Democritus (460 BC – 370 BC)
• Proposed an Atomic Theory which states – that all atoms are small, hard,
particles – made of a single material formed
into different shapes and sizes. – Atoms are “Uncuttable”
• Aristotle did not support his atomic theory

Antoine Lavoisier (1743 – 1794)
Known as the “Father of Modern Chemistry”
Was the first person to generate a list of thirty-three elements in his textbook
Devised the metric system Discovered/proposed that combustion
occurs when oxygen combines with other elements
Discovered/proposed the Law of Conservation of Mass (or Matter) which states, in a chemical reaction, matter is neither created nor destroyed

John Dalton (1766 – 1844)
In 1803, proposed an Atomic Theory which states: o All substances are made of atoms o Atoms of the same element are
exactly alike o Atoms of different elements are
different o Atoms constantly move o Conducted experiments in combining
elements o Elements combine in specific
proportions Was a teacher at a very young age Calculated the atomic weights of many
various elements

J.J. Thomson (1856 – 1940)
Thomson atomic theory model came into existence in the year 1903. His theory of atomic structure led
to the “plum-pudding” model
There are small, negatively charged particles inside of an atom
He conducted the cathode-ray tube experiment Which showed that electrons exist

Ernest Rutherford (1871 – 1937)
In 1909, performed the Gold Foil Experiment and suggested the following characteristics of the atom: o Most of the atoms mass is in the
nucleus o There is a small, dense,
positively charged nucleus o Electrons move in empty space in
the atom
Did extensive work on radioactivity Won a Nobel Prize
Was a student of J.J. Thomson

Niels Bohr (1885 – 1962)
In 1913, proposed the Bohr Model, which suggests Electrons travel in definite
paths
Electrons jump between levels from path to path
Won a Nobel Prize
Worked with Ernest Rutherford

Schrodinger & Heisenberg (1887-1961)
• In 1926, he further explained the nature of electrons in an atom – Electrons are found in electron
clouds not paths – Electron paths cannot be
predicted
• Did extensive work on the Wave formula Schrodinger equation
• Won a Nobel Prize Image taken from:

James Chadwick (1891 - 1974)
o Realized that the atomic mass of most elements was double the number of protons o Discovery of the Neutron in
1932
o Worked on the Manhattan Project
o Worked with Ernest Rutherford
o Won a Nobel Prize

Create your own timeline
• You will need (scissors, pencil, rulers, glue stick)
• Draw a straight line length wise across your paper using the ruler
• Label the 6 people on your sheet in the correct order starting with
Democritus through Schrodinger and Heisenberg
• Cut apart the individual facts • Glue the fact with the correct person
• Finally draw a diagram of the Atomic model that each scientists
proposed(use the handout)
