Atomic Theory
Thomson Model of the Atom
J. J. Thomson - English physicist. 1897
Made a piece of equipment called a cathode
ray tube.
It is a vacuum tube - all the air has been
pumped out.

Thomson Model
Plum-pudding
model
In the nineteenth century, Thomson
described the atom as a ball of positive
charge containing a number of electrons.
J.J. Thomson
• He proved that atoms of
any element can be
made to emit tiny
negative particles.
• From this he concluded
that ALL atoms must
contain these negative
particles.
• He knew that atoms did
not have a net negative
charge and so there must
be balancing the negative
charge.

Ernest Rutherford (1871-1937)
• Learned physics in
J.J. Thomson’ lab.
• Noticed that ‘alpha’
particles were
sometime deflected
by something in the
air.
• Gold-foil experiment

Rutherford Model
In the early twentieth century, Rutherford
showed that most of an atom’s mass is
concentrated in a small, positively charged
region called the nucleus.
Niels Bohr
• In the Bohr Model (1913)
the neutrons and protons
occupy a dense central
region called the nucleus,
and the electrons orbit
the nucleus much like
planets orbiting the Sun.
• They are not confined to
a planar orbit like the
planets are.
Bohr Model
Planetary
model
After Rutherford’s discovery, Bohr
proposed that electrons travel in definite
orbits around the nucleus.
Quantum Mechanical Model
Niels Bohr &
Albert Einstein
Modern atomic theory describes the
electronic structure of the atom as the
probability of finding electrons within certain
regions of space (orbitals).
