Atomic Structure Timeline
Democritus (400 B.C.) Proposed that matter was composed of tiny indivisible particles Not based on experimental data Greek: atomos
Alchemy (next 2000 years) Mixture of science and mysticism. Lab procedures were developed, but alchemists did not perform controlled experiments like true scientists.
John Dalton (1807) British Schoolteacher Billiard Ball Model based his theory on others’ experimental data Billiard Ball Model atom is a uniform, solid sphere
John Dalton Dalton’s Four Postulates 1. Elements are composed of small indivisible particles called atoms. 2. Atoms of the same element are identical. Atoms of different elements are different. 3. Atoms of different elements combine together in simple proportions to create a compound. 4. In a chemical reaction, atoms are rearranged, but not changed.
Henri Becquerel (1896) Discovered radioactivity Three types: spontaneous emission of radiation from the nucleus Three types: alpha () - positive beta () - negative gamma () - neutral
J. J. Thomson (1903) Cathode Ray Tube Experiments Discovered Electrons beam of negative particles Discovered Electrons negative particles within the atom Plum-pudding Model
J. J. Thomson (1903) Plum-pudding Model positive sphere (pudding) with negative electrons (plums) dispersed throughout
Ernest Rutherford (1911) Gold Foil Experiment Discovered the nucleus dense, positive charge in the center of the atom Nuclear Model
Gold Foil Experiment Alpha particles shot through gold foil. Most went straight through. A few were deflected because the particle hit the nucleus of the gold foil.
Ernest Rutherford (1911) Nuclear Model dense, positive nucleus surrounded by negative electrons
