Dalton’sAtomicTheoryofMatter

TheEnglishchemistJohnDalton(1766–1844)madeconclusionsaboutthenatureofmatterthatbecameknownasDalton’satomictheory,orDalton’spostulates.

1. Allmatterismadeofatoms.Atomsareindivisibleandindestructible.

2. Allatomsofagivenelementareidenticalbothinmassandinchemicalproperties.Theatomsofanyoneelementaredifferentfromthoseofanyotherelement.

3. Atomscombineinsimple,fixed,whole-numberratiostoformcompounds.

4. Chemicalreactionsoccurwhenatomsareseparatedfromeachother,joined,orrearrangedinadifferentcombination.Atomsofoneelement,however,areneverchangedintoatomsofanotherelementthroughachemicalreaction.

StructureoftheNuclearAtom

Dalton’satomictheoryiswidelyacceptedtoday,withoneimportantchange.Wenowknowthatatomscanbedividedintosmallerparticles.Thethreekindsofsubatomicparticlesareelectrons,protons,andneutrons.

• Electronsarenegativelychargedsubatomicparticles.

• Protonsarepositivelychargedsubatomicparticles.

• Neutronsaresubatomicparticleswithnochargebutwithamassnearlyequaltothatofprotons.

Eachelementhasitsownuniqueproperties.However,onanatomicscale,elementsareessentiallythesame.

• Everyatomisanelectricallyneutral,sphericalentity.

• Anatomiscomposedofacentralcoreofprotonsandneutrons,calledthenucleus,thatissurroundedbyelectrons.

• Aneutralatomcontainsequalnumbersofelectronsandprotons,butthisratiochangeswhenatomsbecomeions.

NuclearAtomDiscoveries

In1897,J.J.Thomson(1856–1940)discoveredthefirstsubatomicparticle,thenegativelychargedelectron,withthehelpofamodifiedcathoderaytube.Asaresult,Thomsonproposedthe“plum-puddingmodel”oftheatom.Inthismodel,electronswereevenlydistributedthroughoutanatomthatwasfilleduniformlywithpositivelychargedmaterial.

• Acathoderaytubeconsistsoftwoelectrodessealedinaglasscontainerwithgasatlowpressure.

o Whenavoltageisappliedtothecathode,aglowingbeam,orcathoderay,travelsfromthecathodetotheanode.

o Inhisexperiment,Thomsonplacedapositivelychargedplateononesideofthecathoderayandanegativelychargedplateontheotherside.

o Thecathoderaywasattractedtothepositivelychargedplate.Thomsonhypothesizedthatthecathoderaywasastreamofnegativelychargedparticlesmovingathighspeed.

o Aftertestinghishypothesis,heconcludedthatelectronsareacomponentoftheatomsofallelements.


Theplum-puddingmodelwasshort-lived.In1911,ErnestRutherford(1871–1937)discoveredapositivelychargedsubatomicparticle,theproton.Heusedthegold-foilexperimenttoprovehisconclusions.

• Thegold-foilexperimentusedanarrowbeamofalphaparticles(i.e.,particleswithadoublepositivecharge)directedataverythinsheetofgoldfoil.

o Mostofthealphaparticleswentstraightthroughthegoldfoilorwereslightlydeflected.

o Asmallfractionofthealphaparticlesbouncedoffthegoldfoilatverylargeangles.

• Rutherfordusedtheresultsofhisgold-foilexperimenttodeterminethattheatomwasmostlyemptyspace,sincemostofthealphaparticlespassedstraightthroughthegoldfoil,butthatithadaverydensenucleus,whichdeflectedsomeofthealphaparticles.
