Atomic Theory “Atom” means uncuttable. It isn’t. --but it is the smallest particle of an element
Early models of the atom Classical model “Plum pudding” model Solar system model
You need to know these people Democritus Dalton Rutherford Millikan Thomson Chadwick? Curie
You will need to know the contributions of… Democritus—first used the term “atom” Considered four “elements”: earth, air, fire and water (it could translate as “characteristics”) The physical shape of the “atom” gave substances their physical properties. “Atoms” are not changed in mixtures
You will need to know the contributions of… Dalton—modern atomic theory -all matter is made of atoms -atoms of one element are identical, atoms of different elements are different -atoms form compounds in simple whole number ratios -chemical reactions are rearrangements of atoms, the atoms are not changed -compounds with different ratios of atoms are different compounds
You will need to know the contributions of… Dalton—modern atomic theory -all matter is made of atoms -atoms of one element are identical, atoms of different elements are different -atoms form compounds in simple whole number ratios -chemical reactions are rearrangements of atoms, the atoms are not changed -compounds with different ratios of atoms are different compounds The law of definite proportions The law of multiple proportions
The mass of a proton=1 dalton It’s about the same mass as a neutron (an electron is about 1/1800 th of that mass) ~1.7 x g It’s also called an atomic mass unit (1amu)
You will need to know the contributions of… Rutherford-Gold foil experiment -showed atom is mainly empty space -mass and (+) charge in the center
You will need to know the contributions of… Thomson— cathode “rays” = stream of electrons He calculated the charge/mass ratio of electron
You will need to know the contributions of… Millikan—oil drop experiment determined the charge (& therefore the mass) of an electron
You will need to know the contributions of… Curie— -described radioactive decay of atoms
You will need to know the contributions of… Chadwick— -discovered neutrons Cloud chamber— the straight track shows that it has no charge

Atomic number and mass number Atomic number is the number of protons— determines the element Atomic mass number = #protons + #neutrons # electrons = # protons, in an atom
Atomic number and mass number Atomic number is the number of protons— determines the element Atomic mass number = #protons + #neutrons # electrons = # protons, in an atom An atom gains, loses, or shares electrons to form chemical bonds
