Atomic Structure Timeline

Read Around the Room

Democritus (400 B.C.)

• Proposed that matter was composed of tiny indivisible particles

• Not based on experimental data

• Greek: atomos

John Dalton (1807)

• British Schoolteacher– based his theory on others’

experimental data

• Ball Model– atom is a tiny,

uniform, solid sphere

John Dalton

Dalton’s Four Postulates

1. Elements are composed of small indivisible particles called atoms.

2. Atoms of the same element are identical. Atoms of different elements are different.

3. Atoms of different elements combine together in simple proportions to create a compound.

4. In a chemical reaction, atoms are rearranged, but not changed.

J. J. Thomson (1903)

• Cathode Ray Tube Experiments– beam of negative particles

• Discovered Electrons– negative particles within the

• Plum-pudding Model

J. J. Thomson (1903)

Plum-pudding Model– positive sphere (pudding)

with negative electrons (plums) dispersed throughout

Ernest Rutherford (1911)

• Gold Foil Experiment

• Discovered the nucleus– dense, positive charge in the

center of the atom

• Nuclear Model

Rutherford’s Apparatus

beam of alpha particles

radioactive substance

gold foil

circular ZnS - coated

fluorescent screen

Dorin, Demmin, Gabel, Chemistry The Study of Matter , 3rd Edition, 1990, page 120

Rutherford received the 1908 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his pioneering work in nuclear chemistry.

Ernest Rutherford (1911)

• Nuclear Model– dense, positive nucleus surrounded by

negative electrons

Niels Bohr (1913)

• Bright-Line Spectrum– tried to explain presence of

specific colors in hydrogen’s spectrum

• Energy Levels– electrons can only exist in

specific energy states

• Planetary Model

Niels Bohr (1913)

• Planetary Model

– electrons move in circular orbits within specific energy levels

Bright-line spectrum

Erwin Schrödinger (1926)

• Quantum mechanics – electrons can only exist in

specified energy states

• Electron cloud model – orbital: region around the

nucleus where e- are likely to be found

Erwin Schrödinger (1926)

Electron Cloud Model (orbital)• dots represent probability of finding an e-

not actual electrons

James Chadwick (1932)

• Discovered neutrons– neutral particles in the

nucleus of an atom

• Joliot-Curie Experiments– based his theory on their

experimental evidence

James Chadwick (1932)

Neutron Model• revision of Rutherford’s Nuclear Model
