STRUCTURE
Individual atoms of the element germanium
can be seen in this computerized image
obtained through the use of a scanning
tunneling microscope. The microscope
maps an atomic-scale surface by detecting
an electric current flowing from the surface
to the point of a fine metal probe.
DALTON’S ATOMIC THEORY
• Developed by J.J.
THOMSON in 1904
• Sphere of positive
charge where negative
charges are embedded
• Based on a quantum
model – DEFINITE
ENERGY ORBITS
• Electrons in an atom
move around the
nucleus in circular
orbits. (1885-1962), Danish
physicist and 1922
Nobel laureate,
