    Lesson 3 Atomic Structure Model

    Uploaded by

    Rachel Villasis
    The document summarizes the development of the atomic structure model through key scientists' contributions: 1) Rutherford discovered the nucleus by observing alpha particle deflections, showing atoms are mostly empty space with positive charge concentrated in the center. 2) Bohr modified Rutherford's model by proposing electrons orbit in fixed shells of quantized energy levels. 3) Schrodinger proposed electrons exist as probabilistic wave functions rather than definite orbits, described as electron clouds.

    LESSON 3: ATOMIC STRUCTURE MODEL

     Rutherford fired positively charged alpha particles at


    Contributing People
    a thin sheet of gold foil. Most passed through the
    John Dalton little deflection, but some deflected at large angles.
    This was only possible if the atom was mostly empty
     1803 space, with the positive charge concentrated in the
    center: the nucleus.
     Dalton drew upon the Ancient Greek Idea of atoms
    (the word ‘Atom’ comes from the Greek ‘atomos’
    meaning indivisible).

     His theory started that atoms are indivisible, those of


    a given elements are identical, and compounds are
    combinations of different types of atoms.

    Niels Bohr
     1913
    J.J Thompson

     1904  Bohr modified Rutherford’s model of the atoms by


    stating that nucleus moved around the nucleus in
     Thomson discovered electron (which he called orbits of fixed sizes and energies. Electron energy in
    ‘corpuscles’) in atoms in 1897, for which he won a this model was quantized; electrons could not
    Nobel Prize. He subsequently produced the ‘Plum occupy values of energy between the fixed energy
    pudding’ model of the atom. It shows the atom as levels.
    composed of electrons scattered throughout a
    spherical cloud of positive charge

    Erwin Schrödinger

     1926
    Ernest Rutherford

     1911
     Schrödinger stated that electrons do not move in set
    path around the nucleus but in waves. It is
    impossible to know the exact location of the
    electrons; instead, we have ‘clouds of probability’
    called orbitals, in which we are more likely to find an
    electron.

    Molecular Formula
    - The number of atoms of each element are in a given
    compound.

    Empirical Formula
    - The simplest or most reduced ration of atoms in a
    compound.

    Molecular Formula VS Empirical Formula


    Example
    1. C3H6O3
    Glyceraldehyde or a sweet colorless crystalline
    solid

    2. C3H6O2
    Hydroxyacetone or acetone alcohol

    3. H2C2O4
    Oxalic acid or a white/ colorless, crystalline,
    water-soluble, poisonous acid
