Activity #38 Atomic Theory:
How do we know what atoms are made of?
• In science, we use models to help us understand particles, like atoms, that are too small to see.
• The following slides show how scientists were able to discover the parts and function of the atom.
Station 1:Democritus (400 BC)
• Ancient Greek philosopher• Believed that everything in
the universe was made of indivisible particles called “atoms” (or “atomos” in Greek)
• Said atoms were constantly moving
• Atoms only differed in shape, position, and arrangement
Democritus Cont’d
Station 2: John Dalton (1803)
• Visualized atoms to look like a pool ball/bowling ball
All elements are made of atoms.All atoms of the same element are exactly
alike and have same mass.An atom of one element cannot be changed
into an atom of a different element.Atoms cannot be created nor destroyed, only
rearranged.Compounds are made from atoms of
different elements.
John Dalton Cont’d
Station 3: J.J. Thomson (1897)• Visualized the atom to
look like a chocolate chip muffin or plum pudding
• An atom consists of negative charges scattered throughout a ball of positive charges.
• Proved that an atom could be divided
• Said the atom is neutral.
JJ Thomson Cont’d
Station 4: Ernest Rutherford (1908)
Rutherford was a student of Thomson.
Visualized the atom to look like a peach
Positive charge (protons) is located in the center of the atom.
Center is called the nucleus.Almost all of the atom’s mass is
located in the nucleus.Atom is mostly empty space with
the electrons moving around the nucleus.
Ernest Rutherford Cont’d
Station 5: Niels Bohr (1913)• Student of Thomson and
Rutherford• Visualized the atom to look
like a sliced red onion & planets in the solar system
• Electrons orbit around the nucleus in a definite orbit
• Electrons could have only specific amounts of energy, leading them to move in certain orbits
Niels Bohr Cont’d
Station 6: The Electron Cloud Model (1920s)
• Electrons do not move in a definite path
• It is impossible to determine the exact location of an electron
• The atom has a small, positively charged nucleus, surrounded by the electron cloud
The Electron Cloud Model Cont’d
