Topic: THE HISTORY OF THE ATOM Learning Competency: Explain the history of atom
All matter consists of atoms, which are bits of matter too small to be seen.
There is an empty space between atoms
Atoms are completely solid
Atoms have no internal structure
Each atom (of a different substance) is different in size, weight and shape.
Timeline: 1800’s
Scientist: John Dalton
John Dalton was the first to adapt Democritus’ theory into
the first modern atomic model.

J.J Thomson was an excellent physicist and thus did not stop
when he had found this negative charge. Through a series of
clever experiments he was able to predict the mass of this charge.
SCIENTIFIC INTERPRETATION AT ITS BEST
He then found out that this charge was 1000 times lighter that a hydrogen atom. He made a
bold statement saying that this negative charge must be inside an atom. This negative charge (he
2. Each atom is a sphere filled with positively charged ‘fluid’. This resembles the sticky jam part of a
pudding.
3. Corpuscles (later called electrons), are the negatively charged particles suspended in this ‘fluid’.
This resembles the plums in the pudding.
