“Atomic Timeline” Development of the Atomic Theory Democtritus • Greek • First coined the term “Atom” which means invisible and indivisible. • Came up with the theory while trying to starve himself to death. • Aristotle had opposing theory which was believed for 2000 years Boyle & Newton Robert Boyle • Began ‘experimental chemistry’ • Studied gases • Worked with Newton to bring alchemy out of the “dark ages” . Eventually became Chemistry. Isaac Newton • Isaac Newton was one of the first people to propose a “mechanical universe.” He believed that the universe is made up of small solid masses that are constantly in motion. This idea is known as “The Mechanical Universe” idea. • Wrote article “Skeptycal Chemyst” John Dalton • John Dalton formulated the Atomic Theory which states that: atoms of an element are different than atoms of other elements; atoms of one element are the same; that atoms of different elements can be combined; that atoms cannot be divided or separated; and that elements are made of tiny particles called atoms. • Used actual experimental work from Antoine Lavoisier (Law of conservation of Mass) and Joseph Proust (Law of Definite Proportions) to support his theory. JJ Thomson • Experimented with Cathode rays. • Based on the work that he did, he discovered electrons, the first subatomic particle • He also developed a model of the atom called the “plum pudding” model. •Because of Thomson’s work, Dalton’s theory was adjusted. Rutherford • Student of Thomson. • Designed gold Foil Experiment to prove Thomson’s model. • His experiment disproved Thomson and he proposed his own theory, the nuclear model of the atom. Modern Atomic Structure • Scientists now know that there are three major subatomic particles: protons, neutrons and electrons. Particle proton neutron electron Location Mass nucleus 1 amu nucleus 1 amu orbit nucleus 1/2000 (in the amu electron cloud) Charge + none - How does this relate to the PTE? • You can use the periodic table of elements (PTE) to figure out how many protons, neutrons and electrons are in any atom on the table. Atomic mass (A) = p + n in the nucleus Atomic number (Z) = number of protons in the nucleus Au 197 79 Neutrons can be found by subtracting the atomic mass from the atomic number: N=A-Z Atoms, Ions and Isotopes • The number of protons in an atom NEVER changes. This is how you identify an element. If the number of protons are changed, you have a whole new element. Atoms are electrically neutral (protons = electrons). • If an atom is heavier/lighter than expected (greater or lower atomic mass than on the PTE), neutrons have been added or lost. This is now an isotope. • If an atom becomes charged, it has lost (+) or gained (-) electrons. It is now an ion.
