1. Atomic Theory: the beginning
Chapter 3 Part I

2. Democritus An Ancient Greek Theorized about the existence of atoms.
Did not use Scientific Method.

3. John Dalton A school teacher in England. Worked out his ideas at home.
Used Scientific Method.

4. Dalton’s Atomic Theory
All Elements are composed of tiny indivisible particles called atoms.
Atoms of the same element are identical. Atoms of one element are different from any other element.
Atoms of different elements can physically mix or chemically combine with one another in simple whole number ratios.
Chemical reactions occur when atoms are separated, joined, or rearranged as a result of a chemical reaction.

5. Dalton’s Atomic Theory

7. Electrons Atoms are know to be divisible.
One part of the atom, the electrons are negatively charged subatomic particles.
These were discovered by JJ Thomson.

12. Millikan and the charge of an electron
Robert Millikan carried out experiments that allowed him to calculate the charge and mass of an electron. Charge is one unit and mass is 1/1840 the mass of a hydrogen atom.

13. Protons
E. Goldstein observed a cathode-ray tube and discovered rays traveling in the opposite direction.
He called these canal rays and That they had a positive charge.
We now call them protons. Their mass is 1840 times an electron

14. Neutrons
James Chadwick confirms the existence of the neutron. These have no charge but add weight to the atom.

16. How did the modern atomic model develop?

17. Development of Atomic model
It all started with Plum Pudding.
Not this Plum Pudding!!

18. This is JJ Thompson’s Plum Pudding Model

19. Rutherford’s Model
Rutherford realized from his experiments that the positively charged particles had converged into a small “nucleus” in the center of the atom and were surrounded by the very small electrons.

20. Bohr’s model
Bohr took Rutherford’s model one step further and theorized the electrons orbit the nucleus.

21. Common View: But is it correct?
