AP Chemistry Unit 2: Atoms, Molecules, Ions History of Atomic Theory – Classic Atomic Experiments
2
Early History Early Greeks (Circa 400 BC)
Theorized of Existence of Atoms (“atomos”)
3
Dark Ages of Chemistry . . . Alchemists
4
AGE OF EXPERIMENTATION
Mid-Late 1700’s AGE OF EXPERIMENTATION
5
Antoine Lavoisier French Chemist Law of Conservation of Mass
“Father of Modern Chemistry”
6
Joseph Proust 1754-1826 French Chemist Law of Definite
Composition/Proportions
7
John Dalton 1766 – 1844 English Chemist
& School Teacher Believed that atoms were not divisible, and that atoms of each element are identical to each other. The Law of Multiple Proportions
8
Dalton’s Atomic Theory
All matter is composed of extremely small particles called atoms. Atoms of a given element are identical in size, mass, and other properties; atoms of different elements differ in size, mass, and other properties. Atoms cannot be subdivided, created, or destroyed. Atoms of different elements can combine in simple, whole-number ratios to form chemical compounds. In chemical reactions, atoms are combined, separated, or rearranged. **The Atomic Theory was not accepted until the late 1800s. **There are two errors with The Atomic Theory.

Models of The ATOM Dalton: Solid Sphere
10
JJ. Thomson ( ) English Physicist Cathode Ray Tube Experiment
11
Thompson: Was able to deflect the cathode ray in an electric field (1897) Found the mass to charge ratio of an electron (-1.76 x 108 C/g) Credited with discovery of electron
12
Robert Milliken (1868-1953) Oil Drop Experiment American Physicist
Measured minimum electric charge that could be carried by a particle (1905) (This enabled him to find the mass of an electron) Determined it to be 1/1837 as massive as a H atom
13
The Discovery of the Electron
“Could anything at first sight seem more unpractical than a body which is so small that its mass is an insignificant fraction of the mass of an atom of hydrogen?” - J. J. Thomson
14
Thompson’s Model of the Atom
15
Rutherford (1871-1953) Performed the Au foil experiment
New Zealand born physicist Performed the Au foil experiment
16
Rutherford (1871-1953) Discovered the nucleus (1910)
Discovered the proton (1918)
17
James Chadwick ( ) Discovered the neutron in 1932
18
Rutherford’s Model of the Atom
19
SUBATOMIC PARTICLES Electron 9.11 x 10-31 kg -1 (-1.60 x 10-19C)
Proton 1.67 x kg +1 (+1.60 x 10-19C) Neutron None
