    Atomic Theory

  • Democritus

    Democritus
    Developed the idea of the atom.
    (460 b.c.)
  • Antoine Lavoisier

    Antoine Lavoisier
    He came up with the Law of Conservation of Mass. He also stated that oxygen was indeed an element.
  • John Dalton

    John Dalton
    Developed 'Daltons Atomic Theory'
  • Dalton's Atomic Theory

    Dalton's Atomic Theory
    1. All matter is made of atoms. Atoms are invisible and indistructable.
    2. All atoms of a given element are identical in mass and properties.
    3. Compounds are formed by combinations of 2 or different kinds of atoms.
    4. A chemical reaction is a rearrangement of atoms.
  • Dmitiri Mendeleev

    Dmitiri Mendeleev
    In 1869 he discovered 63 elements and created the Periodic Table to organize them.
  • J.J Thomson

    J.J Thomson
    Discovered the electron
  • Cathode Ray Tube

    Cathode Ray Tube
    Created by Karl Braun in 1897.
    Its a special, electronic vacuum tube that uses a focused electron beam to display images.
  • Niels Bohr

    Niels Bohr
    He expanded Rutherfords atomic theory by proposing that electrons travel only in certian successfuly larger orbits,
    ( Invented the Bohr Planetary Model)
  • Plum Pudding Model

    Plum Pudding Model
    Created by J.J Thomson in 1904, it suggested that the positive fluid in an atom held the negative charges, the electrons, in the atom because of electrical forces.
  • Rutherford Model

    Rutherford Model
    The Gold Foil Experiment
  • Robert Milikin

    Robert Milikin
    He created the oil drop expirement to determine the chage of an electron.
  • Gold Foil Experiment

    Gold Foil Experiment
    Created by Ernest Rutherford in 1911.
    It discovered that the atom has a central nucleus surrounded by orbiting electrons.
  • Henry Moseley

    Henry Moseley
    He discovered isotopes and improved the periodic table.
  • Bohr Planetary Model

    Bohr Planetary Model
    Proposed by Niels Bohr in 1915. It suggested that the nuetrons and protons orbit the nucleus.
  • Law of Conservation of Mass

    Law of Conservation of Mass
    Created by Antoine Lavoisier. States that in a chemical reaction, the mass of the products equals the mass of the reactants.
  • Ernest Rutherford

    Ernest Rutherford
    He was the first to establish the theory of the nuclear atom. He constructed the Gold Foil Experiment a,k,a the Rutherford Model.
  • Electron Cloud Model

    Electron Cloud Model
    Created by Erwin Schrodinger in the 1920s. In this model it states that the elctrons do not have a specific spot in the arom. They are anywhere around the nucleus.
  • Erwin Schrodinger

    Erwin Schrodinger
    He developed a powerful model of the atom.
  • Quantum Mechanical Model

    Quantum Mechanical Model
    Created by Erwin Schrodinger. It correctly defines the electrons movement with relation to the nucleus.
  • James Chadwick

    James Chadwick
    He determined that the nuetron did exist.
