The Atom• ~400 BCE Democritus: small
particle (“atomos” is Greek for indivisible)
• 1803 John Dalton: atomic model with several postulates
• 1897-now Modern Investigations…

Dalton’s Atomic Dalton’s Atomic TheoryTheory
1. All matter consists of atoms which are indivisible and indestructible.
2. Atoms of one element cannot be converted into atoms of another element.
3. Atoms of an element are identical in mass and other properties and are different from
atoms of any other element.
4. Compounds result from the chemical combination of a specific ratio of atoms of different elements.
The Postulates
From Silberberg, Principles of Chemistry

And so…• Law of Conservation of Matter –
matter cannot be created or destroyed during a physical or chemical change.

And so…• Law of Definite Proportions A given
compound always contains the same proportion of elements by mass
– CaCO3 10 g Ca + 3 g C + 12 g O or 40 g Ca + 12 g C + 48 g O
– H2O 1 g H + 8 g O or 7 g H + 56 g O

And so…• Law of Multiple Proportions - When two
elements form more than one compound the ratio of the masses of the second element with 1 g of the first can always be reduced to small whole numbers
• H2O (water) H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide)1 g H 1 g H 8 g O 16 g O16/8 = 2

Atomic Structure• ~1870-1935 saw experimentation that
showed that Dalton was right and wrong.
• 1874 – Stoney: electricity is made of individual particles with negative charge called electrons
• 1879 – Crookes: discovered “cathode rays” have distinct properties like electrons

Atomic Structure• 1896 – Becquerel discovers emissions
from materials (radioactivity)• 1898 – Rutherford uncovers properties
of the some Becquerel emissions and names them alpha and beta

Atomic Structure• 1897 – Thomson discovers “canal
rays” are the same as positive hydrogen atoms
• Model of atom is “plum pudding” with + and – particles mixed together

• 1911 – Rutherford conducts “gold foil experiment”

Atomic Structure• After gold foil experiment, atomic
model changes to one with + charges (protons) in dense center with – charges (electrons) surrounding the center
• 1932 – Chadwick: discovers the missing mass in the atom comes from neutral particles named neutrons

A = mass number; A = Z + N
Isotope = atoms of an element with the same number of protons, but a different number of neutrons
AZ
Z = atomic number (the number of protons in the nucleus)

The Modern Reassessment of Dalton’s Atomic Theory
1. All matter is composed of atoms that are indivisible and indestructible. The atom is the smallest body that retains the unique identity of the element. However, it can, under unusual circumstances, be destroyed (converted to energy) and it can be divided into smaller parts.
2. Atoms of one element cannot be converted into atoms of another element in a chemical reaction. Elements can only be converted into other elements in nuclear reactions.
3. All atoms of an element have the same number of protons and electrons, which determines the chemical behavior of the element. Isotopes of an element differ in the number of neutrons, and thus in mass number. A sample of the element is treated as though its atoms have an average mass.
4. Compounds are formed by the chemical combination of two or more elements in specific ratios.
