Atomos
• The ancient Greek philosopher Democritus (c. 460 – 370
BC) reasoned that if you cut a lump of matter into smaller
and smaller pieces, you would eventually cut it down to a
particle which could not be subdivided any further. He
called these particles atoms (from the Greek atomos,
“uncuttable”)
• Aristotle (384-322 BC) believed that matter was continuous,
and elaborated the idea that everything was composed for
four elementary substances, assembled in varying
proportions – earth, air, fire, and water, which possessed
four properties – hot, dry, wet, and cold.
• The idea of atoms did not surface again until the 17th and
18th centuries.

Law of Conservation of Mass
• In 1661, Robert Boyle redefined an element as
a substance that cannot be chemically broken
down further.
• Law of Conservation of Mass – Mass is
neither created nor destroyed in chemical
reactions (i.e. the total mass of a system does
not change during a reaction).
Massreactants = Massproducts
#Atomsreactant= #Atomsproduct

Law of Definite Proportions
• Law of Definite Proportions – All samples of a
pure chemical substance, regardless of their
source or how they were prepared, have the same
proportions by mass of their constituent elements.
(Joseph Proust, 1754-1826)
– Calcium carbonate, which is found in coral, marble,
the white cliffs of Dover, seashells, chalk, limestone,
and Coleman tap water, is always 40.04% by mass
calcium, 12.00% carbon, and 47.96% oxygen. (We
now know that this results from the fact that calcium
carbonate is CaCO3.)

The Law of Multiple Proportions
• Law of Multiple Proportions – Elements can
combine in different ways to form different
substances, whose mass ratios are small
whole-number multiples of each other. (John
Dalton, 1804)

Dalton’s Atomic Theory
• John Dalton (1766-1844) explained these observations
in 1808 by proposing the atomic theory:
– Each element consists of tiny indivisible (not quite)
particles called atoms.
– All atoms of the same element have the same mass (not
quite), but atoms of different elements have different
masses.
– Atoms combine in simple, whole-number ratios to form
compounds.
– Atoms of one element cannot change into atoms of another
element (not quite). In a chemical reaction, atoms change
the way they are bound together with other atoms to form a
new substance.

Dalton’s Atomic Theory
• Dalton’s atomic hypothesis had an uphill
struggle – many scientists didn’t like the idea
of using small, invisible entities to explain
phenomena.
• Most (but not all) chemists had accepted the
existence of atoms by the early 20th century;
however, many influential physicists did not
accept the atomic theory until Einstein’s
landmark paper on Brownian motion (1905).

Dalton’s Atomic Theory
• Dalton’s original formulation of atoms as
miniature billiard balls, however, could not
explain how atoms combined to form
compounds, or anything about their internal
structure. The theory was modified greatly
once charge particles coming from inside the
atom were discovered in the late 19th and early
20th century.

The Electron (e-)
• In 1897, J.J. Thomson (1856-1940) discovered that cathode
rays, which are produced by passing an electric current
through two electrodes within a vacuum tube, were
composed of negatively charge particles, which have a very
low mass. These particles were called electrons.
• His experiments showed that electrons were emitted by
many types of metals, so electrons must be present in most
if not all samples of matter.
• Although Thomson was unable to measure the mass of the
electron directly, he was able to determine that the chargeto-mass ration, e/m, was -1.758820x108 C/g. This meant
that the electron was about 2000 times lighter than
hydrogen, and that atoms were not the smallest unit of
matter.

The Mass of the Electron
• In 1909, Robert Millikan (1868-1953) measured
the charge on the electron by observing the
movement of tiny ionized droplets of oil passing
between two electrically charge plates. Knowing
the e/m ratio from Thomson’s work, the mass of
the electron could then be determined:
Charge of an electron:
e = - 1.60218 x 10-19 C
Charge to Mass Ratio:
e/m = -1.758820 x 108 C/g
Mass of an electron:
me = 9.1093897 x 10-28 g

So Where’s the Positive Charge?
• If there is a negatively charged thing somewhere inside an
electrically neutral atom, then there must also be
positively charged portion.
• The model for the atom that Thomson proposed was of a
diffuse, positively charged lump of matter with electrons
embedded in it like “raisins in a plum pudding” (seeds in
a watermelon, blueberries in a muffin, or chocolate chips
in a cookie might be more familiar analogies)
