NOS: Paradigm Shift History behind Atomic Theory Democritus ( 420 BCE ) first proposed the idea that matter may be made up of small, indivisible particles called atoms. Aristotle ( BCE) Greek philosopher; matter composed of earth, air, fire, water. This view dominated thought until 17th century 5

NOS: Paradigm Shift History behind Atomic Theory Atomism developed in Chinese & Arabic cultures during the Dark Ages in Europe. John Dalton ( ) was the first to base atomic theory on scientific evidence. 6

NOS: Paradigm Shift Dalton’s Atomic Theory Elements are made of tiny particles called atoms. All atoms of a given element are identical. The atoms of a given element are different from those of any other element. 7

NOS: Paradigm Shift Dalton’s Atomic Theory Atoms of one element can combine with atoms of other elements to form compounds. A given compound always has the same relative number of types of atoms. Atoms cannot be created, nor divided into smaller particles, nor destroyed in the chemical process. A chemical reaction simply changes the way atoms are grouped together. 8

NOS: Paradigm Shift Evidence for sub-atomic particles 1897: J.J. Thomsen: Cathode Ray Tube Evidence for electrons: Bent a stream of rays originating from the negative electrode (cathode). Stream of particles with mass & negative charge. 9

NOS: Paradigm Shift Evidence for sub-atomic particles 1909: Ernest Rutherford: Gold Foil Evidence for protons & nucleus: Alpha particles deflected passing through gold foil 10

NOS: Paradigm Shift Evidence for sub-atomic particles 1932: James Chadwick: Beryllium Evidence for neutrons: Alpha particles caused beryllium to emit rays that could pass through lead but not be deflected, 11
