Task 1 Basic Chemistry

1. Do you think any of these atomic models are wrong or more correct than others?
= No, I don’t think so

2. Why must these atomic models exist.... Why not only one atomic model to be
studied?
= As we know there are many models of the atom from several scientists. why don't
we just study one model because all the atomic models put forward by scientists are
interrelated from the beginning of the discovery of the atom to the discovery of the
constituent parts of the atom. it goes hand in hand with advanced technology and
knowledge from previous researchers. so it is very unfortunate if we only study one
atomic model which has a very long history from previous scientists

3. Write down the background and experiments that support each of these atomic
models
= Democritus as the first scientist is credited with coming up with the atom. The
question was, what would happen if you keep taking something (like a tree) and
breaking into smaller and smaller pieces? Would it always be a piece of a tree?
Could you keep breaking it into smaller and smaller pieces? Democritus that has said
if you keep breaking it down, you would get to a size that could no longer be broken.
This would be the indivisible piece. In Greek, atomos = indivisible.
a. Dalton model’s
Dalton make some statement :
- Stuff can be broken into elements (the things listed on the periodic table).
- Elements are atoms with different masses.
- Compounds are a combinations of elements.
Basically, Dalton just expanded on the Greek idea of the atom. An atom is a
small things, and there are different masses with different properties.
b. J. Jonah Jameson Thomson
Thomson took the idea of the atom and tried to incorporate the evidence for
the electron. In this model, the electrons are the small things and the rest of the
stuff is some positive matter. This is commonly called the plumb pudding
model because the electrons are like things in positive pudding.
c. Rutherford Scattering
Rutherford's experiment prompted a change in the atomic model. If the
positive alpha particles mostly passed through the foil, but some bounced back.
And if they already knew that the electron was small and negative, then the
atom must have a small positive nucleus with the electrons around them.
d. Bohr Model
Early physicist thought of the electron in an atom a lot like a planet orbiting
the Sun. The key difference is that the electron (in the Bohr model) orbits due to
an electric interaction and not a gravitational interaction. Well, the other
difference in the Bohr model is that the electron can not orbit (if it does orbit,
which it doesn't) at any distance and any energy. Here is the essence of the Bohr
model.
 The important point is that this model agrees with the following evidence:
b. Electrons are small and negatively charged
c. Protons are in the nucleus with is small compared to the size of the atom
d. For a particular element, only certain frequencies (colors) of light are
absorbed or emitted.

4. Make a conclusion from the previous three questions

= So that we conclude there is no atom model’s gonna wrong cause scientists build
models when new evidence is collected then models change. And these scientists get
new discoveries with the help of the discovery of old models so that the models are
interconnected.
