    Discovery of The Structure of The Atom

    Uploaded by

    Anjelica Marino Pastrana
    The document discusses the history of discoveries that led to the modern understanding of the structure of the atom. It describes how ancient Greek scholars first conceived of atoms as indivisible particles. In the 1800s, John Dalton developed the first scientific model of atoms as hard spheres that combine to form compounds. Radioactivity was discovered in the late 1800s. J.J. Thomson's experiments in the 1890s revealed that atoms contain smaller negatively charged particles, electrons. Rutherford's experiments in 1908 led him to propose a planetary model of the atom with electrons orbiting a small, dense nucleus. Later contributions include Niels Bohr incorporating quantum theory and James Chadwick discovering the neutron in 1932.

    DISCOVERY OF THE

    STRUCTURE OF THE
    ATOM
    OBJECTIVE: THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO:
    1.POINT OUT THE MAIN IDEAS IN THE DISCOVERY OF THE STRUCTURE OF THE ATOM
    II. THE STUDENTS WILL ABLE TO BE MORE CONFIDENT WITH HYPOTHETICAL THINKING
    THROUGH HOW THE IDEAS OF ATOM WERE FOUNDED
    If you are to discover something.
    What would it be and why?
    INDIVISIBLE

    • We will start with1800s in discussing the idea of the atom.


    However, its genesis or beginning actually started on ancient
    greece
    • The word ‘atom’ is from Ancient Greek that means ‘indivisible’.
    The Ancient Greek theory. This was attributed to Democritus
    (460–370 BC) and his mentor Leucippus 
    1803- JOHN DALTON

    He developed a more scientific term


    for an “ATOM”.
    Atoms as small, hard spheres that are
    indivisible.
    Atoms of a given element are
    identical to each other.
    1803- JOHN DALTON

    • With the exception


    of isotopes
    • What are isotopes?
    1803- JOHN DALTON

    • He also came up with theories about how atoms combine to


    make compounds, and also came up with 
    the first set of chemical symbols for the known elements.
    RADIOACTIVITY

    • 1896-Henri Becquerel
    discovered that certain minerals, such as uranium salts, emitted a new form of energy.

    Marie Curie coined the term radioactivity (from the Latin radius, meaning


    “ray”)
     1897- JOSEPH JOHN (JJ) THOMSON

    ATOMS ARE
    NOT
    INDIVISIBLE
    HE CARRIED OUT EXPERIMENTS USING CATHODE RAYS
    PRODUCED IN A DISCHARGE TUBE, AND FOUND THAT THE RAYS
    WERE ATTRACTED BY POSITIVELY CHARGED METAL PLATES
    BUT REPELLED BY NEGATIVELY CHARGED ONES. FROM THIS HE
    DEDUCED THE RAYS MUST BE NEGATIVELY CHARGED.
    • He Discovered the electron
    And called it “corpuscles”

    “Atoms were not


    indivisible, but had
    smaller constituent
    parts.”
    1904- ‘The Plum Pudding Model’ 
    •  
    1908- ERNEST RUTHERFORD

    •  a physicist from New


    Zealand who studied at
    Cambridge University
    under Thomson.
    involved firing positiv
    ely charged alpha part
    icles at a thin sheet of
    gold foil
    . The alpha particles
    were so small they
    could pass through the
    gold foil
    PLANETARY MODEL
    1908- Ernest Rutherford
    NIELS BOHR

    • He realized that classical physics


    could not properly explain what
    was going on at the atomic level;
    instead, he invoked quantum
    theory to try and explain the
    arrangement of electrons. 
    1932-  JAMES CHADWICK 

    • discovered the existence of the neutron
