Wednesday 9/29/10

Modern View-electrons can be in ground or excited states and can jump between levels. When electrons drop levels (high to low) they give of a beam of light! Its like bees in a beehive and bees are electrons moving around the nucleus like a cloud. Similar to the picture above
Niel Bohr from 1914 discovered that electons(-charge) "ORBIT" around positive nucleus in different- ORBITALS(levels). Electrons can jump up and down these levels. As seen above.

Rutherford discovered all atoms have tiny positive centers(nucleus).
Ernest Rutherford from the early 1900's shot alpha particles(+ charge) through gold foil as shown in the picture above. Most of them went through but some deflected and these some were - charged particles!

Joseph John Thomson or J.J. from 1897 studied cathode ray tubes. He would excite the gas in the tubes with electricity. He would hold a magnet to the sides of the tube noticing a bend in the light (+ side attracted beam, - side repelled beam). He discovered that atoms must have a negative(-) charge and if that, then with overall neutrality, they must also have a positive(+) charge. This is demonstrated in his model above.John Dalton was an english schoolteacher from the early 1800's. He thought that each element was mad of elements, an atom of one element would be identicle to an atom of the same element. Also atoms do not include the existence of the nucleus, dosen't explain the existence of ions or isotopes, and dose not talk about subatomic particles (electrons, protons, and neutrons). His view of the atom looked something like the picture above.

Today we started off class by finishing the notes from yesterday on the Atomic scientists (Dalton, Rutherford, Thomson, and Bohr). You may look at yesterdays scribe for what they look like and foe more help.

After that Mr. Paek gave a lecture on the four scientists, their major contributions, what they discovered about the atom, and their actomic model. As shown above^ NOTE: start from the bottom picture and read up!!
no homework! lab test due by next friday!
