OVERVIEW Early Greeks - Democritus v Aristotle Dalton’s Atomic Theory
Thomson - discovery of electrons Rutherford - discovery of nucleus Chadwick - discovery of neutron Bohr - planetary model of atom ket

OVERVIEW Early Greeks - Democritus v Aristotle Dalton’s Atomic Theory
Thomson - discovery of electrons Rutherford - discovery of nucleus Chadwick - discovery of neutron Bohr - planetary model of atom ket
4
Early Greeks What is the nature of matter?
-Infinitely divisible pieces of “stuff” -Earth, Air, Fire ,and Water No experiments ket
5
Early Greeks Democritus Aristotle vs ket
6
Aristotle vs. Democritus
New idea “atomos” - indivisible Eventually, can’t divide matter any more First “atomic theory” Aristotle Didn’t buy it… All things are infinitely divisible Guess who won? ket
7
For 2000 years, scientists thought all matter was infinitely divisible
CHAMPION (Aristotle) For 2000 years, scientists thought all matter was infinitely divisible ket
8
OVERVIEW Early Greeks - Democritus v Aristotle Dalton’s Atomic Theory
Thomson - discovery of electrons Rutherford - discovery of nucleus Chadwick - discovery of neutron Bohr - planetary model of atom ket
9
Dalton’s Atomic Theory
John Dalton 1807 Idea of “atom” Solid spheres-indestructible Unique to each element Combine evenly Reactions are rearrangements ket
10
Dalton’s Atomic Theory
Atoms combine evenly in compounds Small, whole number proportions (e.g.) water - H20 H O H O ket
11
OVERVIEW Dalton’s Atomic Theory Thomson - discovery of electrons
Rutherford - discovery of nucleus Chadwick - discovery of neutron Bohr - planetary model of atom ket
12
Thomson’s Discovery John Dalton Cathode Ray Tube
Sends a “ray” of particles Used magnet to deflect beam first So, beam was made of particles Thomson then passed ray through +/- charged plates J.J. Thomson 1897 ket
13
Thomson’s Discovery The beam was attracted to the positive plate.
So, cathode rays are negative He called them ELECTRONS ket
14
Thomson’s Discovery Most books give Thomson credit for discovering proton He and Millikan found the mass of an electron to be much smaller than an atom So, electrons are VERY VERY small Protons must be large in comparison plum pudding model ket
15
Plum Pudding model Preface: “Plum Pudding” atomic model
atoms are solid made of positively-charged material with negative “bits” scattered throughout (like raisins in plum pudding) (or raisin bread) ket
16
OVERVIEW Dalton’s Atomic Theory Thomson - discovery of electrons
Rutherford - discovery of nucleus Chadwick - discovery of neutron Bohr - planetary model of atom ket
17
Rutherford’s Discovery
Ernest Rutherford Image courtesty of ket
18
Gold Foil Experiment To test the plum pudding model (1907):
Shot alpha rays at thin gold foil (about 2000 atoms thick) EXPECTED to see the ray scatter as it hit all the solid atoms Like spray from a nozzle ket

Gold Foil Experiment Here is what they saw: ket

21
Gold Foil Experiment RESULTS Most of the particles were not deflected
Some were minimally deflected VERY few (1 in 20,000) bounced back “as if you had fired a 15-inch shell at a piece of tissue paper and it came back and hit you.” - Rutherford ket
22
Gold Foil Experiment CONCLUSIONS Plum pudding model wrong
A “nucleus” exists It is tiny It is densely-packed and positively-charged Empty spaces exist in atoms LOTS of it!!!! ket
23
Gold Foil Experiment How much empty space?
Use a billiard ball to represent a nucleus The electrons occupy a volume one kilometer in ALL DIRECTIONS Most of that space is EMPTY. ket
24
OVERVIEW Dalton’s Atomic Theory Thomson - discovery of electrons
Rutherford - discovery of nucleus Chadwick - discovery of neutron Bohr - planetary model of atom ket
25
Chadwick’s Discovery (1932)
PROBLEM There was more mass in nucleus than explained by protons alone Where did it come from? NEUTRONS Chadwick ket
26
OVERVIEW Dalton’s Atomic Theory Thomson - discovery of electrons
Rutherford - discovery of nucleus Chadwick - discovery of neutron Bohr - planetary model of atom ket
27
Bohr’s Atomic Model Nucleus has + charge Electrons have - charge
Why don’t electrons simply “fall into” the nucleus? Bohr ket
28
Bohr’s Atomic Model Bohr pictured atoms as little solar systems
Nucleus in center Electrons “orbiting” in circles We now know this isn’t correct But it helps to explain many things about atoms ket

Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons
Three Main Subatomic Particles Protons Located in nucleus Positively charged (+1) Mass = “1” mass unit (or 1 gram/mole) Number of protons = atomic number (Z) ket
31
Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons
Three Main Subatomic Particles Neutrons Located in nucleus no charge (0) Mass = “1” mass unit (or 1 gram/mole) ket
32
Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons
Three Main Subatomic Particles Electrons Located outside nucleus negative charge (-1) So small we assume mass = 0 Actual mass of g/mol ket
33
Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons
Atomic number (Z) shown in lower left ALWAYS equals the number of protons Equals the number of electrons in a neutral atom Isotope Notation C 6 ket
34
Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons
Mass Number (A) shown in upper left Is the sum: neutrons + protons In this example, carbon has 6 protons and 7 neutrons Isotope Notation C 13 6 ket
35
Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons
We call this atom “carbon-13” Isotope Notation C 13 6 ket
36
Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons
Atoms with the same number of protons can have different numbers of neutrons. We call such atoms isotopes ket

Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons
Atoms with the same number of protons can have different numbers of neutrons. We call such atoms isotopes C C C 12 13 14 6 6 6 Carbon -12 Carbon -13 Carbon -14 ket
