Atom

the smallest particle of matter

from the Greek word atomos meaning uncuttable or indivisible

2

Democritus
430 B.C.

Atomic Theory
in 1600s

grew as a series of models that developed from experimental evidence.

As more evidence was collected, the theory and models were revised.
3

Daltons Atomic Theory

Proposed in 1803

laid the groundwork for later atomic models.

Over time, his original theory has been expanded and updated. 4

John Dalton 1766 - 1844

Daltons Atomic Theory

1. 2. 3. Atoms cant be divided. Atoms of the same element are exactly alike with the same mass. Atom of one element cant be changed into an atom of a different element. Atoms cant be created or destroyed, only rearranged. Compounds are composed of atoms of different elements in specific ratios.

Daltons Atomic Theory

With a few exceptions, Daltons theory is used TODAY!

6

Thomsons Model
Proposed model in 1897

atoms contain negatively charged electrons embedded on a positively charged sphere.

7

Joseph John Thomson 1856-1940

Rutherfords Model
Proposed model in 1911

atom contained a tiny core called a nucleus with positively-charged protons.

8

Ernest Rutherford 1871-1937

Rutherfords Gold Foil Experiment

Bohrs Model
Proposed model in 1913

electrons moving around the nucleus in fixed orbits that have a set amount of energy.
10

Niels Bohr 1885-1962

Cloud Model
Proposed model in 1920

electrons move rapidly in every direction around the nucleus.

11

Modern Atomic Model

Proposed model in 1932

at the center of the

atom is a massive nucleus made of protons and neutrons with a cloudlike region surrounding it.
12

James Chadwick 1891-1974

ATOMIC THEORY TIMELINE

On a piece of notebook paper, create a timeline of the development of the atomic theory and models from 430 BC through 1932.

Include the following on your timeline: year of the proposed model, idea, or advancement

name of the scientist responsible for the idea or model (if there is one) sketch of the model with labels for each part (if there is a model) 14

Particle Relationships
1. number of protons equals the number of electrons making the atom neutral (# p+ = # e-) number of neutrons does not have to equal the number of protons (# n # p+) neutrons dont affect the charge of an atom because they have no charge

ISOTOPES
Atoms of the same element have different numbers of neutrons.

Whats the difference between a molecule and a compound?

Molecule is formed when 2 or more atoms join together chemically Compound is a molecule with at least two different elements

H2 Molecules are O2 formed with only a single N2

element.
Compounds H2O are made of CO2 more than CH4 one element.

Compounds can have molecules but molecules cannot BE compounds.

Chemical bond:
a force of attraction between two atoms.

Chemical formula:
shows the atoms in the compound with the ratios.
