Democritus This is the Greek
philosopher Democritus who began the search for a description of matter more than 2400 years ago.
He asked: Could matter be divided into smaller and smaller pieces forever, or was there a limit to the number of times a piece of matter could be divided?
400 BC

DEMOCRITUS’ ATOMIC THEORY 400BC
Democritus asserted that space contained an infinite number of particles
• Named atomos, or "indivisible”•Atoms are eternal and invisible; absolutely small, so small that their size cannot be diminished; totally full and incompressible.•Atoms are homogeneous, differing only in shape, arrangement, position, and number

Atomos To Democritus,
atoms were small, hard particles that were all made of the same material but were different shapes and sizes.
Atoms were infinite in number, always moving and capable of joining together.

Dalton’s Theory (early 1800’s) He deduced that all
elements are composed of atoms. Atoms are indivisible and indestructible particles.
Atoms of the same element are exactly alike.
Atoms of different elements are different.
Compounds are formed by the joining of atoms of two or more elements in specific ratios.

J.J. Thomson (English 1897)
Used Cathode Ray tube to determine the presence of – (electrons) and + (protons) particles.

J.J. Thomson (English 1897)
Plum Pudding Model -- the structure of an atom is something like pudding. He assumed that the basic body of an atom is a spherical object containing electrons & protons randomly confined in homogeneous jellylike material. Positive charges cancel the negative charges.

Nagaoka (Japanese 1904) The Japanese Nagaoka imagined
the atom to be like the planet Saturn. He thought it had a positively charged center, with electrons in orbit around it’s middle. There was a problem with this picture of the atom. A charged particle, such as an electron, moving in a circle, radiates electromagnetic waves. As it radiates, it loses energy. Unless it can get energy from some other source, it will slow down and follow a spiral path into the center of the circle. A Saturnian atom would have collapsed.

Ernest Rutherford (Eng.1911)
Atoms have a central positive nucleus surrounded by negative orbiting electrons.
This idea was the result of his famous Gold Foil Experiment(see next slide). This experiment involved the firing of radioactive alpha particles through gold foil.
This model suggested that most of the mass of the atom was contained in the small nucleus, and that the rest of the atom was mostly empty space.
Most of particles passed straight through the foil but approximately 1 in 8000 were deflected.

Alpha scattering due to repulsion from the nucleus

Niels Bohr (Danish 1913)
The Bohr Model is probably familiar to us as the "planetary model" of the atom is used to symbolize atomic energy.
Electrons orbit the nucleus much like planets orbiting the Sun.
However, the orbits are not confined to a plane as is approximately true in the Solar System).

Chadwick (English 1932) James Chadwick discovered a third
type of particle, which he named the Neutron. Neutrons help to reduce the repulsion
between protons and stabilize the atom's nucleus.
Neutrons always reside in the nucleus of atoms and they are about the same mass and size as protons.
Neutrons do not have any electrical charge; they are electrically neutral

Cloud Theory Based on the work of many scientists Based on the mathematical approach of
Quantum Mechanics Electrons are assigned regions of space
(Orbitals) not pathways (Orbits) Electrons are moving around the nucleus
rapidly in no predictable path producing a cloud of e-’s over time. Think of a rapidly moving fan blade.

How to find Protons Number of protons in an
atom is ALWAYS equal to the Atomic Number

Number of Electrons (e-) Atoms – Protons and electrons
are equal
Ions Loss of electron makes positive ions
Gain of electrons makes negative ions

How to calculate Neutrons Atomic Mass (rounded to integer) - Atomic Number ---------------------------------------------------- Number of Neutrons in the nucleus
Atomic Mass – Atomic Number = # Neutrons
![Page 25: History and Progression of Atomic Theory](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081604/568168df550346895ddfd78d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Atom Contents Protons (P+) – always equal to Atomic # Electrons (e-)
Atoms – Same as the # of Protons Ion – Net charge after e-’s have been lost or
gained in an attempt to become stable (HAPPY NUMBERS!) Loss of e-’s = Positive charge Gain of e-’s = Negative charge
Neutrons (N±) = Atomic Mass – Atomic #

Energy Levels Maximum K Shell = 2 e-’s L Shell = 8 e-’s M Shell = 8 e-’s N Shell = 18 e-’s
When you get to Chemistry, you will find that this gets more involved than shown here.
