PRESENTATION OUTLINE

DEMOCRITUS (400B.C)

  • He believed all matter consisted of very small particle.
  • he discovered the atom!
  • he said everything was made up of little particles we can't see.
  • Principles of the conservation of energy and their invereducibility of matter

ARISTOTLE (384-322B.C)

  • all atoms were made up of 4 elements .
  • the elements are wind,air,water,and fire
  • matter had four properties which are cold, hot,wet,and dry.
  • Provide us with the knowledge of natural science including physics on astronomy
  • Aristotle believed that cell matter was made up of "The Four elements" which are fire,earth,air and water. but he didn't have any proof to support his theory.

ANTOINE LAVOISIER (1700'S)

  • He made the combustion theory which was based on measurement of sound mass.
  • Mass can not be created nor destroyed.
  • Some people consider him the father of chemistry
  • his findings didn't change the current atom model of his timeline, it just added another element.
  • he found 2 elements that made up water.

JOSEPH LOUIS PROUST (1799)

  • discovered when you have a compound it has the same element.
  • discovered sugar
  • law of proportions parts always have some proportions.
  • has a law named after him Proust law's

JOHN DALTON (1830)

  • studied the behaviors of gases. came up with 5 principals
  • 1.) all matter is made up of invisible atoms. 2.) all atoms are given elements are identical
  • third one atoms of different elements differ. fourth one is atoms of different elements combined the fifth one chemical reactions happen by combinations, separation,or rearrangements.
  • still believed that the atom was the smallest unit of matter, it couldn't be broken down.
  • he believed in Democritus' theory of the atom looked like a marble.

Michael Faraday (1832)

  • made demonstration between electric field and the magnetic field.
  • Realized importance of electrical forces in compounds at a very young age.
  • Discovered electrical forces hold a atom together.

MARIE&PIERRE CURIE (1896)

  • Studied radioactivity
  • Became splitting of unstable atoms.
  • Found out strength of radiation didn't depend on the compound.
  • discovered radium.
  • finding the atomic mass of an atom.

HENRI BECQUEREL (1896)

  • He made scientist have to change their ideas.
  • There's alpha,beta,gamma types of radioactivity.
  • discovered uranium provided X-ray radiation which led to discover radioactivity
  • showed that the atom wasn't univible

J.J THOMSON (1897)

  • Discovered electrons in the atom could be shown.
  • So atoms were not invisible.
  • Discovered the electron using the cathode ray tube.
  • 1904 he thought the atom was a sphere
  • Also created a mass spectrograph which found the isotopes.

MAX PLANCK (1900)

  • Quantum theory which explains the construct of energy states atoms
  • Used idea quanta explain hot glowing matter.
  • A spectrum is determined on temperature.

ALBERT EINSTEIN (1905)

  • Proved the existence of atoms.
  • Also she'd the strength of the atomic force which was mass which could be changed for radiation
  • His research led up to the atom bomb

ROBERT MILLIKAN (1908-1917)

  • Studied Basic properties of electrons
  • Found charge of electricity
  • "Falling drop method" measure of constant charge and quanta electrons
  • Responsible for finding the charge of a single elcetron.

ERNEST RUTHERFORD (1911-1919)

  • Found out the nucleus was dense, small and positively charged.
  • Using "gold foil" experiment he found out some positively charged particles go through
  • Others don't from hitting positively charged particles
  • theory the atom was positive nucleus with negative electrons orbiting around it.
  • Changed the atom greatly because it was now known that most of the atoms weight is in the nucleus

NIELS BHOR (1922)

  • proposed a new atom model that would allow the electrons to be outside the nucleus
  • said that electrons on a special orbit
  • His model was known as the Bohor model

JAMES CHADWICK (1932)

  • provided the existence of neutrons.
  • effected the atom model greatly because another substance particle was found in the atom.
  • changed the way the atom was viewed.
