Unit 2:Atomic Theory

and Structure

(c. 400 B.C.) Democritus proposed that “atomos” are indivisible.

Atom: smallest particle of matter that retains its properties.

Early Models of the Atom

(1803) Dalton’s experiments developed a scientific theory of atoms.

Dalton’s Atomic Theory(4 conclusions)

1) All matter is composed of tiny, indivisible atoms.

Dalton’s Atomic Theory

2) In size, mass, & prop’s atoms of the same element are identical,atoms of different element are different

4) Atoms combine in simple whole-number ratios to form compounds.

3) Atoms chemically combine, separate, or rearrange.

(Law of Definite Proportions)(Law of Conservation of Mass)

Dalton’s Atomic Theory

Cathode Ray Tube

(1904) J.J. ThomsonCathode Ray Tube Experiment

cathode rays deflect toward a positive plate

(1904) J.J. ThomsonCathode Ray Tube Experiment

WHY?

negatively charged

Conclusion: atoms contain negatively charged

particles called electrons

Thomson’sPlum Pudding Modelatoms are + charged material with – charged electrons evenly distributed

(1904) J.J. ThomsonCathode Ray Tube Experiment

1908 Nobel Prize for work with radiation (+ alpha particles)

(1911) Ernest RutherfordGold Foil Experiment

(expected)

1/10,000 + alpha particles deflect from the gold foil

(1911) Ernest RutherfordGold Foil Experiment

+

Conclusion: atoms are mostly empty space filled with e–

the + charge and mass are in a tiny central nucleus

nucleus:tiny, massive, core of atoms containing + protons and (neutral) neutrons

(1911) Ernest RutherfordGold Foil Experiment

(1 trillionth of the atom)

the atomic nucleus
