1. How did the atomic theory develop and change into the modern model of the atom?

2. Here come the atoms! video

3. Science Standard 8.3.a: Students know the structure of the atom and know it is composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Science Standard 8.7.b: Students know each element has a specific number of protons in the nucleus (the atomic number) and each isotope of the element has a different but specific number of neutrons in the nucleus.

4. atom: smallest particle of an element. electron: negatively charged particles in an atom. nucleus: the central core of an atom proton: positively charged particles in an atom’s nucleus. energy level: the specific amount of energy an electron has.

5. neutron: small particle in the nucleus of an atom with no electrical charge atomic number: the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. isotope: atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons. mass number: the sum of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.

6. Development of Atomic Theory Atomic theory has changed many times over the years. As more evidence was collected, the theory and models were revised. Around 430 B.C., a Greek philosopher, Democritus, Idea= matter is formed of small pieces that could not be cut into smaller parts. atomos which means “uncuttable”

7. Dalton’s Atomic Theory thought that atoms were like smooth, hard balls that could not be broken into smaller pieces.

8. Dalton’s Atomic Theory 1. All elements are composed of atoms that cannot be divided. exactly alike 2. All atoms of the same element are exactly alike and have the same mass. Atoms of different elements are different and have different masses. rearranged 3. An atom of one element cannot be changed into an atom of a different element. Atoms cannot be created or destroyed in any chemical change, only rearranged. compound 4. Every compound is composed of atoms of different elements, combined in a specific ratio.

9. Thomson’s Atomic Theory In 1897, English scientist J.J. Thompson found that atoms contain negatively charged particles. The negatively charged particles later became known as electrons. Thomson suggested that atoms had negatively charged electrons embedded in a positive sphere.

10. Rutherford’s Atomic Theory In 1911, Ernest Rutherford found evidence that countered Thompson’s model. His team discovered the positive charge (proton) + in an atom is clustered in the center (nucleus). According to Rutherford’s model, an atom was mostly empty space.

11. Bohr’s Atomic Theory In 1913, Niels Bohr, a Danish scientist, suggested that electrons move in specific orbits around the nucleus of an atom.

12. Cloud Model In the 1920’s, scientists determined that electrons do not orbit the nucleus like planets, but rather could be anywhere in a cloudlike region. (SO WAS BOHR RIGHT?) An electron’s movement is related to its energy level, or the specific amount of energy it has. Electrons of different energy levels are likely to be found in different places.

13. Democritus Atoms= small and uncuttable Dalton Small hard balls 4 rules of elements /atoms Thomas Electrons (-) Rutherford Protons Nucleus Mainly empty space Bohr Electrons move in orbits Cloud Model Electrons are in cloud like formation Electrons have different energy levels

14. The Modern Atomic Model In 1932, English scientist James Chadwick discovered another particle, the neutron, in the nucleus of atoms.

15. The Modern Atomic Model At the center of the atom is a tiny, massive nucleus containing protons and neutrons. Surrounding the nucleus is a cloudlike region of moving electrons. The particle was difficult to detect because it has no charge.

16. Particles in an Atom An atom is composed of positively charged protons, neutral neutrons, and negatively charged electrons. Protons and neutrons are about equal in mass. An electron has about 1/2,000 the mass of a proton or neutron.

17. Isotopes Atoms of all isotopes of carbon contain six protons and six electrons, but they differ in their number of neutrons. Carbon-12 is the most common isotope.

18. What is located in a cloudlike region surrounding the nucleus in the modern atomic model? electrons According to Dalton, all elements are composed of atoms that cannot be ___. divided
