PRESENTATION OUTLINE

Democritus

  • Used philosophy, not science
  • Atoms were indivisible and indestructible 
  • Everything is made up of atons

John Dalton

  • John Dalton was born into a Quaker family in Cumberland, England
  • He said that all matter is made up out of very small things he called atoms
  • In his model the Nucleus was unknowin

J.J. Thomson

  • Thomson discovered the electron in 1897
  • People realized that atoms were made up out of even smaller particles
  • He called his atomic model "Plum Pudding"
  • The model is made up out of negative electrons that float in positive charge
  • No one knew how the electrons were in the atom was arranged 

Ernest rutherford

  • His model described atoms as tiny, dense and positively charged
  • It had a positively charged core called the Nucleus 
  • The Nucleus was by lighter, negative charged atoms
  • The atom in the model was like a mini solar system
  • The model can be known as a planetery model of an atom

Neils bohr

  • Rutherford's model had problems
  • It didn't explain the light the electrons gave off
  • Bohr solved the problem
  • Electrons orbit the Nucleus a certain way in different energy levels

James chadwick

  • In 1932 Chadwick discovered the neutron and measured its mass

Erwin Schrodinger

  • He made a powerful model of the atom in 1926
  • The model is about the electron is a wave
  • It tells you the probability where the electron can be found
  • The model can't tell us where the electron is anymore
  • The model only tells you where it might be
