Democritus

• “It’s all Greek to me!”

• Atomos – smallest indivisible part which still retains its identity

Atomic Theory of Matter

The theory that atoms are the fundamental building blocks of matter reemerged in the early 19th century, championed by John Dalton.

Dalton’s Postulates

Each element is composed of extremely small particles called atoms.

Page 5: Atoms, Molecules, and Ions Chapter 2 Atoms, Molecules, Ions

Dalton’s Postulates

All atoms of a given element are identical to one another in mass and other properties, but the atoms of one element are different from the atoms of all other elements.

Dalton’s Postulates

Atoms of an element are not changed into atoms of a different element by chemical reactions; atoms are neither created nor destroyed in chemical reactions.

Dalton’s Postulates

Compounds are formed when atoms of more than one element combine; a given compound always has the same relative number and kind of atoms.

Law of Constant CompositionJoseph Proust (1754–1826)

• Also known as the law of definite proportions.

• The elemental composition of a pure substance never varies.

Law of Conservation of Mass

The total mass of substances present at the end of a chemical process is the same as the mass of substances present before the process took place.

Antoine Lavoisier

The Electron

• Streams of negatively charged particles were found to emanate from cathode tubes.

• J. J. Thompson is credited with their discovery (1897).

The Electron

Thompson measured the charge/mass ratio of the electron to be 1.76 108 coulombs/g.

Millikan Oil Drop Experiment

Once the charge/mass ratio of the electron was known, determination of either the charge or the mass of an electron would yield the other.

Millikan Oil Drop Experiment

Robert Millikan (University of Chicago) determined the charge on the electron in 1909.

X-rays

X-rays give some electrons a charge.

Millikan’s Experiment

Some drops would hoverFrom the mass of the drop and the charge on the plates, he calculated the mass of an electron

Radioactivity:

• The spontaneous emission of radiation by an atom.

• First observed by Henri Becquerel.

• Also studied by Marie and Pierre Curie.

Radioactivity• Three types of radiation were discovered by

Ernest Rutherford: particles particles rays

Page 22: Atoms, Molecules, and Ions Chapter 2 Atoms, Molecules, Ions

The Atom, circa 1900:

• “Plum pudding” model, put forward by Thompson.

• Positive sphere of matter with negative electrons imbedded in it.

Discovery of the Nucleus

Ernest Rutherford shot particles at a thin sheet of gold foil and observed the pattern of scatter of the particles.

Page 24: Atoms, Molecules, and Ions Chapter 2 Atoms, Molecules, Ions

and Ions

Rutherford’s Experiment

• Used uranium to produce alpha particles.• Aimed alpha particles at gold foil by

drilling hole in lead block.• Since the mass is evenly distributed in

gold atoms alpha particles should go straight through.

• Used gold foil because it could be made atoms thin.

Because

Page 28: Atoms, Molecules, and Ions Chapter 2 Atoms, Molecules, Ions

Because, he thought the mass was evenly distributed in the atom.

What he got

How he explained it

+

• Atom is mostly empty

• Small dense, positive pieceat center.

• Alpha particlesare deflected by

it if they get close enough.

The Nuclear Atom

Since some particles were deflected at large angles, Thompson’s model could not be correct.

Page 33: Atoms, Molecules, and Ions Chapter 2 Atoms, Molecules, Ions

Atoms,Molecules,

and Ions

The Nuclear Atom• Rutherford postulated a very small,

dense nucleus with the electrons around the outside of the atom.

• Most of the volume of the atom is empty space.

Other Subatomic Particles

• Protons were discovered by Rutherford in 1919.

• Neutrons were discovered by James Chadwick in 1932.

Subatomic Particles

• Protons and electrons are the only particles that have a charge.

• Protons and neutrons have essentially the same mass.

• The mass of an electron is so small we ignore it.
