democritus
- 400bc
- world made of tiny INDIVISABLE particles called atomos.
- not experimental
-
dalton
- early 1800s
- each element composed of small particles called atoms
- all atoms of a given element are identical to one another in mass and properties
- atoms not changed durring reactions (not created or destroyed)
- compounds formed when more than one element combine; compunds always have same relative number and kinds of atoms
-
law of constant composition
- dalton
- relative number and kinds of atoms constant in compound
-
law of conservation of mass or matter
- dalton
- atoms neither created nor destroyed
- mass before=mass after reaction
-
law of multiple proportions
- two elements can combine in different proportions but they mae different compounds
- dalton
-
fundamental principal in chem
particles with same charge repel, opposite attract
-
jj thompson
- late 1800s
- discovered electrons aka smaller than atom things
- didn't see them but caused cathodes to flouresce
- how tv work
- also calculated charge to mass ratio
-
robert millikan
- 1909
- measured electron charge by seeing that data was multiples of the charge
- oil drop experiment
- could determine mass with thompson's calculations
-
marie curie
- discovered radioactivity
- spontaneous emmision of radioactive isotopes
-
ernest rutherford
- discovered alpha, beta, gama rays because of diff response to electric field
- disproved jj thompson's plumb puding model
- determined that nucleus was small, dense, positive, atom 10000 larger than nucleus
-
gold foil experiment
- rutherford
- passed alpha particles through gold sheet
- most went through, some deflected
- discovered protons
-
discovered neutrons
