1. Chapter one (pdf from your former teacher.

2. Periodic table of elements

3. Cite the contribution of John Dalton toward the understanding of the concept of chemical elements.

JOHN Dalton suggested that all matter was comprised of indivisible and


indestructible atoms with distinct masses and properties, the combination of
which determined the physical nature of their constituent elements

4. Explain how Dalton's theory contributed to the discovery of other elements.

  based on daldon's theory on the law of conservation of mass and the


law of constant composition. The first of his theory states that all
matter is made of atoms, which are indivisible and the part of the theory
says all atoms of a given element are identical in mass and properties

5. John Dalton's Biography

 =John Dalton ( september 6 1766- july 27 1844) was an English chemist, physicist, and
meteorologist, best known for introducing the atomic theory into chemistry and for his work on
human optics.
 Father of atomic theory

6. Cite the contribution of notable scientists to the understanding of the structure of the atoms.

John Dalton

-is known for his atomic theory

 Dalton's Atomic Theory


J.j Thomson

-discovered corpuscles ( now known as electrons )

Ernest Rutherford

-discovered the nucleus

Mendeleev

*Mendelevium is an element from the periodic table

Neil Bohr

A. Bohr's Atomic Theory

-electrons travel in separate orbits

-number of electrons determine the properties of the element

7. Point out main ideas in the discovery of the structure of the atom and its subatomic particles.

 Atoms are composed of smaller subatomic particles such as the


proton, neutron, and electron.

 Atoms contain a nucleus surrounded by an electron cloud that consists


of one or more energy levels.

8. Describe the nuclear model of the atom and the location of its major components (protons, neutron
and electrons)

 the nuclear atom, the protons and neutrons, which comprise nearly all
of the mass of the atom, are located in the nucleus at the center of the
atom. The electrons are distributed around the nucleus and occupy
most of the volume of the atom
