The document summarizes the key developments in the atomic theory by scientists including Dalton, Thomson, Rutherford, Bohr, Schrodinger, and Chadwick. Dalton developed the first atomic theory proposing atoms as basic units of matter. Thomson discovered the electron and proposed the plum pudding model of the atom. Rutherford discovered the nucleus through alpha particle scattering experiments. Bohr incorporated quantization into his atomic model. Schrodinger developed the quantum mechanical model using wave equations. Chadwick discovered the neutron in 1932, completing the nuclear model of the atom.

Passed to: Mr. Jesse Riveral JOHN DALTON He noticed through his experiments that “the air is not a vast chemical solvent as Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier and his followers had thought, but a mechanical system, where the pressure exerted by each gas in a mixture is independent of the pressure exerted by the other gases, and where the total pressure is the sum of the pressures of each gas." This led to him discovering that atoms were different in weight and structure. Developed the Dalton Atomic Theory based on his five main points: 1. Everything is composed of atoms, which are the indivisible building blocks of matter and cannot be destroyed. 2. All atoms of an element are identical. 3. The atoms of different elements vary in size and mass. 4. Compounds are produced through different whole-number combinations of atoms. 5. A chemical reaction results in the rearrangement of atoms in the reactant and product compounds. J.J. THOMSON In the late 1800s, Thomson was experimenting with his cathode ray tube. He concluded that The particles are attracted by positive (+) charges and repelled by negative (−) charges, so they must be negatively charged (like charges repel and unlike charges attract); they are less massive than atoms and indistinguishable, regardless of the source material, so they must be fundamental, subatomic constituents of all atoms. In 1904, Thomson proposed the “plum pudding” model of atoms, which described a positively charged mass with an equal amount of negative charge in the form of electrons embedded in it, since all atoms are electrically neutral. ERNEST RUTHERFORD He performed a series of experiments using a beam of high-speed, positively charged alpha particles that were produced by the radioactive decay of radium. They noticed that most particles passed through the foil, while others where deflected. He then came to the conclusion that: 1. The volume occupied by an atom must consist of a large amount of empty space. 2. A small, relatively heavy, positively charged body, the nucleus, must be at the center of each atom. This analysis led Rutherford to propose a model in which
an atom consists of a very small, positively charged
nucleus, in which most of the mass of the atom is concentrated, surrounded by the negatively charged electrons, so that the atom is electrically neutral. NIELS BOHR In 1913, Niels Bohr proposed a model for a hydrogen model that explained its emission spectrum. It had one assumption: The electrons move around the nucleus that can only allow certain radii. He showed that the energy of an elctron in a particular orbit is given by: En=−RHhcn/2 He could not explain, however, why they were restricted to a single orbit only. ERWIN SCHRODINGER In 1926, Schrodinger took the Bohr atom model further. Schrodinger used Mathematical equations to describe the likelihood of finding an electron in a certain position. This model is known as the Quantum Mechanical Model. The model predicts the odds of finding an electron’s location. Where the cloud is most dense is where the highest chances of finding an electron is located. JAMES CHADWICK In 1932, James Chadwick bombarded beryllium atoms with atom particles which produced an unknown radiation. He interpreted this radiation as being composed of particles with a neutral electrical charge and the approximate mass of a proton. This particle became known as the neutron. Chadwick proceeded to make a model of the atom with neutrons.
