changes (Pb atoms cannot be turned into Au atoms) • All atoms are like Billiard Balls – a solid, sphere • Atoms react in whole numbers

  6. JJ Thomson • Joseph John Thomson was born in Cheetham Hill, a suburb of Manchester on December 18, 1856. • He is given credit for the discovery of the electron.

  7. JJ Thomson – His Experiment Cathode Ray Tube

  8. JJ Thomson – His Experiment

  9. JJ Thomson 3 Points to his theory • * All gases had the same mass: charge ratio • * All atoms contain small, charged particles called electrons • * The atom now looked like “Plum Pudding”

  10. Goldstein • Eugene Goldstein was born in 1850 in Germany.

  11. Goldstein – His Experiment Cathode Ray Tube

  12. Goldstein Major Point to his theory He is given credit for the discovery of a positively charged particle = Proton The atom was still thought to resemble Plum Pudding

  13. Millikan • Robert Andrews Millikan was born on the 22nd of March, 1868, in Morrison, Ill. (U.S.A. )

  14. Millikan – His Experiment Oil Drop Experiment

  15. Millikan 2 Points to his theory • All electrons have the same mass About 1/2000 atomic mass unit • All electrons have the same charge -1.6 x 10 -19 Coulomb The atom was still thought to resemble Plum Pudding

  16. Rutherford • Ernest Rutherford was born August 30, 1871 in Nelson, New Zealand (one of 12 children)

  17. Rutherford – His Experiment

  18. Rutherford 3 Points to his theory • * Most alpha particle went through = Atom is mostly empty space (area of electrons) • * Some alpha particles bounced straight back = atom has a solid mass (nucleus) • * Some alpha particles reflected = nucleus is positively charged New Model = Nuclear Model

  19. Schrödinger • Erwin Schrödinger born August 12 in Vienna, Austria in 1887.

  20. Schrödinger – His Experiment

  21. Schrödinger Major points • Electrons do not follow fixed paths • They move randomly in areas of probability (orbitals) • There are specific energies associated with each orbital New Model = Quantum Mechanical Model

  22. Chadwick • James Chadwick was born in Cheshire, England, on 20th October, 1891.

  23. Chadwick – His Experiment

  24. Chadwick 2 Points to his theory • Discovered the Neutron – Same mass as a proton, but without a charge • Mass could be converted into energy Model was still thought to resemble the Quantum Mechanical Model
