MODEL
A way scientists explain
something unknown by
relating it to something that
can be seen or understood.
What are some reasons scientists use models?
You have certainly had experience with models
in science in your past. Name one of the
models you have used in science class.
Why is our current understanding of the atom still
considered a model or a theory?
Model of an
atom.
Empedocles (49- 432 BCE) argued that all matter was composed of four
elements: fire, air, water, and earth. The ratio of these four elements
affected the properties of the matter.
Atomic Model Timeline
Democritus
2500 years ago
First idea of an atom
"atomos" (invisible)
Democritus
He suggested that atomos were eternal and could not
be destroyed.
Democritus theorized that atomos were specific to the
material that they made up, meaning that the atomos of
stone were unique to stone and different from the
atomos of other materials, such as fur.
This was a remarkable theory that attempted to explain
the whole physical world in terms of a small number of
ideas.
Alchemy
Middle Ages, 1200-1600
Goal was to change cheap elements into gold
Philosopher’s Stone
The philosophers' stone is a legendary alchemical
substance, said to be capable of turning base metals ,
especially lead , into gold; it was also sometimes believed
to be an elixir of life , useful for rejuvenation and possibly
for achieving immortality .

John Dalton
early 1800’s
“Father of the
Atomic Theory”
John Dalton
School Teacher from England
19th Century (1807)
He combined the idea of elements with the
Greek theory of atoms.
Dalton’s Atomic Theory
All matter is made of atoms
Atoms can’t be created or destroyed
All atoms of one element are the same
Atoms of different elements can combine to form new substances
John
Dalton pictured the atom as a hard sphere with the same
makeup throughout the entire atom.
William Crookes
English Scientist 1870's
Tested Dalton's theory of the atom.
Experimented with an airless glass tube with two metal pieces
hooked to a battery.
Cathode ray tube + CRT
Same type of mechanism found in tv's and computer monitors
Saw a "beam" of something from the negatively charged cathode to the
positively charged anode.
The beam looked like a grennish-yellowish light, but Crookes said it was a
beam of particles.
He couldn't prove it!!! (bummmer!)
J. J. Thomson
1897 English physicist
Worked on Crooke's experiments. Use a magnet next
to the glass tube.
Proved that the beam was not light...Light can not be
bent with a magnet.
The beam bent towards the magnet.....Opposite
charges attract.
Knew that the particles were negatively charged.
HOW?
Named the negatively charged particles ELECTRONS.
"Plum Pudding Model of the Atom"
J J Thomson's model of the atom.

Ernest Rutherford
1906 considered the father of nuclear physics
Won the 1908 Nobel Prize in Chemistry
Wanted to see if Thomson's model of the atom was correct......
Set up an experiment that fired fast moving positively charged
bits of matter (alpha particles) at a thin piece of a metal such as
gold.
Alpha partices come from unstable atoms. They are positively charged, and so they are
repelled by particles of matter which have a positive charge (opposites attract, like repell).
Rutherford hypothesized that the gold film did not contain enough matter to stop the speeding
alpha particle or change its path...........
The unexpected results of the experiment
caused Rutherford to realize that
Thomson's model was incorrect,
and he proposed his own model.
Rutherford's model included a
nucleus in the atom.
The positively charged proton is located in the very small space at the center of an
atom.
Most of the atom is empty space occupied by nearly massless electrons.
Electrically neutral particles, neutrons are also located in the nucleus.
The number of electrons equal
the number of protons in an atom.

The science of atomic radiation, atomic change and nuclear fission was

it in the last six of
those years.
Over 1939-45, most development
focused on the atomic bomb.

From 1945 attention was given to harnessing this energy in a
controlled fashion for naval propulsion and for making
electricity.
Since 1956 the prime focus has been on the technological
evolution of reliable nuclear power plants.
Uranium was discovered in 1789 by Martin Klaproth, a German
chemist, and named after the planet Uranus.

Welcome Mr. Koy!
What
is hydrogen peroxide?
What is the chemical forumla for it?
Hydrogen peroxide is an oxidizer commonly used as a bleach. It is a clear
liquid , slightly more viscous than water, that appears colorless in dilute
solution.
It is used as a disinfectant , antiseptic , oxidizer, and in rocketry as a
propellant. The oxidizing capacity of hydrogen peroxide is so strong that it is
considered a highly reactive oxygen species .
H2O2
Lab: Observing the element OXYGEN Hour ___________ Date __________
Objective: To collect and observe a sample of oxygen.
Materials: Safety glasses, 2 standard test tubes, test tube rack, 3 wood splints,
manganese dioxide (MnO2), distilled water (H2O), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), matches,
graduated cylinder (10 mL), test tube clamp
Procedure:
Use CLEAN, DRY test tubes. With a pencil, mark one tube “w” for water. Mark the
other tube “h” for hydrogen peroxide.
Put 7 mL distilled water in the tube marked “w”. Put 7 mL hydrogen peroxide in the
test tube marked “h”.

5. Use a new wood splint. Light the splint with a match. Let the splint burn 3 seconds,
then blow out the flame. A small area on the splint will continue to glow orange. Move the
glowing splint down into the tube marked “w,” but DO NOT let it touch the liquid. This is
called a splint test. Observe and record below.
6. Add one more splint-full of manganese dioxide to the “h” tube. Put your thumb over
the test tube and shake gently. Repeat the splint test procedure on this tube. Observe
any differences in the glowing splint carefully. Record below.
