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!
Next Scriber: Maddy M.
