PPT-TOPIC: Atomic Theory – how the model of the atom has evolved and the scientists responsible

The Complete Modern Atom An atom is mostly empty space nucleus has most of mass of an atom Atom is divisible Protons 1 charge Neutrons no charge Electrons 1 charge nucleus contains protons amp neutrons. At the end of this lesson, you need to draw . a diagram for each model showing the evolution of atomic theory:. ". Plum-Pudding" Model. Rutherford . Atom. Rutherford-Bohr . Atom. Charge-Cloud . Model. Democritus. This is the Greek philosopher Democritus who began the search . for a description of matter more than 2400 years ago. He asked:. Could matter be divided into smaller and smaller pieces . A Look Into the Ultimate. ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS:. Why was an image of individual atoms considered such an important breakthrough?. How scientists discovered the component particles within atoms?. How can we possibly know anything about atomic structures?. Who first thought of the atom?. Democritus. Leucippus. Democritus and Leucippus. ~440 BC. They were the first philosophers that believed that atoms existed.. They thought that you could cut something in half , over and over, until you eventually get to a particle so small that it can no longer be cut In half.. Chemistry. Videos . Atomic Theory: Dalton, Democritus, Thomson, Rutherford, and Quantum. History of the . atom. . History of the atom Video #2. The Development of the Atomic Theory. J.J. Thomson . Contribution. The atom: from philosophy to scientific theory . 400 BC . – . Democritus. came up with the idea of the . ________. Nature’s . basic particle. ______________. His ideas were not useful in explaining chemical behavior because . Science is based off of observations.. A Scientific Law is a summary of what is seen in observations. . A Scientific Theory is an explanation of why these observations are occurring.. Both laws and theories are tested by using them to predict what would happen in certain situations.. Chapter 3. Types of Models – Why do we use models?. Physical Model vs. Conceptual Model. Physical model. is a representation of a very large or small object shown at a convenient scale. . What is Today’s Model?. Dense, Positively Charged Nucleus. Mostly. Empty. Space. Negatively Charged. Electron Cloud. Most Probable Location of the Electrons. Composed of Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons. Jennie L. Borders. Warm-Up Feb. 24. What did Rutherford discover?. What charge does a neutron have?. How many electrons can the first energy level hold?. Section 4.1 – Studying Atoms. Democritus. believed that all matter consisted of extremely . Atoms are the fundamental blocks of matter…. Chapter Big Idea. Section 1: Early Ideas About Matter. What are the similarities and differences of the atomic models of Democritus, Aristotle, and Dalton?. Science is based off of observations.. A Scientific Law is a summary of what is seen in observations. . A Scientific Theory is an explanation of why these observations are occurring.. Both laws and theories are tested by using them to predict what would happen in certain situations.. Our view of the atom has changed over time. 2. Aristotle . (460 B.C. – 370 B.C.). emphasized that nature consisted of four elements: air, earth, fire, and water. did not believe in discontinuous or separate atoms, but felt that matter was continuous. Rutherford proposed that most of the mass of the atom was concentrated. . at the atom’s center. . Rutherford’s Model of the Atom. Rutherford’s experiment suggested that an atom’s positive charge is concentrated in the center of the atom .
