The document traces the history and development of atomic models from ancient Greek philosophers to modern quantum theory. It describes Democritus's early idea of indivisible atoms, followed by John Dalton formalizing the first atomic theory in the early 1800s. J.J. Thomson later discovered the electron and proposed that atoms are like "plum puddings" with positive matter and embedded electrons. Ernest Rutherford's gold foil experiment revealed that atoms have a small, dense positive nucleus, leading Niels Bohr to model electrons orbiting the nucleus in fixed shells. Modern quantum theory describes electrons as occupying probability clouds or orbitals around the nucleus.

HISTORY OF THE ATOM
The document provides a timeline of important discoveries and developments in the understanding of the atom from ancient Greek philosophers Democritus and Aristotle up to the early 20th century. It describes key contributions such as Democritus' idea that all matter is made of indivisible atoms, Dalton introducing atomic theory in 1802, Mendeleev organizing the periodic table in 1869, Thomson discovering the electron in 1897, Rutherford proposing the nuclear model of the atom in 1911, and Moseley ordering the elements by atomic number in 1913.
History of the atom
The document summarizes the history and development of atomic theory from ancient Greek philosophers to modern quantum mechanics. It describes early theories proposed by Aristotle and Democritus. John Dalton rejected Aristotle's theory and proposed atoms are indivisible, identical for each element, and combine in whole number ratios. Discovery of the electron, proton, and neutron led to new atomic models. Quantum mechanics explains atomic structure as electrons occupying probabilistic orbitals rather than fixed paths. The current model integrates discoveries of subatomic particles and quantum theory.
History Of Atomic Structure
The document summarizes the history of atomic structure theories over thousands of years in 7 parts:
1) Ancient Greek philosophers Aristotle and Democritus proposed early atomic theories in Greece over 2000 years ago.
2) Medieval European alchemists developed early chemistry experiments between 800-900 AD trying to change materials into gold.
3) In 1808, John Dalton proposed atoms as tiny particles that could not be divided and that each element was made of its own type of atom.
4) In 1897, J.J. Thompson discovered electrons as negatively charged particles smaller than atoms.

History of the atoms
The document discusses the history of the atomic theory from ancient philosophers to modern scientists. It describes early thinkers like Thales who discovered static electricity but did not connect it to atoms. Democritus in 400 BC proposed that all matter is made of indivisible atoms that differ in shape and size. In the 1800s, Dalton, Dobereiner, and Berzelius conducted experiments that provided evidence for the atomic theory. Mendeleev organized the known elements into the first periodic table in 1869. In the early 1900s, Thomson discovered the electron, Rutherford proposed the nuclear model of the atom, and Moseley ordered the elements by atomic number, correcting Mendeleev's table.
History of atoms
Greek philosopher Democritus first proposed the idea of atoms in 460 BC, reasoning that matter must be divisible into indivisible particles. However, his idea was largely ignored. In the early 1800s, John Dalton performed experiments and developed an atomic theory, stating that elements are made of identical atoms that combine to form compounds. In 1897, Joseph John Thomson discovered the electron and proposed a early atomic model where electrons were embedded in a uniform sphere of positive charge, like raisins in pudding, known as the plum pudding model.

Atomic Theory
Atomic theory describes matter as composed of atoms, the basic units that constitute chemical elements. Democritus first proposed the idea of indivisible atoms in ancient Greece. In the early 1900s, J.J. Thomson discovered the electron and proposed a "plum pudding" model of the atom. Ernest Rutherford discovered the nucleus through alpha particle scattering experiments, leading to the planetary model of electrons orbiting the nucleus. Niels Bohr later adjusted this model to account for electron stability.
The atomic theory
The document summarizes the development of atomic theory over time through the contributions of several scientists. Democritus first proposed that all matter is composed of invisible particles called atoms. John Dalton viewed atoms as tiny spheres and discovered their relative masses. J.J. Thomson discovered electrons and evidence that something smaller than atoms exists. Ernest Rutherford determined that atoms have a small, dense nucleus containing their mass. Later models incorporated electrons orbiting the nucleus in certain orbits by Bohr and Schrodinger viewed them as waves within layers. James Chadwick discovered neutrons, completing the modern atomic model.
Discovery of the atom
Ancient Greek philosophers proposed early models of atoms as fundamental elements like earth, air, fire and water. In the 17th century, Robert Boyle questioned these models and advocated experimentation over philosophy. John Dalton proposed atoms as indivisible, identical spheres that combine to form compounds. J.J. Thompson's "plum pudding" model depicted atoms as positive and negative charges. However, experiments by Ernest Rutherford, Hans Geiger and Ernest Marsden found most alpha particles passed through a gold foil with few deflected, leading Rutherford to propose the planetary model of a small, dense nucleus surrounded by electrons. Later, Henry Moseley arranged elements by atomic number, James Chadwick discovered the neutral neutron in the

Physical science 4.1 : Development of Atomic Theory
Democritus was one of the first to propose the idea of atoms in 440 BCE, suggesting that matter is made up of tiny indivisible particles called atoms. In the early 1900s, experiments led scientists to develop more accurate models of the atom. Rutherford discovered the nucleus in 1909 by firing positively charged particles at a gold foil and observing some particles deflecting, indicating a small, dense nucleus. Bohr then proposed in 1913 that electrons orbit the nucleus in distinct energy levels. The modern atomic theory describes the regions where electrons are likely to be found as electron clouds.
Atomic structure and theories
Dalton's atomic theory proposed that matter is made of small indivisible particles called atoms, atoms of the same element are identical, and atoms of different elements have different masses and properties. Rutherford discovered the nucleus of the atom through his gold foil experiment, finding that some alpha particles bounced off the small, dense nucleus at the center of the atom. Chadwick discovered the neutron through experiments with excessively charged atoms, an uncharged particle that helped explain nuclear structure.

Evolution of atomic theory
The atomic theory has evolved over time from early Greek philosophers' idea that all matter is made of indivisible atoms, to modern scientific discoveries about atomic structure. Democritus first proposed the idea of atoms in 460 BC. In the early 1900s, Rutherford discovered the nucleus through his gold foil experiment, and Bohr proposed that electrons orbit in specific energy levels. Chadwick discovered the neutron in the 1920s, completing the standard model of the atom's subatomic particles. Today's electron cloud model depicts electrons as existing in regions rather than fixed orbits.
Introduction to atomic theory ppt
The document summarizes the development of atomic theory over thousands of years through the proposals of different atomic models by scientists like Democritus, Dalton, Thomson, Rutherford, Bohr, and others. It describes how atomic models have evolved from early concepts of atoms as indivisible spheres to the current understanding of atoms having a small, dense nucleus surrounded by an electron cloud.
Historical background on the development in chemistry iii
Democritus first proposed the existence of atoms in 460 BC, though the atomic theory was not widely accepted until John Dalton proposed it in 1803 based on the laws of multiple and constant proportions. The discovery of subatomic particles like the electron by J.J. Thomson in 1897 and proton by Rutherford in 1911 led to proposed atomic models like the plum pudding model and nuclear atom. Defining the mass and charge of these particles along with isotopes observed by Francis Aston and the neutron discovered by James Chadwick in 1932 completed the basic components of the modern atomic theory.

- J.J. Thomson's plum pudding model of the atom was modified based on evidence from experiments by Rutherford, Geiger, Marsden, and Bohr.
- In the gold foil experiment, Geiger and Marsden observed some alpha particles deflected at high angles from a thin gold foil, inconsistent with Thomson's model but evidence for a small, dense nucleus.
- Bohr incorporated Planck's quantum theory to explain the stability of atoms, suggesting electrons occupy discrete energy levels and jump between them.
Atomic structure
1) Atoms are composed of a small, dense, positively charged nucleus surrounded by negatively charged electrons.
2) Rutherford's gold foil experiment showed that atoms are mostly empty space, with a tiny nucleus accounting for most of the atom's mass.
3) Atoms of the same element have the same number of protons but can vary in the number of neutrons, resulting in different isotopes of that element with different atomic masses.

HISTORY OF ATOM.ppt
The document outlines the major contributors to the development of the atomic model from ancient Greek philosophers to modern physicists. It discusses Democritus' early atomic theory, followed by Lavoisier and Dalton's atomic theories in the 18th-19th centuries. It then focuses on 20th century scientists like J.J. Thomson, Ernest Rutherford, Niels Bohr, Erwin Schrodinger, and James Chadwick who made key discoveries that led to modern atomic structure, such as electrons, the nucleus, electron shells, and neutrons.
atomic Theory ppt final\complete grade 9 lesson
Chemistry began with Aristotle's idea that all matter was made of four elements. Democritus later suggested that matter was made of indivisible particles called atoms. In the 1800s, John Dalton developed the atomic theory stating that all matter is made of atoms that are identical within an element. At the turn of the 20th century, scientists discovered atoms are made of even smaller parts including positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons. Rutherford discovered the nucleus at the center of the atom with electrons orbiting outside. Bohr then proposed electrons orbit in distinct energy levels like planets around the sun. Isotopes with different neutron numbers but the same element were later identified.
The discovery of the atomic world and the constituents of matter
The discovery of the atomic world and the constituents of matter was written to investigate the order of discovery of the sub atomic particles. The discovery of these particles took place in a necessary and inevitable order with charged particles, such as electrons and protons, discovered before neutrons, and particles in the outer regions of the atom such as electrons being discovered before protons and neutrons in the atomic nucleus, and with quarks which exist within protons and neutrons being the last discovery. The order of discovery is from those particles closest to us to those further from us in the sense of being deeper in the atom. The order of discovery and the social and cultural consequences of the discoveries took place in a necessary and inevitable order and is consistent with the conclusions reached in my book How Change Happens: A Theory of Philosophy of History, Social Change and Cultural Evolution.
Atomic theory and periodic table timeline
Democritus first proposed that all matter is made up of tiny indivisible particles called atoms in 400 BC, though Aristotle argued matter was infinitely divisible. In the early 19th century, scientists including Proust, Dalton and Döbereiner made discoveries laying the foundations of atomic theory and periodic law. J.J. Thomson discovered the electron in 1897 and proved hydrogen has one electron, while Rutherford proposed the nuclear model of the atom in 1911. Bothe and Chadwick discovered the neutron in 1931, completing modern atomic theory.

Unit 4. the atom
Rutherford's gold foil experiment in 1909 led to the discovery that atoms have a small, dense nucleus containing positive charge. This contradicted the prevailing Thomson "plum pudding" model, which depicted atoms as uniformly positive with electrons mixed in. Through deflecting alpha particles, Rutherford deduced atoms are mostly empty space with a tiny, massive nucleus at their center. He thus proposed the planetary model of the atom, with electrons orbiting the nucleus similarly to planets around the Sun. However, this model failed to explain atomic stability, until Niels Bohr introduced quantum theory in 1913, proposing electrons occupy discrete energy levels and can jump between them by absorbing or emitting photons. This evolution of atomic theory progressed
Dear Democritus...
1) The document traces the history of atomic theory from ancient Greece to modern times, starting with Democritus' idea of atoms that was rejected by Aristotle.
2) In the 1600s, chemistry emerged as a science, with Antoine Lavoisier distinguishing elements and compounds. John Dalton further developed atomic theory in 1803, proposing atoms of different elements have different properties.
3) Ernest Rutherford's 1909 gold foil experiment discovered the atomic nucleus, replacing the plum pudding model and showing atoms have mostly empty space. This led to models placing electrons in distinct orbits around the nucleus.

The document summarizes the history of atomic structure models from Thomson's "plum pudding" model to Bohr's model. It describes key scientists' contributions, including:
- Thomson's discovery of the electron and proposal that atoms contain positive charge with electrons distributed throughout
- Rutherford's gold foil experiment which led him to propose a small, dense nucleus with electrons in orbits around it
- Bohr's refinement incorporating quantum theory, explaining electron energy levels and spectral lines
LESSON 2 THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ATOMIC THEORY.pptx
1. The document traces the development of atomic theory from ancient Greek philosophers Democritus and Aristotle to modern scientists like Dalton, Thomson, Rutherford, and Bohr.
2. Rutherford's gold foil experiment disproved Thomson's plum pudding model of the atom and led him to propose the nuclear model with electrons orbiting a small, dense nucleus.
3. The discovery of the proton, neutron, and Bohr's model of electron orbits further refined scientific understanding of atomic structure.

J.J. Thomson discovered the electron in 1897 through experiments with cathode rays. He proposed the "plum pudding" model of the atom, where electrons were embedded in a uniform sphere of positive charge. Ernest Rutherford performed the gold foil experiment in 1909, which led him to propose the Rutherford model of the atom in 1911 - a small, dense nucleus surrounded by orbiting electrons. Neils Bohr improved on this model in 1913 by incorporating quantum theory, explaining the Rydberg formula for hydrogen spectra. In the Bohr model, electrons orbit in discrete energy levels and jump between them, emitting or absorbing photons of specific frequencies.
Atomic structure
This document discusses the history of atomic theory and models of the atom. It describes early philosophers' ideas that matter is made of fundamental particles called atoms. In the 1800s, John Dalton proposed atoms as tiny, indivisible spheres that combine to form compounds. J.J. Thomson's experiments in the late 1800s showed atoms contain even smaller, negatively charged particles called electrons. Ernest Rutherford's gold foil experiment in 1911 demonstrated atoms have a small, dense nucleus containing positive charge. Later models incorporated the discoveries of protons and neutrons in atomic nuclei, and quantum theory explained electron behavior.
The atom (handouts)
1. Theories of atomic structure have evolved over millennia from ancient Greek philosophers to modern scientific experiments. John Dalton proposed atoms as the basic building blocks of matter in 1803 based on laws of chemical combination.
2. In the early 20th century, experiments revealed atoms have smaller subatomic particles including electrons, protons, and neutrons. Ernest Rutherford's gold foil experiment in 1911 established that atoms have a small, dense nucleus containing positively charged protons and uncharged neutrons, with electrons in orbits around the nucleus.
3. Niels Bohr's 1913 model visualized electrons orbiting the nucleus like planets around the sun, which explained atomic spectra. Later models like Erwin Schrödinger's 1926

The document summarizes the development of atomic theory over time from Democritus' idea of indivisible atoms to the current wave model. It describes early atomic models including Democritus, Dalton, Thomson's plum pudding model, Rutherford's gold foil experiment leading to the discovery of the nucleus, and Bohr's model of electrons in orbits around the nucleus. The modern wave model views electrons as existing in electron clouds or orbitals around the nucleus rather than defined orbits.
