Mr Nelson

Democritus The Greek philosopher

Democritus 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

Page 3: The History of Atomic Theory Mr Nelson. Democritus The Greek philosopher Democritus began the search for a description of matter more than 2400 years

Atomos

This piece would be indivisible.

He named the smallest piece of matter “atomos,” meaning “not to be cut.”

Why?

The eminent philosophers of the time, Aristotle and Plato, had a more respected, theory.

Aristotle and Plato favored the earth, fire, air and water approach to the nature of matter.

Page 5: The History of Atomic Theory Mr Nelson. Democritus The Greek philosopher Democritus began the search for a description of matter more than 2400 years

Dalton’s Model

In the early 1800s, the English Chemist John Dalton performed a number of experiments that eventually led to the acceptance of the idea of atoms.

Page 6: The History of Atomic Theory Mr Nelson. Democritus The Greek philosopher Democritus began the search for a description of matter more than 2400 years

Dalton’s Model

1803

Dalton’s Model was that atoms are indivisible particles.

Page 7: The History of Atomic Theory Mr Nelson. Democritus The Greek philosopher Democritus began the search for a description of matter more than 2400 years

Dalton’s Theory

He deduced that all elements are composed of atoms.

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.

J. J. Thomson

In 1897, the English scientist J.J. Thomson provided the first hint that an atom is made of even smaller particles.

Page 9: The History of Atomic Theory Mr Nelson. Democritus The Greek philosopher Democritus began the search for a description of matter more than 2400 years

Thomson Model Thomson studied

the passage of an electric current through a gas. Using a CRT.

As the current passed through the gas, it gave off rays of negatively charged particles.

Page 10: The History of Atomic Theory Mr Nelson. Democritus The Greek philosopher Democritus began the search for a description of matter more than 2400 years

Thomson Model

the atoms of the gas were uncharged.

Where had the negative charges come from?

Where did they come from?

Page 11: The History of Atomic Theory Mr Nelson. Democritus The Greek philosopher Democritus began the search for a description of matter more than 2400 years

Thomson

Thomson concluded that the negative charges came from within the atom.

Thomson called the negatively charged “corpuscles,” today known as electrons.

Since the gas was known to be neutral, he reasoned that there must be positively charged particles in the atom.

But he could never find them.

Page 12: The History of Atomic Theory Mr Nelson. Democritus The Greek philosopher Democritus began the search for a description of matter more than 2400 years

Thomson Model

“Plum Pudding” model.

Atoms were made from a positively charged substance with negatively charged electrons scattered around

Rutherford’s Gold Foil Experiment

In 1908

English physicist Ernest Rutherford, began work on his gold foil experiment.

Page 14: The History of Atomic Theory Mr Nelson. Democritus The Greek philosopher Democritus began the search for a description of matter more than 2400 years

Rutherford’s Hypothesis

Rutherford was trying to verify Thomson’s model.

He expected positively charged alpha particles to go straight through a piece of very thin gold.

Page 15: The History of Atomic Theory Mr Nelson. Democritus The Greek philosopher Democritus began the search for a description of matter more than 2400 years

What Happened

Most alpha particles passed straight through the gold foil

A small percentage (1/8000) were deflected at large angles or returned to the source

Rutherford’s Experiment There are 2 reasons

alpha particles deflected

Density of the nucleus

Repelling charges

Page 18: The History of Atomic Theory Mr Nelson. Democritus The Greek philosopher Democritus began the search for a description of matter more than 2400 years

Rutherford’s Conclusion

An atom has a small, dense, positively charged center that repelled the

positively charged alpha particles.

Named the center of the atom the “nucleus”

The nucleus is tiny compared to the atom as a whole.

This could only mean that the gold atoms in the sheet were mostly open space.

Page 19: The History of Atomic Theory Mr Nelson. Democritus The Greek philosopher Democritus began the search for a description of matter more than 2400 years

Rutherford’s Nuclear Model Rutherford reasoned that all of an atom’s positively charged

particles were contained in the nucleus. The negatively charged particles were scattered outside the nucleus around the atom’s edge.

Neils Bohr

Was a Jewish Scientist in Copenhagen during the onset of WWII

Hitler was interested in his research of the atom.

He was moved to the US to protect his knowledge.

Page 21: The History of Atomic Theory Mr Nelson. Democritus The Greek philosopher Democritus began the search for a description of matter more than 2400 years

Bohr’s Explanation

Bohr thought that an electron travelled in a specific orbit at a certain distance from the nucleus called an energy level and had specific amounts of energy.

Worked well for Hydrogen and Helium
