2. Dalton’s Model Dalton thought that atoms were smooth, hard balls. Introduction to Atoms

3. Thomson’s Model Thomson suggested that atoms had negatively charged electrons set in a positive sphere. Each electron is represented by the symbol e −. Introduction to Atoms

4. Rutherford’s Gold Foil Experiment Rutherford was surprised that a few particles were deflected strongly. Which are the paths of the particles that were not predicted by Thomson’s atomic model? Introduction to Atoms

5. Rutherford’s Model According to Rutherford’s model, an atom was mostly open space. The “6+” in the model means that there are six protons in the nucleus. Introduction to Atoms

6. Use the diagrams to compare the expected and observed results of Rutherford’s gold foil experiment. Introduction to Atoms

7. Bohr’s Model Niels Bohr suggested that electrons move in specific orbits around the nucleus of an atom. Introduction to Atoms

8. Cloud Model Electrons move rapidly in different directions around the nucleus.

9. Introduction to Atoms Modern Model of an Atom A carbon atom has a nucleus made up of positively charged protons and neutral neutrons. The nucleus is surrounded by a cloud of negatively charged electrons.

10. Particles in an Atom An atom is made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. What is the correct charge for each atomic particle? Introduction to Atoms

11. Isotopes of Carbon All isotopes of carbon contain 6 protons. They differ in the number of neutrons. What is the missing information for each isotope? Introduction to Atoms

12. Mendeleev’s Periodic Table In his periodic table, Mendeleev left blank spaces. He predicted that the blank spaces would be filled by elements that had not yet been discovered. He even correctly predicted the properties of those new elements. Organizing the Elements

13. Silicon The entry for silicon (Si) in the periodic table looks like this. Organizing the Elements

14. Potassium Potassium has an atomic number of 19 and an atomic mass of 39.098 amu. Bananas are rich in potassium. Organizing the Elements

15. The Periodic Table The periodic table is one of the most valuable tools to a chemist. Organizing the Elements

16. Elements of Period 3 The properties of the Period 3 elements change as you move across the period. Which of these are Metal? Metalloid? Nonmetal? Organizing the Elements
