Empedocles 492 BC- 432 BC

First time it was suggested that an object that looked pure could be composed of a combination of other things.

Page 4: Development of Atomic Theory. What is matter? Did ancient man wonder about the world in which he lived? How much did ancient man understand about matter?

The “Atomists”Leucippus and Democritus

460 BC to about 370 BC

• Coined the term “atom”, which means indivisible.

• Their followers were called “atomists”.

Page 5: Development of Atomic Theory. What is matter? Did ancient man wonder about the world in which he lived? How much did ancient man understand about matter?

Atomists believed…• Matter is made up of atoms• Atoms are indivisible solid spheres.• Atoms are indestructible (indivisible).• There are an infinite number of atoms.• There are many different types of atoms which,

differ in size, shape and temperature.• Atoms are in continual motion and always have

been.• The motion of atoms causes collisions and

collisions cause atoms to clump together. • Atoms are eternal and cannot be destroyed.

Democritus' Visions

• Earth-like worlds – with 2 suns– with no moons– with no moons and one enormous sun– with no vegetation or animals

Page 13: Development of Atomic Theory. What is matter? Did ancient man wonder about the world in which he lived? How much did ancient man understand about matter?

Aristotle 300 BC• Didn’t like that the atomists

couldn’t explain how atoms came to be in motion.

• Believed in Empedocles’ ideas of earth, air, wind, fire and ether and that matter was completely continuous.

• His followers were called Aristotelians.

• Because of Aristotle’s popularity, the Aristotelian school of thought prevailed for the next 2000 years.

Alchemists 1000-1700

• Alchemists ultimate goal was to make gold out of cheaper metals using the philosophers stone.

• In the process, they discovered a number of elements and purified others, most notably phosphorous and arsenic.

The Philosopher Stone• Though Daphne fly from Phoebus bright,

Yet shall they both be one,And if you understand this right,

You have our hidden Stone.For Daphne she is faire and white:

But Volatile is she;Phoebus a fixed God of might,

And red as blood is he.Daphne is a Water Nymph,And hath of Moysture store,

Which Phoebus doth consume with heate,And drves her very sore.

They being dryed into one,Of christall flood must drinke,

Till they be brought to a white Stone:Which wash with Virgins milke,So longe untill they flow as wax,

And no fume you can see,Then have you all you neede to aske,

Praise God and thankfull be.

Robert Boyle 1671• Was an Alchemist• Study gases and has

a gas law named after him.

• Discovered hydrogen.• Insisted that science

be based on the scientific method through carefully controlled experiments.

• Considered the “Father of Chemistry”

Page 17: Development of Atomic Theory. What is matter? Did ancient man wonder about the world in which he lived? How much did ancient man understand about matter?

Robert Boyle

New experiments physico-mechanical, touching the spring of the air, and its effects : (made for the most part, in a new pneumatical engine) written by way of letter to the Right Honorable Charles, Lord Viscount of Dungarvan, eldest son to the Earl of Corke.Oxford : Printed by H. Hall... for Tho: Robinson, 1662.

• This second edition of Boyle's work is the first to include, in an appendix, his statement of the relation of the volume and pressure in a gas that has come to be known simply as Boyle's Law.

Antoine Lavoisier 1743-1794

•Helped determine the elements in water.•Contributed to disproving the phlogiston theory.•Emphasized quantitative measurements.•Studied the mass of reactants and products.

HgO(s) Hg(s) + O2(g)

Reactant Products

He very carefully measured the mass before the reaction and after the reaction.

Lavoisier’s Law

• Through his study of mass, Lavoisier first came up with the Law of Conservation of Mass.

– Matter cannot be created or destroyed during an ordinary chemical reaction.

Conclusion

• The conclusion of Proust’s experiment is the Law of Definite Composition.

– a pure compound has a composition that doesn’t vary no matter how much of the compound is present and no matter where it came from.

Page 36: Development of Atomic Theory. What is matter? Did ancient man wonder about the world in which he lived? How much did ancient man understand about matter?

John Dalton 1803• Meteorologist and

school teacher.

• Studied the composition of different compounds made from the same elements. – Examples:

• CO and CO2

• H2O and H2O2

Dalton’s New Law…

The result of Dalton’s experiment was the Law of Multiple Proportions, which pertains to compounds that contain the same elements but in different proportions.

Examples:

NO and NO2

CuCl and CuCl2

Page 44: Development of Atomic Theory. What is matter? Did ancient man wonder about the world in which he lived? How much did ancient man understand about matter?

Law of Multiple Proportions• If two elements can combine to make different

compounds, then the ratio of the masses of the second element is a small whole number.

• Note that the ratio of the mass O : mass H for water and hydrogen peroxide is 1:2.

Substance Formula Mass H(g)

Mass 0(g)

Mass O Mass H

Water H2O 2.02 16.00 16.00 g = 7.92 2.02 g

Dalton’s Atomic Theory

1. All matter is composed of extremely small particles called atoms which cannot be subdivided, created or destroyed.

2. Atoms of a given element are identical in their physical and chemical properties.

3. Atoms of different elements differ in their physical and chemical properties.

4. Atoms of different elements combine in simple whole-number ratios to form compounds.

5. In chemical reactions atoms are combined, separated or arranged, but never created or destroyed.

JJ Thomson 1890

• Used cathode ray tube to investigate the structure of the atom.

Page 50: Development of Atomic Theory. What is matter? Did ancient man wonder about the world in which he lived? How much did ancient man understand about matter?

Thomson’s Observations• Rays came from the

cathode (-) and moved toward the anode (+).

• Rays were deflected by a magnet.

• Rays could move a paddle wheel.

• It didn’t matter what material the electrodes were made of to produce cathode rays.

• It didn’t matter which gas he used to fill the tube.

Thompson’s Conclusions

• Atoms have small negatively charged particles in them .

• Since atoms are neutral there must be a positive portion to the atom to balance the negative.

• Using his knowledge of electricity, magnetism and the laws of physics, Thomson discovered the charge to mass ratio of an electron.

Rutherford’s Indirect Observations

• Most of the alpha particles passed through the gold foil.

• A few were slightly deflected.

• A very few had large angle deflections.

• These observations were completely unexpected using the Thomson Model.

iClicker Question 15

Rutherford’s observation that most of the alpha particles passed through the gold foil and that a few were slightly deflected would lead to the conclusion that

a.an atom is mostly empty space.

b.the material of an atom is very weakly bound.

c.an atom has no solid matter.

d.an atoms in matter are bound very weakly.

iClicker Question #16

Rutherford’s observation that a very few of the alpha particles had large angle deflections would lead to the conclusion that

a. there must be something dense and negative deflecting the alpha particles.

b. there must be something dense and positive deflecting the alpha particles.

c. there must be something else in matter besides atoms.

d. there must be a leak in the alpha particle source.

Rutherford’s Conclusions

• Atoms are mostly empty space

• The center of the atom is very small but extremely dense.

• The nucleus must be positively charged.

• Today we know that the nucleus contains all the positive charge of the atom and almost all the mass, but hardly any of the volume.

Henry Moseley 1887 - 1913• English phsicist who

studied under Rutherford.

• Helped to develop x-ray spectroscopy.

• In 1913 published a paper describing how to relate atomic number to the number of theorized protons in an atom.

James Chadwick (1932)

• Discovered the neutron, a neutral particle, in the nucleus of an atom.
