John Dalton

(1808) looked at how gases combine chemically; looked at ratios of how elements combine to form compounds (stoichimetry); saw that elements always combined in whole number ratios to form compounds; supported idea of atom; billiard ball model said 1) all matter is made of indestructible atoms, 2) all atoms of an element are identical, 3) atoms of different elements have unique properties, 4)atoms combine to make larger compounds

Ernest Rutherford

(1909) showed that atoms are mostly free space, 1st proof of protons in a nucleus, electrons are outside nucleus in space; played with radioactivity and shot alpha particles at Au (Au Foil Experiment, foil fluorescent screen lights up when alpha particles hit it)

Democritis

(c. 450 BCE) came up with "atomos" (uncuttable); all matter made of small particles that were indivisible

john dalton

1802

John Dalton

1808 - gathered evidence favoring Democritus' theory. Proposed an Atomic Theory. 1) Every element is made of tiny, unique particles called atoms that cannot that cannot be subdivided. 2) Atoms of the same element are exactly alike. 3) Atoms of different elements can join to form molecules.

1808-1810

j.j. thomson

1897

JJ Thompson

1897 - Discovered 1st component of atom (the electron) through his cathode ray experiment. His model "the plum pudding model" saw an atom as a ball of positively charged stuff with electrons scattered throughout.

albert einstein

1905

robert millikan

1909-1911

ernest rutherford

1910

Ernest Rutherford

1912 - Discovered through his gold foil experiment that the atom was mostly empty space. Positive charge is in center of atom (nucleus). Electrons circle nucleus like planetary obits.

niels bohr

1913

Niels Bohr

1913 - His model has a nucleus, but the electrons have certain energy levels which determine their path around the nucleus. Electrons cannot be found in between energy levels.

james chadwick

1932

James Chadwick

1932 - Discovered the neutron.

Democritus

400 BC - All matter is composed of tiny, invisible, and indivisible particles in motion. He called these particles atoms.

democritus

5th century BC

Neutron

A particle with no charge found in the nucleus

Atom

Basic unit of matter

Nucleus

Center of an atom that contains both protons and neutrons

J.J. Thomson

Discovered negatively charge particle called electrons; Describe the atom as blueberry muffin, chocolate chips in a cookie where the blueberries and chips were the electrons.

Niels Bohr

Discovered that electrons move around the nucleus in orbitals

Proton

Found in the nucleus of an atom and has a positive charge

Ernest Rutherford

Found that atom had a densely packed, POSITIVELY, charged center in the atom, called the NUCLEUS;

Gave us the word "atom"

Bohr

My model of the atom arranged electrons in definite paths associated with energy levels around the nucleus.

Bohr

My model of the atom described how electron jump between levels by absorbing energy or emitting photons of light at a particular wavelength.

Thomson

My model of the atom described the atom as a sphere of positive electrical charge in which electrons are embedded.

Dalton

My model of the atom made the first attempt to explain the properties of matter due to differences in atoms.

Bohr

My model of the atom only explained the arrangement of electrons in hydrogen atoms.

Dalton

My model of the atom stated that atoms are indivisible and alike for each element, but different for different elements.

Dalton

My model of the atom stated that compounds consist of atoms of different elements.

Bohr

My model of the atom stated that the electrons move in circular orbits around the nucleus.

Rutherford

My model of the atom stated that the nucleus contained protons.

Dalton

My model of the atom was the first to state that elements are composed of atoms.

Electron

Negatively charged particles that orbit the nucleus

Atomic Mass

The number of protons AND neutrons

Atomic Number

The number of protons in an atom

Plum pudding model

Thompson; atoms are blobs of positive charge studded with electrons

j.j. thomson

an english physicist who worked with cathode ray tubes (CRTs) and was credited with the discovery of the electron.

niels bohr

attempted to explain the position of electrons.

Billiard Ball Model

by John Dalton; round atoms with no distinguishing characteristics

j.j. thomson

came up with the plum-pudding model, or the raisin bun model, which consisted of electrons and positively-charged "goo."

ernest rutherford

created an atomic model that consisted of electrons, empty space, and a nucleus made of positively-charged protons.

niels bohr

created an atomic model that only worked with the element hydrogen.

John Dalton

described the atom as a solid sphere

john dalton

developed the theory of the atom, which was a revival of democritus' "smallest piece of matter."

j.j. thomson

discovered that there were mysterious negatively-charged particles that came from the cathode end that were being deflected by magnetic and electric fields. they were very small and had a negative charge and came to be called electrons and were assumed to be a part of all matter.

niels bohr

experimented with the wavelengths of light given off by excited hydrogen atoms.

Chadwick

found neutrons

john dalton

known as the father of modern chemistry who was also an english school teacher who began teaching math and chemistry at the age of twelve.

james chadwick

proved the existence of the neutron

Niels Bohr

said electrons are in orbits with energy levels around the nucleus (however this only works with H); Planetary Model; played with gas discharge model

aristotle

said matter is infinitely divisible, and that no matter how small a piece is, it can always be divided into smaller pieces.

john dalton's atomic model

said that all matter is made up of tiny, indivisible, and indestructible particles called atoms, atoms of the same element are identical, atoms of different elements differ in soe fundamental way, and that atoms combine in simple, whole number ratios to form compounds.

democritus

said that there exists a "smallest piece of matter," which cannot be divided any further. called them atoms.

J.J. Thompson

showed existence of electrons; played with Cathode Ray Tubes (vacuum tubes filled with a gas); applied electric field and saw a stream of particles (electrons) move towards positive end; plum pudding model
