Development of the ATOMIC THEORY Early Studies of Matter The Greeks – more than 2000 years ago – Four Elemental Substances: Fire, Earth, Wind, and Water Democritus – 460 BC Proposed that all matter is made up of indivisible particles that he called Aristotle disagreed…so Democritus’ theory remain dormant until Dalton. Democritus vs. Aristotle source source Robert Boyle - 1661 Proposed that matter is composed of simple substances called elements that cannot be further decomposed or broken down. Antoine Lavoiser - 1772 Importance of First stated Conservation of Mass H2 (g) + O2 (g) H2O (l) 20 g + 160 g 180 g Mass is neither created nor destroyed! J. Proust – 1799 In a pure compound, the elements combine in definite proportions to each other. Law of Definite Proportions decomposes H2O (l) 450 g 90 g H2 (g) + O2 (g) 50 g + 400 g 10 g + 80 g When water decomposes the ratio of the mass of O2 to H2 is always 8:1 Law of Multiple Proportions Two elements can combine to form more than one compound C + O CO 1.00 g + 1.33 g 2.33 g ` C + O +O CO2 1.00 g + 2.66 g 3.66 g Ratio of the masses always a whole number! John Dalton & Atomic Theory 1803 source source Dalton’s Atomic Theory Matter is composed of very small particles called atoms. Atoms are indivisible and cannot be created or destroyed.* All atoms of a given element are identical.* Atoms of different elements are different. Different atoms combine in whole number ratios to form compounds. In chemical reactions, atoms are combined, separated or rearranged. Dalton’s Model of the Atom Solid, indivisible sphere Analogy: BILLARD BALL So Dalton’s atoms are kind of like billiard balls. Atoms combine in whole-number ratios. In a reaction, atoms are rearranged. + + + So how big is an atom? Most atoms are 1-2 angstroms across. – An angstrom = 1 X 10-10 m. 6 Billion Copper atoms in a line less than 1 meter!
