Unit 3: Atoms, Elements and the Periodic Table Development of the Atomic Theory

Atoms are everywhere. They make up the air you are breathing, the chair you are sitting in, and the clothes you are wearing. Atoms determine the properties of matter. For example, the aluminum containers are lightweight because of the properties of the atoms that make up the aluminum.

Let’s take a look at the different atomic theories throughout the years.

Democritus’s Theory of the Atom

This is the Greek philosopher Democritus who began the search for a description of matter more than 2400 years ago.

He asked: Could matter be divided into smaller and smaller pieces forever, or was there a limit to the number of times a piece of matter could be divided?

His theory: Matter could not be divided into smaller and smaller pieces forever, eventually the smallest possible piece would be obtained. This piece would be indivisible. He named the smallest piece of matter “atomos,” meaning “not to be cut.”

To Democritus, atoms were small, hard particles that were all made of the same material but were different shapes and sizes. Atoms were infinite in number, always moving and capable of joining together.

DALTON'S ATOMIC THEORY

John Dalton (1766-1844) was such a brilliant youth that he became an English school teacher when barely 12 years old.

He proposed the Atomic theory of matter based on his experimental observations. The main postulates of Dalton’s atomic theory are as follows:

All matter is made of atoms. Atoms are indivisible and indestructible. All atoms of a given element are identical in mass and properties. Compounds are formed by a combination of two or more different kinds of atoms. A chemical reaction is a rearrangement of atoms. Atoms can be neither created nor destroyed.

Unlike Democritus, he based his views on scientific experiments. His theory is considered the foundation of modern atomic theory.

THOMSON'S ATOMIC THEORY

Thomson's atomic theory proposed a model of atom which is known as plum pudding model or Christmas pudding or chocolate chip cookie model.

Till the end of the nineteenth century the concept of atom was similar to a small solid billiard ball.

In the year 1897 Joseph John Thomson (1856–1940) totally changed the view of an atom by discovering electron. Thomson’s atomic theory suggested that the atom is not indivisible as it was of smaller pieces – electrons and protons.

An atom consists of a sphere of positive charge with negatively charged electron embedded in it. The positive and the negative charges in an atom are equal in magnitude, due to which an atom is electrically neutral. It has no over all negative or positive charge.

RUTHERFORD'S ATOMIC THEORY

100 years ago, on March 7, 1911, Ernest Rutherford (1871–1937) presented a paper to the Manchester Literary and Philosophical Society accurately describing the structure of the atom.

Based on an experiment he had performed - with totally unexpected results - he realized that the atom must have almost all of its mass concentrated at its center, in a nucleus, with the vast majority of the atom consisting chiefly of empty space.

Two years earlier, in 1909, he had conducted an experiment with two other scientists, in which they studied the deflection angles of "alpha particles" that they shot through a microscopically thin layer of gold. Alpha particles are just helium atoms stripped of their 2 electrons.

He showed that while the nucleus contains virtually all of the mass of the atom, it only takes up one-billionth of the volume of the atom, an inconceivably tiny amount. Much smaller particles - electrons - orbit the nucleus at a great distance, relatively speaking.
