Discussion (25 minutes)

Around 400 BC, a Greek philosopher named

Democritus suggested the first atomic
theory, explaining that all things are "composed of
minute, invisible, indestructible particles of pure
matter which move about eternally in infinite
empty." Democritus of Abdera, named the building
blocks of matter “atomos”, meaning literally
“indivisible,” about 430 BCE. Although at that time
there was no technology to research Democritus'
theory of the atom, he was surprisingly accurate.
After Democritus' discovery, new evidence would
be found that would eventually lead to the modern
atomic theory. John Dalton, J.J. Thompson, Ernest
Rutherford, Niels Bohr, James Chadwick, and
Ernest Schrodinger each contributed greatly to the
modern atomic theory by finding the actual
evidence.

1803 – John Dalton, a British schoolmaster and

chemist, made inferences in the 19th century that
exhibited how atoms bond together in definite
proportions. An example of one of the tests that he
ran was measuring the proportions of hydrogen to
oxygen in different amounts of the substances.
Because the ratios were the same, Dalton was able
to say that atoms of different elements combine in
whole-number ratios. This theory, to go along with
four other theories, made up what Dalton called the
"Modern Atomic Theory." In this, Dalton stated five
different theories that he believed were true of
atoms. Included in these were two theories that
stated atoms could not be divided or destroyed, a
theory that stated different elements contain
different chemical properties, and atoms of the
same element contain the same chemical
properties. Although the two theories that
 QUEEN OF PEACE HIGH SCHOOL OF CANAN, INC.
Canan, La Paz, Abra

speculated atoms couldn't be divided were false,

Dalton contributed greatly to the advances of
atomic theory, and would greatly influence J.J.
Thompson in his own.

1897 – Sir Joseph John Thomson / J.J. Thompson

was a British scientist and the Cavendish Professor
of Physics
at the University of Cambridge. He is credited for
discovering the electron and ended up contributing
to more than the atomic theory. The television,
computer, and radar are machines that he
indirectly helped create. Thompson created a tube
that had a positively charged anode on one side
and a negatively charged cathode on the other
side. Thompson then applied a magnet to the
middle of the tube, an equal distance from the
cathode and anode, and discovered that negatively
charged particles were emanating toward the
positive magnetic field. From this, Thompson
concluded that negatively charged particles, called
electrons, were present in atoms. Thompson then
created the Plum Pudding model, which suggested
that electrons and protons were randomly placed
throughout the atom. This theory wasn't correct,
but led to the discovery of the nucleus, made by
Ernest Rutherford.

1911 – Ernest Rutherford was born in New Zealand

and was working at the University of Manchester in
England when he carried out an experiment in
which alpha particles, which were stripped
hydrogen atoms, were shot at a thin gold sheet.
Rutherford determined where the deflections of the
alpha particles would go. The results of the
experiments were somewhat revolutionary; most of
the alpha particles did not deflect off of the gold foil
and instead went straight through it. Only
1/1,000,000 particles were deflected straight back,
and just a bit higher percentage were deflected in
other angles. Based on these observations, in
1911 Rutherford proposed a revolutionary view of
the atom. He suggested that the atom consisted of
a small, dense core of positively charged particles
in the center (or nucleus) of the atom, surrounded
by a swirling ring of electrons.

1922 – Niels Bohr was a Danish scientist who

worked with Rutherford. "Bohr Theory
of the Atom" was the closest to the modern atomic
theory, and it reemphasized the idea of electrons
circling the nucleus. Bohr suggested that electrons
orbited around the nucleus in seven different
quantum levels, or shells. The evidence that Bohr
used to build this theory was the measurement of
the line spectrum emitted by hydrogen gas. Bohr
determined that different energy levels could be
found by using mathematical formulas, which
measured the wavelengths of the different energy
 QUEEN OF PEACE HIGH SCHOOL OF CANAN, INC.
Canan, La Paz, Abra

levels. Bohr went on to suggest that electrons

would only occupy the lowest possible energy level
on the respective level they were on. Furthermore,
electrons would only move up a level (increasing
energy) if the lower levels were full. Bohr's model
was not entirely correct but it would lead to
Schrodinger's idea of the modern atomic model.

1926 – Erwin Schrödinger, an Austrian physicist,

viewed electrons as continuous clouds and
introduced "wave mechanics" as a mathematical
model of the atom. Schrödinger began to think
about explaining the movement of an electron in an
atom as a wave. While working at the University of
Zürich, in 1926 he published his work, providing a
theoretical basis for the atomic model that Niels
Bohr had proposed based on laboratory evidence.
The equation at the heart of his publication became
known as Schrödinger's wave equation. Erwin
Schrodinger developed the equation which is used
today to understand atoms and molecules.

Scientists continue even today to make discoveries

about the atomic theory. As new evidence is
introduced, new ideas and theories will be
developed. Hopefully, in the years to come, the
 QUEEN OF PEACE HIGH SCHOOL OF CANAN, INC.
Canan, La Paz, Abra

world will see more people like those who helped

lead to the modern atomic theory, resulting in a
better understanding of the nature of atoms.

The class will be divided first into 6 groups and the
group will select its leaders. The leaders will be the
one to pick a chip containing the image of the
scientist from the box and that will be the scientist

provided.

The students will write what they have learn about

that scientist and what are their contributions.

After the students finished their work they will be

pasting it on the board. And someone from each
group will report on what they have worked on.
