| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The idea of atoms were rejected by other Greek Philosophers like Aristotle | Democritus |
| Atoms moved through empty space There are different kinds of atoms with different sizes & shapes The different properties of matter were a result of these differences | Democritus |
| What did Democritus propose | Proposed all matter is made up of indivisible particles He called them “Atomos”. |
| Each Element is composed of tiny indivisible particles called ATOMS ALL atoms of a given element are identical, atoms of a specific element is different from the atoms of other elements | Dalton’s Atomic Theory of Matter |
| Atoms are neither created nor destroyed during Chemical reactions (law of conservation of mass as originally defined by Antoine Lavoisier in 1785) In a chemical reaction atoms are separated, combined or rearranged | Dalton’s Atomic Theory of Matter |
| Different atoms combine in simple whole number ratios to form compounds | Dalton’s Atomic Theory of Matter |
| In 1897 he discovers the electron | J.J. Thomson |
| In 1899 Thomson proposed a new model of the atom | This came to be Known as the “PLUM PUDDING” model of the atom |
| GOLD FOIL EXPERIMENT | RUTHERFORD’s |
| Who named the core of a atom the nucleus | RUTHERFORD’s |
| that most of the mass of the atom is concentrated in a very small core at the atom’s center | RUTHERFORD’s |
| Indicated electrons occupy mostly empty space around the nucleus | RUTHERFORD’s |
| To move from one orbit to the next they had to absorb or release very specific amounts of energy called “quantum“ | NIELS BOHR |
| Electrons cannot reside between these orbits, representing specific energy levels . | NIELS BOHR |
| therefore proposed the nucleus also contained another uncharged particle with same mass as a proton | RUTHERFORD’s |
| Chadwick Performed Experiments that led to the discovery of the Neutron | James Chadwick (1891 |
