480 B.C. a Greek philosopher Theorized everything was made out of tiny particles – atoms Believed that atoms were hard, solid spheres that could not be destroyed Idea was controversial - had no evidence - no one believed him.
3
“ The good things of life are produced by learning with hard work; the bad are reaped of their own accord, without hard work." "Fame and wealth without intelligence are dangerous possessions."
4
English school teacher Formed his own atomic theory. Elements made of tiny particles -atoms. Atoms cannot be created or divided into smaller particles. Atoms of a an element are different from those of any other element.
5
Had evidence to support his idea - Democritus did not. Viewed the atom as a hard, solid spheres - could not be broken down. This theory was disproved by the discovery of electrons
6
Discovered electron by using the cathode ray tube. Cathode rays were stream of (-) charged particles.
7
Model had (+) and (-) charges scattered throughout the atom. Known as chocolate chip cookie model. This model was disproven by discovery of the nucleus. Plum Pudding model
8
Discovered nucleus by the Gold Foil Experiment. Angles of deflection that alpha particles (+) made proved evidence of a nucleus.
9
Model defines location and charge of nucleus – doesn’t clearly define location of the electrons. This model is IMPROVED by the Bohr model.
10
Model depicts atom as small, (+) charged nucleus surrounded by electrons in orbit. Similar to the solar system, but with forces providing attraction, rather than gravity.
12
This model states that an electrons occupy specific positions around the nucleus. He stated that the electrons are confined to these orbits. They can “jump” to another orbit only if some form of energy is given to that electron
13
Bohr’s model was found to be slightly inaccurate. The idea of an electron actually flying around in little circles turned out to have lots of problems Electrons have both particle and wave properties.
14
Einstein theorized that light and matter exhibit properties of both waves and of particles. This theory helps explain the idea that electrons have characteristics of waves and particles. In order to better understand the atomic structure, it is helpful to understand waves and the nature of light All waves can be described by several characteristics.
15
Some characteristics of waves are wavelength, frequency, amplitude and speed. Wavelength (λ) is the shortest distance between equivalent points on a continuous wave. Amplitude is the height of the wave from the origin to the crest or the origin to the trough.
16
Frequency (ν) is the number of waves that pass a given point per second. It is measured in hertz (Hz) Frequency is expressed as “waves per second,” (1/s) or (s -1 ) 652 Hz = 652 waves/second = 652 s -1
17
Frequency and wavelength are inversely related As the wavelength increases, frequency decreases Frequency is an indication of energy. Which wave has the greatest wavelength? The greatest frequency? 3 2
18
All electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed of 3.00 x 10 8 m/s The speed of light (c) is the product of its wavelength (λ) and frequency (ν). c = λ ν Because all light moves at the same speed, it is possible to identify the wavelength or frequency of any wave.
19
What is the wavelength of a wave with a frequency of 5.00 x 10 12 Hz ? c = λ ν c = 3.00 x 10 8 m/s ν = 5.00 x 10 12 Hz 3.00 x 10 8 m/s = ( λ ) (5.00 x 10 12 s -1 ) λ = 3.00 x 10 8 5.00 x 10 12 λ = 6.00 x 10 -5 m
20
What is the frequency of a wave having a wavelength of 3.33 x 10 -8 m? What is the speed of a wave with a frequency of 1.33 x 10 17 Hz and a wavelength of 2.25 x 10 9 m? What is the wavelength of a wave having a frequency of 7.6 x 10 6 Hz? 9.01 x 10 15 Hz 3.00 x 10 8 m/s 39.5 m
21
Light is a type of electromagnetic radiation. Electromagnetic radiation is a form of energy that exhibits wavelike behavior at it travels through space. Different types of electromagnetic radiation are distinguished by their wavelengths Visible light from the sun, microwaves that cook our food, X rays that doctors use, and waves that carry radio and T.V. programs are all forms of electromagnetic radiation.
22
We are familiar with all the colors of visible light from our everyday experiences. If you have ever seen a rainbow, you have seen all the visible colors at once. The various colors that we see correspond to specific wavelength and frequency White light, a form of visible light, contains a continuous range of wavelengths and frequencies.
23
When sun light, one example of white light, passes through a prism it is separated into a continuous spectrum of colors. The spectrum is called continuous because all portions of light correspond to a unique wavelength and frequency.
24
What color has the greatest wavelength? What color has the greatest energy?
25
Visible light is one part of the electromagnetic spectrum. EM spectrum encompasses all forms of electromagnetic radiation ordered by their wavelength and frequencies. EM spectrum contains radio and TV waves, Microwaves, infrared rays, ultraviolet rays, X rays, and gamma rays.
27
Which type of EM radiation are the highest in energy? Which type has the highest wavelength? Which has a higher frequency X rays or Infrared rays?
