They called this particle atoms meaning indivisible and concluded that there were infinite types of atoms with different shapes and sizes depending on the material they created. For example, iron was made up with hard particles with hooks that linked to one another forming a strong bond.

Valuable Values Fun Fact: Democritus is also know as the laughing philosopher due to his strong belief in the value of cheerfulness.]]> 2016-09-18 15:39:22 UTC https://padlet.com/orbanm19/CH4MO/wish/124569780 orbanm19 https://padlet.com/orbanm19/CH4MO/wish/124570268 2016-09-18 15:49:18 UTC https://padlet.com/orbanm19/CH4MO/wish/124570268 orbanm19 https://padlet.com/orbanm19/CH4MO/wish/124570301 ----]]> 2016-09-18 15:49:51 UTC https://padlet.com/orbanm19/CH4MO/wish/124570301 orbanm19 https://padlet.com/orbanm19/CH4MO/wish/124570342 John Dalton expanded on Democritus's theory that all atoms are indivisible and added that each atom of an element had a certain weight. So, all hydrogen atoms have the same weight and all oxygen atoms have the same weight but the weights of all elements are different. This led to him creating a "Table of Atomic Weights." As well as this, Dalton theorized that atoms never transformed into different types of atoms and they all had the same shape of a sphere. To support all of his claims, Dalton  used evidence from all of his experiments done as a chemist and teacher.

Thomson then measured the heat of the cathode rays to find the mass of the particles that created the light and found that they were 1000 times lighter than the mass of hydrogen. This led to his discovery of corpuscles or as we call them today, electrons. However, since these "corpuscles" were negatively charged he ended up with the theory that the electrons themselves occupy a positively charged space which causes atoms to be neutral. In his model, the positively charged area was represented as the cake of plum pudding and the electrons inside were the bits of fruit randomly floating in the pudding.

Mole-Cool Fun Fact: Thomson was admitted to Owens College at the young age of fourteen.]]> 2016-09-18 16:08:01 UTC https://padlet.com/orbanm19/CH4MO/wish/124571418 orbanm19 https://padlet.com/orbanm19/CH4MO/wish/124572976 2016-09-18 16:35:25 UTC https://padlet.com/orbanm19/CH4MO/wish/124572976 orbanm19 https://padlet.com/orbanm19/CH4MO/wish/124573009 ----]]> 2016-09-18 16:35:59 UTC https://padlet.com/orbanm19/CH4MO/wish/124573009 orbanm19 https://padlet.com/orbanm19/CH4MO/wish/124573019 Earnest Rutherford took Thomson's theory and put it to the test with the Geiger–Marsden experiment. The experiment took alpha particles which were produced by the decay of radium and aimed them at a thin piece of gold foil. According to Thomson's theory all of the particles should've passed through the tin foil. However, Rutherford looked for particles with high deflection angles and found them but they were very scarce. This led him to believe that there was a very small positively charged piece of an atom surrounded by negatively charged electrons which he called the nucleus. He also theorized that the majority of an atom's mass resided in the nucleus of the atom. In his model a center positively charged nucleus is shown with negatively charged electrons orbiting around it.

He derived a theory of the position of electrons based on calculations of the proportions of alpha particles that went through the foil, were slightly deflected, and those that shot straight back. This investigation was inspired by Einstein's and Max Planck's mathematical representation of an atom. The Bohr Model he developed shows the nucleus in the center of an atom and different rings around it laced with different numbers of electrons depending on the element represented.

The theory states that electrons have properties of waves and particles and properties of neither. Schrödinger used this theory to determine that the location and momentum of an electron could not be determined therefore one's location would be a matter of probability. The model that was thereafter created shows the nucleus of an atom surrounded by a cloud of electrons. The denser parts of the cloud are where electrons would be more likely to be found and the less dense would mean less likely.
