People, Theories, and Models Democritus – ancient Greek that named the atom after “atomos” which means indivisible. Democritus – ancient Greek that named the atom after “atomos” which means indivisible. Aristotle argued against this idea suggesting that matter could be divided infinitely. Aristotle argued against this idea suggesting that matter could be divided infinitely. John Dalton – first chemist that made the first table of elements and was the first to suggest that atoms of gold were unique and different from atoms of iron. He had a theory called the billiard ball model of atoms…suggesting that atoms were like balls that collide with each other and have unique masses and properties.

He had a theory called the billiard ball model of atoms…suggesting that atoms were like balls that collide with each other and have unique masses and properties. Dalton proved in 1802 that atoms were real and he pictured them as small billiard balls. He used an example that if you had some gold each atom would be solid gold.

More about People, Theories, and Models In1897 J.J. Thomson published a theory called the Plum Pudding Model of an atom. In1897 J.J. Thomson published a theory called the Plum Pudding Model of an atom. His model put the first electrical quantities into the model called electrons. His model put the first electrical quantities into the model called electrons. The electrons were seen as negative charges and the pudding part of the model was seen as a positively charged material making up the rest of the atom. The electrons were seen as negative charges and the pudding part of the model was seen as a positively charged material making up the rest of the atom. Plum Pudding Model

Even more about people, theories and models In 1911 Ernest Rutherford disproved the plum pudding model by proving the existence of a nucleus which held most of the mass and an empty space between the nucleus and the orbits of electrons. In 1911 Ernest Rutherford disproved the plum pudding model by proving the existence of a nucleus which held most of the mass and an empty space between the nucleus and the orbits of electrons. Eventually this grew into our model that has protons and neutrons in the nucleus and electrons in orbits spinning around the nucleus. Eventually this grew into our model that has protons and neutrons in the nucleus and electrons in orbits spinning around the nucleus.

Final notes about people, theories and models Niels Bohr applied quantum physics to the model of the atom in 1913 and added a specific orbital/energy level concept to the atom. Niels Bohr applied quantum physics to the model of the atom in 1913 and added a specific orbital/energy level concept to the atom. Each atom is now seen as having a specific pattern of space where electrons can be found called s, p, d, and f orbitals.

Final notes about people, theories and models The electron cloud model puts all of the parts of the atom into high speed motion, and suggest that we never really know exactly where electrons will be but that there are regions where we may find them. The electron cloud model puts all of the parts of the atom into high speed motion, and suggest that we never really know exactly where electrons will be but that there are regions where we may find them. Erwin Schrodinger is credited with the cloud model. Erwin Schrodinger is credited with the cloud model. The cloud model represents a sort of history of where the electron has probably been and where it is likely to be going. The red dot in the middle represents the nucleus while the red dot around the outside represents an instance of the electron. Imagine, as the electron moves it leaves a trace of where it was. This collection of traces quickly begins to resemble a cloud. The cloud model represents a sort of history of where the electron has probably been and where it is likely to be going.

How to Draw an Atom First step is to find the element on the periodic table. First step is to find the element on the periodic table. Which row or period is it in? This tell you how many orbitals it has. Which row or period is it in? This tell you how many orbitals it has. What is its atomic number? This tells you the number of protons and electrons it has. What is its atomic number? This tells you the number of protons and electrons it has. What is the atomic mass (weight)? Round it off and subtract the atomic number and you have found the number of neutrons. What is the atomic mass (weight)?
