Atomic Theory-DemocritusAtomic Theory-Democritus Greek philosopher, 400 BCGreek philosopher, 400 BC Named the smallest piece of matter Named the smallest piece of matter

“atomos,” meaning “not to be cut.” “atomos,” meaning “not to be cut.” Democritus’ atoms were Democritus’ atoms were smallsmall, hard , hard

particles that were all made of the particles that were all made of the same material but were same material but were differentdifferent shapes and sizes.shapes and sizes.

Atoms were Atoms were infiniteinfinite in number, in number, always moving and capable of always moving and capable of joining together.joining together.

Aristotle and PlatoAristotle and Plato

earth, fire, air and water

Their ideas held sway because of their eminence as philosophers.

The atomos idea was buried for approximately 2000 years.

John DaltonJohn Dalton

experiments that experiments that eventually led to the eventually led to the acceptance of the idea acceptance of the idea of atoms.of atoms.

Cathode ray tube - Electric Cathode ray tube - Electric current through a gascurrent through a gas

Rays went from negative Rays went from negative end to positive end – end to positive end – particles were NEGATIVE!particles were NEGATIVE!

Wheel inside spun – Wheel inside spun – particles had MASS!particles had MASS!

Since atoms are neutral, Since atoms are neutral, there also must be positive there also must be positive subunits???subunits???
