Ancient Greeks and the Concept of Atoms
- Democritus called the tiny, uncuttable pieces of matter "atoms".
- According to Democritus, if you keep cutting a piece of matter, you will eventually reach atoms that cannot be cut further.
- "Atomos" in Greek means "indivisible".
Aristotle's Theory of Elements
- Aristotle believed that everything is made of four elements: earth, air, fire, and water.
- Aristotle's theory stated that everything is composed of these four elements.
Reintroduction of Atoms in the 1800s
- John Dalton reintroduced the idea of atoms in the 1800s.
- John Dalton described atoms as small, indivisible particles that make up elements.
Scientists' Realization in the 1800s
- In the 1800s, scientists realized that matter is composed of tiny, indivisible particles called atoms.
J.J. Thomson's Experiment
- J.J. Thomson's experiment with cathode ray tubes revealed that atoms are composed of tiny, negatively charged particles called electrons.
- J.J. Thomson visualized the structure of atoms as a plum pudding model, with negatively charged electrons embedded in a positively charged sphere.
- J.J. Thomson proposed that the positive and negative charges in an atom balance each other out.
Rutherford's Experiment
- Rutherford's experiment with shooting alpha particles at a thin gold foil revealed that atoms have a small, dense nucleus.
- Most alpha particles behaved as if they bounced back when aimed at the thin gold foil in Rutherford's experiment.
- The behavior of the alpha particles indicated that atoms have a small, dense nucleus with a positive charge.
Niel Bohr's Atomic Model
- Niel Bohr proposed that electrons move in specific energy levels around the nucleus.
- The closest path to the nucleus in Bohr's atomic model is represented by the first energy level.
- Niel Bohr described the behavior of electrons as moving in specific energy levels around the nucleus.
Heisenberg and Schrödinger's Quantum Theory
- Heisenberg and Schrödinger's quantum theory proposed that the location of an electron is uncertain and can only be described by probability.
- Heisenberg introduced the concept of uncertainty principle to explain the inability to know both the exact position and speed of an electron.
- Schrödinger used mathematical equations to describe the probability of finding an electron in a specific location.
- The quantum theory presented by Heisenberg and Schrödinger differed from Bohr's atomic model by introducing the concept of uncertainty principle and using mathematical equations to describe the behavior of electrons.
