2. Matter
is anything that takes up space
and has mass
All matter is made of atoms
the building blocks of matter, sort of
how bricks are the building blocks of
houses.
Smallest particles of matter
3. • An atom has three parts:
• Proton = positive
• Neutron = no charge
• Electron = negative
• The proton & neutron are
found in the center of the
atom, a place called the
nucleus.
• The electrons orbit the
nucleus.
4. HISTORY OF THE ATOM
460 BC Democritus develops the idea of atoms
he pounded up materials in his
pestle and mortar until he had
reduced them to smaller and
smaller particles which he called
ATOMA (greek for indivisible)
6. HISTORY OF THE ATOM
1808 John Dalton
suggested that all matter was
made up of tiny spheres that
were able to bounce around with
perfect elasticity and called
them ATOMS
8. HISTORY OF THE ATOM
1904
Thompson develops the idea that an atom was made up of electrons
scattered unevenly within an elastic sphere surrounded by a soup of
positive charge to balance the electron's charge
like plums surrounded by pudding.

MODEL
Electrons embedded in positive mass
9. HISTORY OF THE ATOM
1910 Ernest Rutherford
He suggested that the positive
charge was all in a central
nucleus. With this holding the
electrons in place by electrical
attraction
Positive
nucleus
10. HISTORY OF THE ATOM
1913 Niels Bohr
studied under Rutherford at the
Victoria University in Manchester
Bohr refined Rutherford's idea by
adding that the electrons were in
orbits. Rather like planets orbiting
the sun. With each orbit only able to
contain a set number of electrons.
19. Isotopes
Atoms that have the same number of protons
but different numbers of neutrons
Example:
20. is the difference between the mass of nucleons
(protons and neutrons) and the mass of the
nucleus
Atomic number
the number of protons in an atom
the number of protons and
neutrons in an atom

4 Atomic mass
number of electrons = number of protons

24. Ground State – lowest energy level of an electron
Excited State – the electron goes into a higher
energy level
An electron emits energy as it returns to its
ground state
25. When an electron absorbs energy in
the form of light or heat, it goes into
a higher energy level. The electron is
said to be in the excited state. When
an excited electron returns to its
ground state, it emits the energy it
previously absorbed .
26. SPECTRUM
If light is passed
through a prism,
an array of colors
called SPECTRUM
is formed.
