History of The Atoms and Atomic Structure
neutron
proton
Democritus 460-370BC
Suggested atoms were
indivisible (not invisible).
First to use the word atom
(atomos – Greek for
indivisible).
No scientific methods – did
not do experiments.
John Dalton 1766-1844
How it works –
A gas is in the tube and an electric
current is passed through the tube.
The gas glows from the cathode (neg
electrode) to anode (pos electrode).

JJ Thomson con’t
Discovered the electron (e-).
Thanks to George Johnstone Stoney
we now know them as electrons.
e- have a negative charge and are
found outside the nucleus.
Thomson’s Model
of the atom.
Plum Pudding Model (or chocolate
chip cookie model). Draw the model.
1. Ball of positive charge (dough)
2. e- are scattered around
(chocolate chips)
Robert Milikan (1868-1953)
American Physicist
Performed the oil drop
experiment.
Determined the charge
and mass of the
electron.

Eugene Goldstein (1850-1930)
German Physicist
Found a positive charge in
the cathode (negative) ray.
Sometimes credited with
the discovery of the proton.
Ernest Rutherford (1871-1937)
English Physicist
Student of Thomson
Performed the Gold
Foil Experiment (1911)
Gold Foil Experiment
1. A beam of alpha
(radiation) particles was
shot at a piece of gold foil.
2. Some passed thru, some
deflected, some shot back.
3. He suspected the particles
hit a positive particle.
Discovered that atoms have a
nucleus.
Nucleus means little
nut in Latin.
Discovered the proton.
Protons have positive charge
and are found in the nucleus.
Rutherfords Model
of the Atom
e- are in motion
around the pos
nucleus.
Draw model.
This was also called the Planetary
Atomic Theory – e- traveled around
the nucleus like planets around the
sun.
James Chadwick – (1891-1974)
AKA – “Jimmy Neutron”
Danish Physicist
Coworker of Rutherford.
Discovered the neutron.
Neutron has no charge (neutral) and
is found in the nucleus.
Neils Bohr (1885-1962)
Danish Physicist
Rutherford’s model did not
explain chemical properties.
Created the Quantum Model
(1913)
e- do not travel like planets
around the sun.
Energy level – the fixed
distance from nucleus
that e- travel in.
Electrons travel up and
down between energy
levels by gaining and
losing energy. (ladder)
Quantum – energy
needed to move from
energy level to energy
level.
Bohr Model
of the Atom
e- moving in energy levels
around positive nucleus.
He had p, n, and e- in his
atom.
Draw model.
