Structure
Do we understand
everything????

3. Democritus 400 BC • 1st idea of “atoms”
Greece - stated that
all matter is made up
• Believed all matter is made
of atoms. He also
stated that atoms are up of tiny particles separated
eternal and invisible
and so small that
they can’t be divided,
by space
and they entirely fill
up the space they’re
• Named particles “atomos”
in
which means indivisible.
Lavoisier 1789 • Founder of modern
chemistry
France - provided the
formula for the
conservation of matter
• 1st carefully controlled
in chemical reactions,
and also distinguished experiments providing
between an element
and a compound evidence to the Law of
Conservation of Mass

4. Dalton 1766-1844 1st MODERN Atomic Theory
England - formed the 1st atomic theory,
•All matter made up of tiny
which states that all matter is composed of
tiny, indestructible particles called atoms indivisible particles called atoms
that are all alike and have the same atomic
weight. •Atoms of the same element
have identical properties
•Atoms of different elements
have different properties
•Atoms combine in a specific
ratio to form compounds
•A specific compound is always
made up of atoms in a specific
proportion.

5. Thomson 1897 Plum Pudding Model
2.Negative particles scrambled
into the “dough” of the positive
particles.
England - discovered
the electron and
developed the plum-
pudding model of the
atom.
Rutherford 1898 Gold Foil Experiment
England - used the •Atoms are mostly empty space
results of his gold-foil
experiment to state that
all the mass of an

stated that atoms
absorb or emit radiation
only when the electrons

states.

7. Basic Atomic Structure Today scientists agree on the
three basic subatomic particles
that make up all atoms.
Bohr Model for Lithium
(not to scale) Electron = 3
P= 3 +
N = 3 0
Where is most of the mass in the NUCLEUS
Atom?
Where is most of the volume in the Outside the Nucleus; Electron
Atom? Cloud

8. Nucleus • Contains protons(+) and
Neutrons (0)
• Holds most of the mass of
the atom
• Very small compared to the
entire size of the atom
• Most dense part of the atom
Electron • Negatively charged
subatomic particle
• Found outside the nucleus in
the electron cloud
• Smallest particle; mass =
1/1836th of the atom

9. Proton • Positively charged subatomic particle
• Found in the nucleus
• Mass = 1 amu (atomic mass unit)
• # of protons in an atom IDENTIFIES the
atom (which element)
• # of protons in the nucleus of an atom
called the atomic number
Neutron • Zero charge
• Mass = 1 amu
• Do NOT affect the identity of the atom
• Found in the nucleus
• Same atom of an element can have
varying amounts of neutrons (isotope)
• Adding the total number of protons &
neutrons = Atomic Mass Number

same number of protons and
different number of neutrons.

11. Atomic MASS • On the Periodic Table represents a
weighted average of the mass of all
naturally occurring isotopes of each
element. (based on mass and
abundance of each isotope).
• When atoms gain or lose electrons
IONS
they become charged. (number of
protons (+) and electrons (-)
particles are NOT EQUAL)
