4.1 Defining the Atom > 3 Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc., or its affiliates. All Rights Reserved. Early Models of the Atom An atom is the smallest particle of an element that retains its identity in a chemical reaction. Although early philosophers and scientists could not observe individual atoms, they were still able to propose ideas about the structure of atoms.

4.1 Defining the Atom > 4 Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc., or its affiliates. All Rights Reserved. Early Models of the Atom Democritus’s Atomic Philosophy The Greek philosopher Democritus (460 BC –370 BC ) was among the first to suggest the existence of atoms.

4.1 Defining the Atom > 5 Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc., or its affiliates. All Rights Reserved. Early Models of the Atom Democritus’s Atomic Philosophy Democritus reasoned that atoms were indivisible and indestructible.

4.1 Defining the Atom > 6 Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc., or its affiliates. All Rights Reserved. Early Models of the Atom Democritus’s Atomic Philosophy Democritus reasoned that atoms were indivisible and indestructible. Although, Democritus’s ideas agreed with later scientific theory, they did not explain chemical behavior They also lacked experimental support because Democritus’s approach was not based on the scientific method.

4.1 Defining the Atom > 7 Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc., or its affiliates. All Rights Reserved. Dalton’s Atomic Theory The modern process of discovery regarding atoms began with John Dalton (1766–1864), an English chemist and schoolteacher. Early Models of the Atom

4.1 Defining the Atom > 8 Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc., or its affiliates. All Rights Reserved. Dalton’s Atomic Theory By using experimental methods, Dalton transformed Democritus’s ideas on atoms into a scientific theory. Early Models of the Atom

4.1 Defining the Atom > 9 Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc., or its affiliates. All Rights Reserved. Dalton’s Atomic Theory Early Models of the Atom Dalton studied the ratios in which elements combine in chemical reactions. The result of his work is known as Dalton’s atomic theory.

4.1 Defining the Atom > 10 Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc., or its affiliates. All Rights Reserved. Dalton’s Atomic Theory Atoms of element A Early Models of the Atom 1.All elements are composed of tiny indivisible particles called atoms.

4.1 Defining the Atom > 11 Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc., or its affiliates. All Rights Reserved. Dalton’s Atomic Theory Atoms of element A Atoms of element B Early Models of the Atom 2.Atoms of the same element are identical. The atoms of any one element are different from those of any other element.

Dalton’s Atomic Theory Mixture of atoms of elements A and B Early Models of the Atom 3.Atoms of different elements can physically mix together or can chemically combine in simple whole-number ratios to form compounds.

Compound made by chemically combining atoms of elements A and B Dalton’s Atomic Theory Early Models of the Atom 4.Chemical reactions occur when atoms are separated from each other, joined, or rearranged in different combinations. Atoms of one element are never changed into atoms of another element as a result of a chemical reaction.

4.1 Defining the Atom > 14 Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc., or its affiliates. All Rights Reserved. Sizing up the Atom What instruments are used to observe individual atoms? Sizing up the Atom

4.1 Defining the Atom > 15 Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc., or its affiliates. All Rights Reserved. Sizing up the Atom This liquid mercury illustrates Dalton’s concept of the atom. Every drop, no matter its size has the same properties. Even if you could make a drop the size of one atom, it would still have the chemical properties of mercury.

By comparison, Earth’s population is only about 7  10 9 people. If you could line up 100,000,000 copper atoms side by side, they would produce a line only 1 cm long! Atoms are very small.

4.1 Defining the Atom > 17 Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc., or its affiliates. All Rights Reserved. Despite their small size, individual atoms are observable with instruments such as scanning electron microscopes (SEM). Sizing up the Atom In scanning electron microscopes, a beam of electrons is focused on the sample. Electron microscopes are capable of much higher magnifications than light microscopes.

The ability to move individual atoms holds future promise for the creation of atomic- sized electronic devices, such as circuits and computer chips. Sizing up the Atom With the help of electron microscopes, individual atoms can even be moved around and arranged in patterns.

This atomic-scale, or “nanoscale,” technology could become essential to future applications in medicine, communications, solar energy, and space exploration. Sizing up the Atom An example of a device made from individual atoms is the nanocar shown here.
