History of the Atom

Democritus of Abdera Democritus: BCE Greek mathematician and philosopher Co-author (with Leucippus) of the idea that all matter is made of small, indivisible particles called atoma Proposed that the behavior of substances were due to the type of atom

Alchemists Great many 'experiments' to try to convert one element to another Many discoveries, but very secretive

Robert Boyle Robert Boyle: Performed experiments with controls and published detailed results 1661: Published claiming that Aristotle's ideas were incorrect, and that some 'elements' (like mercury) did not contain the 4 Aristotlean elements (earth, air, fire, water)

Antoine Lavoisier Lavoisier: Experimented and established the Law of Conservation of Mass Investigated combustion and cellular respiration in terms of energy and mass

Charles de Coulomb Coulomb Developed Coulomb's Law, the definition of electrostatic force

Joseph Proust Proust: Controversy with another scientist (Berthollet) led him to discovery of the Law of Definite Proportions (sometimes called Proust's Law) A chemical compound always contains the same proportion of elements by mass There are exceptions, which are called non- stoichiometric (or Berthollide) compounds

John Dalton Dalton: Law of Multiple Proportions (1803): elements combine in mass ratios of small whole numbers. Elements may combine with the same element in different proportions to make a different compound. Atomic theory contains 4 hypotheses

Atomic Theory 1. Elements are made of small particles called atoms. (Dalton viewed atoms as small spheres of differing characteristics.) 2.All atoms of an element are identical. All atoms of one element are different from atoms of other elements. 3.Compounds are made of atoms of more than one element. The ratio of the elements is a simple fraction. 4.A chemical reaction involves separation, combination or rearrangement of atoms.

James Clerk Maxwell Showed that electricity and magnetism were related, and were related to atoms Predicted that accelerating charges would make waves (electromagnetic radiation)

Cathode Ray Tube Experiments Glass tube with wire at each end; as much air pumped out as possible Charge passed across tube makes fluorescent glow William Crookes  Tube coated with fluorescent material can be made to glow in one focused dot  Rays travel in straight lines Ray carries negative charge

Joseph John Thomson Used a study of the cathode ray tube to determine the presence of electrons 1897 Suggested the plum pudding model of the atom and the existance of isotopes Won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1906

J. J. Thomson’s 4 Experiments Used magnetic field to show cathode rays had negative charge Used electric charge to show cathode rays were particles with negative charge Used varying electric currents to determine charge to mass ratio  Either particles very small or  Carried huge charge  Evidence suggested particles very small and came from atom

Robert A. Millikan Used the 'falling drop method' to determine the charge of the electron ( x C) and mass of electron as 9.10 x g Investigated photoelectric effect and spectroscopy of elements Won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1923

Wilhelm Röntgen Rays produced by cathode ray tube interaction with other matter could pass through objects, affect photographic plates and cause some materials to fluoresce (X-rays) Nobel Prize in Physics in 1901

Antoine Henri Becquerel Investigated possible link between X-rays and natural phosphorescence Discovered that the rays emitted by uranium were different from X-rays Nobel Prize in Physics 1903 (shared with Pierre and Marie Curie)

Marie Curie Worked with huband Pierre to study radioactivity Isolated elements polonium and radium Shared Nobel Prize in Physics 1903, won Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1911 for work with radioactive elements.

Ernest Rutherford Investigated release and measurement of different forms of radiation from elements (α, β, γ)‏ Gold foil experiment with Geiger and Marsden led to new model of an atom with dense central nucleus and vast empty areas Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1938

Model of the atom in the early 1900s Nucleus: has positive charge, very small, but very dense Proton: same charge as electron, but opposite. Mass= x g Vast empty space around nucleus contains electrons

James Chadwick Discovered the neutron and worked on fission of atoms Discovery of neutron (mass= x g) explained the mass problem of many atoms Nobel Prize in Physics 1935

Mass and Atomic Number Each element's atoms have a specific number of protons in the nucleus (Z=atomic number)‏ For a neutral atom, the number of protons is equal to the number of protons The mass number (A) is the number of protons plus the number of neutrons (the number of particles in the nucleus). Some atoms of the same element have different A values. This means they have different numbers of neutrons. They are called isotopes.

Isotope notation Isotope notation is used to represent an isotope. Z, A and symbol of element are represented. Isotope notation can be used to determine the number of protons, neutrons and electrons in an isotope.
