Presentation transcript:

Beginning Man has always wanted to know, to understand how nature works. It is in his nature to ask questions and then to seek the answers. One such question is “What is the nature of matter that makes up the physical universe?”

Start of the Quest for Answers Democritus – a Greek natural philosopher In 400 B.C. he did a mind experiment in an attempt to explain the nature of matter. His question was “If I take an object and repeatedly cut it in half, will there be a point that it cannot be cut any smaller?”

His Answer YES! He decided there was such a point. He called that final particle “an atom”.

Democritus’s Atomic Theory 1. All matter consists of invisible particles called atoms (from the Greek “Atomos” for indivisible). 2. Atoms are indestructible. 3. Atoms are solid but invisible. 4. Atoms are homogenous. 5. Atoms differ in size, shape, mass, position, and arrangement.

Democritus’s Atomic Theory The nature of those particles gave rise to the different states of matter: ->Solids are made of small, pointy atoms (gives solids rigidity) ->Liquids are made of large, round atoms (allowed the atoms to flow over each other). ->Oils are made of very fine, small atoms that can easily slip past each other (the reason oils felt slippery).

John Dalton Agreed with Democritus concerning the structure of the atom (solid and indivisible)

John Dalton Brought Democritus’s Atomic Theory into the realm of scientific knowledge, instead of being relegated to the whims of the human mind. Presented his theory to the world in 1803.

John Dalton’s Theory 1.All matter is made up of atoms 2.All atoms of the same element are identical. All atoms of different elements are different 3.Atoms can not be created nor destroyed only rearranged. (law of conservation of matter) 4.Atoms combine in fixed ratios to form compounds. (law of definite proportions) 5.Atoms combine in different ratios to form different compounds. (law of multiple proportions)

J.J. Thomson Discovered the existence of what he called electrons (negatively charged particles). Described the atom as being like “plum pudding”. The electrons were simply stuck on the outside of the solid sphere that is the atom.

J.J. Thomson’s Experiment Using a cathode ray tube, he projected a beam of particles through a magnetic field and observed how they were deflected.

J.J. Thomson His discovery was announced in With that announcement, one more piece was added to the puzzle of the nature of matter.

Still More to Find With Thomson’s discovery, it was realized there were more to an atom than was first thought. If electrons had a negative charge, why are atoms electrically neutral?

The Quest Continues Ernest Rutherford – Was not satisfied with the current theory of the atom. He projected a beam of alpha particles at a thin sheet of gold to probe the inner structure of the atom. His results were announced in 1911.

Ernest Rutherford Based on his results, Rutherford announced the atom was mostly empty space with a dense positively charged central core.

Niels Bohr In 1913, Niels Bohr proposed an atom was like a tiny solar system (the nucleus was like the sun and the electrons like the planets).

Niels Bohr Electrons travel in discrete orbits defined by their angular momentum. This made it possible to calculate the energy levels of electrons and the frequency of the light emitted when electrons returned to the home state.

Erwin Schrödinger Developed mathematical equations that describe the motions of electrons. This led to the development of the idea of an electron cloud instead of a strict orbit.

Erwin Schrödinger His work was announced in 1926.

James Chadwick Along with other scientists, Chadwick realized the atomic mass of an element, was often twice what it should be. This led to Chadwick conducting an experiment that proved the existence of neutrons.

James Chadwick In 1932, he proved the existence of the neutron, a particle having the same mass as a proton and no charge.

Current Theory The current atomic theory is closely aligned with that of Erwin Schrödinger. The orbits of electrons are seen more as an area of high probability to find an electron rather than as a discrete orbit.

Recap Our view of the structure of the atom has changed over time as our ability to examine it has improved.

The End? We are near the limit of technology to reveal the secrets of the universe. Does that mean we know all that is knowable about the structure of the atom? NO! In many ways, the journey is just beginning.
