    1. Early Greek philosophers proposed that all matter is made of tiny, indivisible particles called atoms. John Dalton later formalized the first atomic theory in the early 1800s, stating that each element is composed of unique atoms and that atoms of different elements have different masses. 2. In the late 1800s, J.J. Thomson discovered the electron through experiments on cathode rays, showing atoms contain smaller subatomic particles. Ernest Rutherford then used alpha particle scattering experiments in the early 1900s to determine atoms have a small, dense nucleus at their center. 3. Niels Bohr incorporated Rutherford's nuclear model into his 1913 model of the atom by proposing electrons orbit the nucleus in fixed, quant

    Webquest: Atomic Theories and Models


    Answer these questions on your own, USING COMPLETE SENTENCES where appropriate (most
    of the questions, except tables and drawings).

    Atom Basics: Go to: http://www.chemtutor.com/struct.html and read the “And you thought you were strange”
    section to answer the following questions (put answers in the table).
    1. What are the three subatomic particles that all atoms are made of?
    2. Where are each of the three particles located within the atom?
    3. What is the electrical charge of each particle?

    4. What was the “basic idea” about matter that Leucippus and Democritus proposed?

    5. How did they use atoms to explain different physical properties?

    6. How were the ideas of these two men received by Aristotle, and what was the result on the progress of
    atomic theory for the next 2,000 years?

    12. In what year did he discover the electron?

    13. What was the evidence for “bodies much smaller than atoms”?

    14. What was the model of the atom he proposed in 1904? What was the nickname of this model?
    Rutherford and Bohr: Go to http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/aso/databank/entries/dp13at.html and use the
    information found there to answer the following questions:

    15. Ernest Rutherford had been a student of what important scientist?

    16. In what year did Rutherford perform his experiments using alpha particles (Gold Foil Experiment)?

    17. What observations during his gold foil experiment lead Rutherford to propose a new model of the atom?

    18. What was the charge of the nucleus and how much smaller was it, than the atom itself, according to
    Rutherford?

    19. Explain the problem that Bohr described with Rutherford’s model of the atom that had the electrons
    orbiting the nucleus like the sun around the earth.

    20. How did Bohr modify this model of the atom (i.e. what was his “revolutionary idea” about electrons)?

    21. Use the following link to draw a diagram of the Bohr model of the atom.
