Section 4-1 Section 4.1 Early Ideas About Matter Compare and contrast the atomic models of Democritus, Aristotle, and Dalton. theory: an explanation supported by many experiments; is still subject to new experimental data, can be modified, and is considered successful if it can be used to make predictions that are true Understand how Dalton's theory explains the conservation of mass.

5. Section 4-1 Section 4.1 Early Ideas About Matter (cont.) Dalton's atomic theory The ancient Greeks tried to explain matter, but the scientific study of the atom began with John Dalton in the early 1800's.

6. Section 4-1 Greek Philosophers (cont.) Many ancient scholars believed matter was composed of such things as earth, water, air, and fire. Many believed matter could be endlessly divided into smaller and smaller pieces.

7. Section 4-1 Greek Philosophers (cont.) Democritus (460–370 B.C. ) was the first person to propose the idea that matter was not infinitely divisible, but made up of individual particles called atomos. Aristotle (484–322 B.C. ) disagreed with Democritus because he did not believe empty space could exist. Aristotle’s views went unchallenged for 2,000 years until science developed methods to test the validity of his ideas.

8. Section 4-1 Greek Philosophers (cont.)

9. Section 4-1 Greek Philosophers (cont.) John Dalton revived the idea of the atom in the early 1800s based on numerous chemical reactions. Dalton’s atomic theory easily explained conservation of mass in a reaction as the result of the combination, separation, or rearrangement of atoms.Dalton’s atomic theory

17. Section 4-2 The Electron When an electric charge is applied, a ray of radiation travels from the cathode to the anode, called a cathode ray.cathode ray Cathode rays are a stream of particles carrying a negative charge. The particles carrying a negative charge are known as electrons.electrons

18. Section 4-2 The Electron (cont.) This figure shows a typical cathode ray tube.

19. Section 4-2 The Electron (cont.) J.J. Thomson measured the effects of both magnetic and electric fields on the cathode ray to determine the charge-to-mass ratio of a charged particle, then compared it to known values. The mass of the charged particle was much less than a hydrogen atom, then the lightest known atom. Thomson received the Nobel Prize in 1906 for identifying the first subatomic particle—the electron

20. Section 4-2 The Electron (cont.) In the early 1910s, Robert Millikan used the oil-drop apparatus shown below to determine the charge of an electron.

21. Section 4-2 The Electron (cont.) Charges change in discrete amounts— 1.602  10 –19 coulombs, the charge of one electron (now equated to a single unit, 1–). With the electron’s charge and charge-to- mass ratio known, Millikan calculated the mass of a single electron. the mass of a hydrogen atom

22. Section 4-2 The Electron (cont.) Matter is neutral. J.J. Thomson's plum pudding model of the atom states that the atom is a uniform, positively changed sphere containing electrons.

23. Section 4-2 The Nucleus In 1911, Ernest Rutherford studied how positively charged alpha particles interacted with solid matter. By aiming the particles at a thin sheet of gold foil, Rutherford expected the paths of the alpha particles to be only slightly altered by a collision with an electron.

24. Section 4-2 The Nucleus (cont.) Although most of the alpha particles went through the gold foil, a few of them bounced back, some at large angles.

25. Section 4-2 The Nucleus (cont.) Rutherford concluded that atoms are mostly empty space. Almost all of the atom's positive charge and almost all of its mass is contained in a dense region in the center of the atom called the nucleus. nucleus Electrons are held within the atom by their attraction to the positively charged nucleus.

26. Section 4-2 The Nucleus (cont.) The repulsive force between the positively charged nucleus and positive alpha particles caused the deflections.

27. Section 4-2 The Nucleus (cont.) Rutherford refined the model to include positively charged particles in the nucleus called protons.protons James Chadwick received the Nobel Prize in 1935 for discovering the existence of neutrons, neutral particles in the nucleus which accounts for the remainder of an atom’s mass. neutrons

28. Section 4-2 The Nucleus (cont.) All atoms are made of three fundamental subatomic particles: the electron, the proton, and the neutron. Atoms are spherically shaped. Atoms are mostly empty space, and electrons travel around the nucleus held by an attraction to the positively charged nucleus.

29. Section 4-2 The Nucleus (cont.) Scientists have determined that protons and neutrons are composed of subatomic particles called quarks.

Electrons have a 1– charge, protons have a 1+ charge, and neutrons have no charge. An atom consists mostly of empty space surrounding the nucleus.

61. Study Guide 3 Section 4.3 How Atoms Differ Key Concepts The atomic number of an atom is given by its number of protons. The mass number of an atom is the sum of its neutrons and protons. atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons mass number = atomic number + number of neutrons Atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes. The atomic mass of an element is a weighted average of the masses of all of its naturally occurring isotopes.

Nuclear reactions involve changes in the nucleus of an atom. There are three types of radiation: alpha (charge of 2+), beta (charge of 1–), and gamma (no charge).
