Study Notes

Atom Definition and Composition

  • The smallest particle of an element is called an atom.
  • Atoms are considered the building blocks of matter.

Historical Beliefs About Atoms

  • Early beliefs described atoms as uniform, solid, hard, incompressible, and indestructible.
  • The concept existed that all things on Earth originated from four main elements: Fire, Water, Earth, and Air.

Dalton's Atomic Theory

  • Proposed that all objects are made of indivisible solid spheres known as atoms.

Thomson's Model

  • Introduced the idea of negatively charged electrons existing in a positively charged "sea."
  • Described atoms as comprised of negatively charged particles (electrons) swimming in a positively charged background.

Rutherford's Model

  • Suggested that negatively charged electrons surround a small, positively charged nucleus.
  • Electrons revolve around the nucleus at high speeds, adhering to circular paths.

Bohr's Model

  • Explained that a central, positively charged nucleus is orbited by negatively charged electrons in fixed orbits.
  • Introduced the concept of energy levels, where electrons can occupy principal energy levels and specific orbitals.
