Your Atomic Theory
Based on the information presented on the first 18 elements, come up with your own "atomic theory" by answer the following questions.
a. What makes up an atom?
b. What does an oxygen atom look like?

Dalton's Spheres
Modern atomic theory began to take shape in the early 1800s.
John Dalton reconsidered the ancient idea that each different kind of element is composed of a different kind of atom.

Dalton's Spheres
He imagined that all atoms were like small spheres with different properties.
He assumed they might vary in size, mass or colour.

Dalton's Spheres
Dalton's Theory
1. All matter is made of small, indivisible particles called atoms.
2. All atoms of an element are identical in properties such as size and mass.
3. Atoms of different elements have different properties.
4. Atoms of different elements can combine in specific ways to form new substances.

Dalton's Spheres
Dalton also devised a series of element symbols to represent the atoms of different elements.

Thomson's Electrons
J.J. Thomson, an English physicist, researched the idea that atoms might be made from a combination of particles.
He experimented with electric currents in glass tubes called cathode ray tubes.

Thomson's Electrons
He was able to cause non­radioactive atoms to produce streams of negatively charged particles.

Thomson's Electrons
Because all of the elements Thomson tested produced electrons, he reasoned that the atoms of all elements contain electrons.
Thomson proposed a new model for atoms in 1897 in which each atom was composed of smaller particles.

Thomson's Electrons
Because Thomson had detected negatively charged particles, he reasoned that because atoms have no overall charge, they must also contain positive charges.
Thomson imagined the atom as a positive sphere with negative electrons scattered throughout it.

Rutherford's Nuclei
Ernest Rutherford tested Thomson's model by shooting positively charged particles at a thin gold foil.

Rutherford's Nuclei
In the experiment, most of the high­speed positive particles went through the foil, but about 1 in 10 000 bounced back as if deflected by something very massive and positively charged.

Rutherford's Nuclei
He had discovered the nucleus, the centre of the atom!
This tiny positively charged part of the atom also contains most of the atom's mass.

Rutherford's Nuclei
Rutherford revised the model and predicted that all atoms contained a nucleus.
His model resembled Thomson's but all of the atom's positive charge was concentrated at a tiny point in the centre.

Rutherford's Nuclei
James Chadwick (Rutherford's student), refined the concept of the nucleus.
He discovered that the nucleus contains neutral particles called neutrons as well as protons.
These neutrons are similar in size to protons but carry no charge.

Bohr's Energy Levels
Niels Bohr transformed Rutherford's model into the model we use today.
Below are two "Bohr Diagrams" showing a simplified version of Bohr's model.

Bohr's Energy Levels
Bohr suggested that electrons surround the nucleus in specific energy levels, called shells.
He discovered that electrons jump between these shells by gaining or losing energy, and that each shell can contain a limited number of electrons.
The first three shells are known to be able to hold two, eight and eight electrons.

The Quantum Mechanical Model
The most advanced, and accurate, model of the atom describes electrons as not existing as tiny points inside an atom.
Instead, electrons exist in energy levels and surround the positively charged nucleus in a form resembling a cloud.
