Wrote out the first four point atomic theory Dalton
Found the e - Thomson
Experimented with cathode ray tubes Thomson and Goldstein
Thomson’s plum pudding
Found the electrical charge of the e - Millikan
Did the oil drop experiment Millikan
Did the gold foil experiment Rutherford
Found the proton Goldstein
Found the nucleus Rutherford
Found the neutron Chadwick
Atomic Theory Polka Dalton, Thomson, Rutherford and Bohr. Schrödinger and Heisenberg, and many, many more. Used their brains to venture in the realm of inner space and found the world of the atom was a weird and wondrous place.
Dalton did experiments and said, “I think it’s clear, atoms are tiny indestructible spheres.”
Thomson worked with cathode rays and said, “I disagree. A plum-pudding model makes much more sense to me.” A new chapter in atomic theory started to unfold.
When Rutherford played around with atoms made of gold. When a few of his alpha particles came bounding back, he hypothesized a nucleus had knocked them off the track.

Bohr saw spectral lines for hydrogen and said, “It seems to me.. Electrons move in orbits with specific energies.”
Heisenberg said, “Forget it, there’s no way to know the orbit or a path, where the electron’s gonna go.”
Schrödinger used lots and lots of fancy mathematics, and made a model of the atom based on quantum mechanics. It has orbitals and those are based on probability. The atom is a fuzzy blob of pure uncertainty.

What do you know about atom?
How Atoms Differ Date:
Subatomic Particles PROTONS p + In the nucleus +1 charge 1 amu ELECTRON e - In electron cloud -1 charge 1 / 1840 amu NEUTRON n o In the nucleus No charge 1 amu
Atomic number Used to arrange elements in PT by Mosley # of PROTONS # of ELECTRONS IF an ATOM
Isotopes Atoms of the same element that differ in the # of neutrons
Atomic Mass The weighted average of all isotopes. Always a decimal (unless a man-made element)
Mass number Mass of an isotope Always a whole number – not on PT # of PROTONS + NEUTRONS
Nuclide Tells atomic # and mass # of an atom Na Sodium-23 has ____ protons, ___ electrons and ____ neutrons

Ions Atoms with a charge
CATIONS Cations are pawsitive and are written with a plus charge on the upper right. LOST an e-, have more protons; therefore positive. Charge indicates the number of electrons lost. Hint: cation has a t which looks like +
ANIONS Anions are negative and written with a negative charge on the upper right. GAINED an e-, have more electrons; therefore negative. Charge indicates number of electrons gained.
