Democritus (c. 460—370 BC)
Greek philosopher
The name atom was his idea
Proposed matter is made up of small particles
Atoms comes from atomos=indivisible
Atoms differ in size and shape and combine in different ways, & constantly moving

John Dalton (1766—1844) English chemist & physicist, self educated
published Atomic Theory:
1. Each element made of really small particles called atoms2. All atoms of a given element are identical3. Atoms of different elements have different properties, like mass
and chemical reactivity4. Atoms aren’t changed by chemical reactions, just rearranged

J.J. Thomson (1856—1940)
Identified the electron using cathode ray tube, determined negative charge
Atom is neutral, with a positive sphere and negative electrons embedded called the “plum pudding” model. Yum.
The television and computer monitors use this technology even today.

Ernest Rutherford (1871—1937)
Gold Foil Experiment—bombarded gold foil with radioactive particles, most passed through, some bounced back!
Conclusions: Some parts of atom must be more dense. New picture of the atom: dense at the
center, electrons on the outside Atom mostly empty space, most of mass
found in the center—nucleus with positively charged protons

Niels Bohr (1885—1962)
Used light and observed the way light interacts only with specific energies: determined the electrons are in specific levels
Electrons moving around nucleus in fixed orbits w/fixed energy
Sometimes called the planetary model Not completely accurate with how electrons
are truly arranged

Basics on the atom:
Three kinds of subatomic particles are electrons, protons, and neutrons.
The nucleus is the center area of an atom and contains most of its mass
Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus. Each has a mass of 1 amu
Electrons are found in levels outside of the nucleus

The number of protons are equal to the number of electrons in an atom so…
Put a number where there is a letter.

Finding the amount of neutrons is a bit more work…
Li73
This is called the isotope notation.
![Page 14: 1 The Atom, in a nutshell…. 2 Democritus (c. 460—370 BC) Greek philosopher The name atom was his idea Proposed matter is made up of small particles](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070401/56649f1a5503460f94c2fecd/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

The notation means:
Li73
Mass number, A
Protons and neutrons added together
Atomic number, Z
Number of protons only
73
4This particular atom has
4 neutrons.
Lithium - 7

Both of these atoms would have the same chemical properties, but one is slightly heavier than the other. They are Isotopes.

Hint: always find the atomic number FIRST then make protons and electrons equal to that!
