2. Development of the Atom A brief review of the history… http://www.unit5.org/christjs/site%20map.htm

3. John Dalton (1766-1844) English school teacher who began teaching at the age of 12 years old. He combined previous knowledge from other scientists with experimental observations to formulate a set of empirical laws known as the Atomic Theory of Matter. http://www.kjemi.uio.no/software/dalton/graphics/john_dalton.gif

4. Dalton’s Atomic Theory All matter is made of tiny indivisible particles called atoms.

5. Thomson Model of the Atom J. J. Thomson - English physicist. 1897 Experimented using a piece of equipment called a cathode ray tube (CRT), following Crookes’ design. http://dbhs.wvusd.k12.ca.us/webdocs/Gallery/JJ&CRT.GIF

6. Thomson’s Experiment + - voltage source OFF ON Passing an electric current makes a beam appear to move from the negative to the positive end http://www.unit5.org/christjs/site%20map.htm

7. Thomson’s Experiment + - voltage source OFF ON + - By adding an electric field… he found that the moving pieces were negative. http://www.unit5.org/christjs/site%20map.htm

8. J.J. Thomson He proved that atoms of many elements can be made to emit tiny negative particles. From this he concluded that ALL atoms must contain these negative particles. He knew that atoms did not have a net negative charge and so there must be something balancing the negative charge. J.J. Thomson http://www.unit5.org/christjs/site%20map.htm http://www.haverford.edu/physics-astro/songs/thomsonsm.jpg

9. Plum-Pudding Model (aka Raisin Bun) Zumdahl, Zumdahl, DeCoste, World of Chemistry  2002, page 56 In 1910, Thomson proposed the Plum Pudding model –Negative electrons were embedded into a positively charged spherical cloud.

10. Ernest Rutherford (1871-1937) Noticed that ‘alpha’ particles were sometimes deflected by something in the air. Awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1908 for his Gold-Foil Experiment http://www.windows.ucar.edu/people/images/rutherford.gif

17. Atom’s Nucleus Since most of the particles went through, the atom was mostly empty. Because the alpha rays were deflected so much, the positive pieces it was striking were heavy. This small dense positive area is the nucleus. California WEB

18. Bohr’s Model Bohr says:  Electrons orbit the nucleus.  Only certain orbits are allowed.  Each orbit has a specific energy. Nucleus Possible electron orbits e

19. Electron energy The energy of electrons is quantized. Electons must possess specific amounts of energy at each energy level.

20. When the electron absorbs light that has a specific amount of energy, it jumps to a higher orbit. It is said to be in an excited state.

21. When the electron falls to a lower position, it releases a specific amount of energy. When the electron is in the lowest possible energy level, it is said to be in ground state.

22. Light is emitted when electrons return to ground state from an excited state. The colour of that light depends on the amount of energy that is being released.

27. Bohr’s Experiment A spectroscope separates light from a source into its component colours.

28. 1 nm = 1 x 10 -9 m = “a billionth of a meter” 410 nm434 nm486 nm656 nm These distinct lines exist because the electron is restricted to certain energy levels. The energy of the electron is quantized.

30. Summary… When an electric current passes through the gas, it excites or energizes the atoms. http://imagine.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/teachers/lessons/xray_spectra/images/excited.gif

31. Summary… As atoms return to a lower energy state, the gas releases this energy in the form of light. http://imagine.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/teachers/lessons/xray_spectra/images/excited.gif

32. Summary… When we pass this light through a prism or spectrometer, we see a series of individual lines called the element’s “atomic spectrum”. 1 nm = 1 x 10 -9 m = “a billionth of a meter” 410 nm434 nm486 nm656 nm http://www.unit5.org/christjs/site%20map.htm
