School of thought that matter is School of thought that matter is made up of tiny indivisible, invisible, made up of tiny indivisible, invisible, indestructible, fundamental units of indestructible, fundamental units of matter called atoms (means “that matter called atoms (means “that which cannot be divided”)which cannot be divided”)Democritus of Abdera most well Democritus of Abdera most well known atomist. known atomist.

Dalton’s Atomic Dalton’s Atomic TheoryTheory1.1. All matter is made of invisible and All matter is made of invisible and
indestructible particles (atoms)indestructible particles (atoms)2.2. Atoms of same element are identicalAtoms of same element are identical3.3. Atoms of different elements differ in physical Atoms of different elements differ in physical
and chemical propertiesand chemical properties4.4. Atoms of different elements combine in simple Atoms of different elements combine in simple
whole number ratios to form compoundswhole number ratios to form compounds5.5. Chemical Reactions occur when atoms Chemical Reactions occur when atoms
separate, join or rearrange. Atoms of one separate, join or rearrange. Atoms of one element NEVER change into atoms of another element NEVER change into atoms of another element.element.
Problems with Dalton’s Problems with Dalton’s ModelModel
Atoms are destructible (protons, Atoms are destructible (protons, electrons, neutrons)electrons, neutrons)Atoms of the same element are not Atoms of the same element are not completely completely identical, isotopes existidentical, isotopes existAtoms of the same element combine Atoms of the same element combine with each other (Owith each other (O22))
Atoms can “turn into” other elements Atoms can “turn into” other elements through nuclear decay through nuclear decay
1897 1897 Sir J.J.ThomsonSir J.J.Thomson
British physicistBritish physicistTheory: Theory: cathode ray cathode ray is a stream of is a stream of negatively charged negatively charged particlesparticlesExperiment: Experiment:

ExperimentExperimentCathode ray: a tube filled with gas that Cathode ray: a tube filled with gas that would glow when an electric current was would glow when an electric current was passed through tube (like a neon sign)passed through tube (like a neon sign)
Thomson held the “+” pole of magnet next Thomson held the “+” pole of magnet next to tube, and the light bent towards magnetto tube, and the light bent towards magnet
Therefore he Therefore he concluded that there must be concluded that there must be some negative charge in atom!! some negative charge in atom!! (discovered electron)(discovered electron)
Also hypothesized that there must be some Also hypothesized that there must be some positive charge in atom (positive charge in atom (as atoms are as atoms are neutral)neutral)

Rutherford's Gold Foil Rutherford's Gold Foil ExperimentExperiment
Fired small radioactive particles (basically a Fired small radioactive particles (basically a helium nucleus) at a piece of gold foilhelium nucleus) at a piece of gold foil
Expected that most of these particles would Expected that most of these particles would pass right through the gold foil, deflecting pass right through the gold foil, deflecting only a little bitonly a little bit

Niels BohrNiels BohrDanish PhysicistDanish Physicist
Proposed his model in 1915 (this is the one Proposed his model in 1915 (this is the one most of you know)most of you know)
He coined the term, “Planetary Model” of atomHe coined the term, “Planetary Model” of atomElectrons orbit the nucleus of atom like planets Electrons orbit the nucleus of atom like planets around the sunaround the sunDifferent orbits exist, each having a specified Different orbits exist, each having a specified level of energylevel of energySuggested that outermost energy levels can hold Suggested that outermost energy levels can hold more electrons than inner energy levelsmore electrons than inner energy levels
Bohr’s Bohr’s ExperimentExperiment
Studied Studied line emission spectrum of line emission spectrum of hydrogenhydrogen
Noticed that when electrons were excited Noticed that when electrons were excited (basically electrified) they would “jump”. (basically electrified) they would “jump”.
Further, he noticed that these jumps were Further, he noticed that these jumps were similar in energysimilar in energy
This helped to solidify his theory of This helped to solidify his theory of electrons orbiting the nucleus in specific electrons orbiting the nucleus in specific energy levelsenergy levels
