Study Notes
Atomic Models Throughout History
- John Dalton (1803): Proposed the solid sphere model, suggesting atoms are indivisible and identical. Elements differ in mass and properties. Elements combine in fixed ratios. Dalton's model (1803) posited atoms as hard spheres, foundational for atomic theory.
Atomic Models Continued
- J.J. Thomson (1904): Discovered the electron. Developed the plum pudding model. Proposed atoms have a positive charge spread throughout the atom, with negative electrons embedded within.
Further Atomic Model Development
- Ernest Rutherford (1911): Developed the planetary model of the atom. Proposed a small, dense, positively charged nucleus at the center. Most of the atom is empty space.
Bohr's Model
- Niels Bohr (1913): Introduced the Bohr model. Electrons orbit the nucleus in fixed energy levels. Electron's attraction to the positively charged nucleus maintain its orbit.
Quantum Mechanical Model
- Erwin Schrödinger (1926): Developed the quantum mechanical model. Electrons are described as waves of probability, occupying specific energy levels or "shells". This model explains electron behavior in more detail. Schrodinger's equation is fundamental to this model.
Historical Models of the Atom Summarized
- Solid Sphere Model (Dalton): Atoms are indivisible and identical.
- Plum Pudding Model (Thomson): Positive charge spread throughout the atom with embedded electrons.
- Planetary Model (Rutherford): Dense positive nucleus with electrons orbiting like planets.
- Bohr Model (Bohr): Electrons orbit nucleus in fixed energy levels.
- Quantum Mechanical Model (Schrödinger): Electrons are described as waves of probability.
