EVOLUTION OF THE ATOM

Democritus 1._______ was a Greek philosopher who was the first person to use the term
atom. He 2.__________thought that if you take a piece of matter and divide it and continue
to divide it you 3.________ would eventually 4._______came to a point where you
5._______ could not divide it any more. This fundamental or basic unit was what
Democritus 6.________called an atom. John Dalton was the first to adapt Democritus’
theory into the first modern atomic model.
J.J Thomson was a physicist who is 7.________ credited for discovering the electron. He
8.________used his research 9._____on cathode ray tube technology in this discovery,
Thomson 10.________ showed that the charge would deflect away from the negative coil.
He then 11.________ stated that this charge was thus a negative charge.
Ernest Rutherford was not 12. _______convinced about the model of the atom 13._______
proposed by Thomson. He 14. _______ established his now famous Gold Foil Experiment,
Rutherford stated that the atom was like a mini solar system and that the electrons
15.______orbited the nucleus 16. _______ in a wide orbit. That is why it is 17. _______
known as the planetary model.
Niels Bohr 18._______agreed with the planetary model of the atom, but also 19. ______
knew that it had a few flaws. Using his knowledge of energy and quantum physics he was
able to perfect Rutherford’s model. He was able to answer why the electrons did not
collapse into the nucleus. Erwin Schrödinger was a revolutionary physicist who 20. ______
used Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle to come up with the atomic model that we still use
today.
