It is the scientific theory that matter is composed of particles called atoms.
Atomic Theory
Evolution of Atomic Theory
ATOMISM (DEMOCRITUS, 5TH CENTURY BC), SOLID SPHERE MODEL (JOHN DALTON, 1803), PLUM PUDDING MODEL (J.J. THOMSON, 1897), NUCLEAR MODEL (ERNEST RUTHERFORD, 1911), PLANETARY MODEL (NIELS BOHR, 1913), QUANTUM MODEL (ERWIN SCHRODINGER, 1926)
Atoms are invisible, and compounds are combinations of different types of atoms.
SOLID SPHERE MODEL (JOHN DALTON, 1803)
The atom is a sphere, but the positive and negative charges are embedded within it.
PLUM PUDDING MODEL (J.J. THOMSON, 1897)
Electrons orbiting in a set, predictable paths around fixed, positively nucleus.
NUCLEAR MODEL (ERNEST RUTHERFORD, 1911)
Electrons are arranged in concentric specific circular orbits around the nucleus.
PLANETARY MODEL (NIELS BOHR, 1913)
The locations of the electrons could only be described as being part of a ‘cloud’ around the nucleus.
QUANTUM MODEL (ERWIN SCHRODINGER, 1926)
In 1803, _________, developed the first atomic theory and introduced the use of symbols to represent the elements. These elements can combine to form compounds.
John Dalton
Postulate 1 of Dalton’s Atomic Theory
Elements consist of indivisible small particles, called atom.
Postulate 2 of Dalton’s Atomic Theory
All atoms of the same element are identical; different elements have different types of atoms.
Postulate 3 of Dalton’s Atomic Theory
Atoms can neither be created nor destroyed.
Postulate 4 of Dalton’s Atomic Theory
‘Compound elements; (i.e. compounds) are formed when atoms of different elements join in simple ratios to form ‘compound atoms’ (i.e. molecules)
Serves as the identity of an atom. Also refers to the number of protons in the nucleus of each atom of an element.
Atomic Number
_______is the total number of neutrons and protons present in the nucleus of an atom of an element.
Atomic Mass
Atoms that have the same atomic number but different masses are known as ________.
Isotopes
Charges atoms have are generally called
Ions
Positively charged ion
Cation
negatively charged ion
Anion
In 1913, ________ improved Rutherford’s model by adding the concept of orbits
Niels Bohr
______are stable discrete regions where electrons do not experience spontaneous energy absorption and emission.
Orbits
Orbits are also known as
Energy level (n)
Mathematical description of the wave properties of electrons and other small particles.
QUANTUM THEORY
It suggests the probability of finding an electron at give place around the nucleus.
QUANTUM THEORY
An _______is a three-dimensional region surrounding the nucleus and represents the probable location of the electrons.
Orbital
