5th Century BCE - Democritus
• Atoms are small hard particles.
• Made of a single material that’s formed into different shapes and sizes.
• They are always moving• They form different
materials by joining together.

Early 1800s – John Dalton• All substances are made
up of atoms which are small particles that cannot be created, divided, or destroyed.
• Atoms of the same element are exactly alike and atoms of different elements are different.
• Atoms join with other atoms to form different substances

1897 – J.J. Thomson
• Atoms are made of smaller negatively-charged particles called electrons.
• Thomson’s discovery was the result of doing experiments with “cathode ray tubes”

Thomson’s Plum Pudding Model
• Thomson did not know how the electrons were arranged and believed they were mixed throughout an atom.
• Proposed that the atom was a sphere of positively charged material and the negatively charged electrons were spread throughout the atom.
Electron
Positively charge sphere

Ernest Rutherford
• Awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his discovery of alpha particles, positively charged particles emitted from radioactive elements
• Devised the gold foil experiment to investigate the structure of positive and negative charges in the atom.

Rutherford’s Atomic Theory
• Most of the matter of the atom is found in a very small part of the atom. This is called the nucleus. It is very tiny and extremely dense.
• Like charges repel so the nucleus must have a positive charge. If electrons have a negative charge they could not be in a positively charged nucleus. Electrons must surround the nucleus at a distance.
• Atoms are mostly empty space with a tiny, massive nucleus at the center .

Niels Bohr
• Bohr proposed that electrons move in paths at certain distances around the nucleus.
• Electrons can jump from a path on one level to a path on another level.

Modern Atomic Model
• Electrons travel in a region called the electron cloud.
• Cannot predict exactly where an electron will be found
• The energy that an electron has is based on its location around the nucleus. (Electrons closer to the nucleus have less energy than those farther away from the nucleus)
