  1. Atomic Structure Building blocks of matter

  2. Early Model of the Atom • Democritus- Greek Philosopher. Ideas based on observation alone. He thought atoms were tiny, indivisible, unchanging particles. He pictured them as a hard sphere. • John Dalton(1766-1844) English school teacher. He worked with organic compounds. • All elements are composed of atoms. • Atoms of the same element are identical.

  3. More Dalton • Atoms combine in whole number ratios. • In chemical reaction, atoms separate, join, or rearrange. • Atoms are very small, but have been observed using microscopes.

  4. Structure of an atom • Subatomic particles- three particles make up the atom • Electron- (e) negative in charge, smallest of the particles, found in the electron cloud/shell • History- • JJ Thompson- worked with cathode ray tubes. Passed electricity through a gas. The gas glowed. Thompson called the particles in gas electrons, because it conducted electricity

  5. More electron • Thompson then started using magnets. The positive pole attracted the beam of gas, the negative pole repulsed it. He knew opposites attract and predicted that the electron was negatively charged. • Crookes verified Thompson’s experiments • Millikan- Proved that electrons have mass.

  6. Subatomic particles in nucleus • Proton- positive charge • Neutron- neutral or no charge • About the same size and mass • History- • Rutherford- Performed the “gold Foil” experiment. He shot alpha particles at gold foil. Alpha particles are positively charged. He expected them to go straight through the foil.

  7. Protons and Neutrons • Instead they scattered and some bounced back. He concluded that there had to be a positive particle found in the center of the atom. • Chadwick- discovered the neutron

  8. Models of the atom • Dalton’s

  9. Thompson “plum pudding” model

  10. Rutherford “solar system”
