The document summarizes the development of atomic models over time from Dalton's billiard ball model to the current quantum mechanical model. It describes Dalton's idea that atoms are indivisible and specific to elements. It then discusses Thomson's plum pudding model with electrons dispersed in a cloud, Rutherford's discovery of the nucleus with alpha particle scattering experiments, Bohr's planetary model with quantized electron orbits, and Schrodinger's quantum mechanical model with electrons in probability clouds called orbitals.

MAGLIQUIANG, FRANCHESKA N. 12 STEM NEWTON 2 ASSIGNMENT #1 IN GEN CHEM.

SOLID SPHERE MODEL


1 "BILLIARD BALL MODEL"
8 The name "atom" derives from the
Greek word "atomos," which means
0 "indivisible," and Dalton drew inspiration
from this concept. According to his idea,
3 JOHN compounds are combinations of many
sorts of atoms and that atoms are
indivisible, identical, and specific to a
DALTON given element.

PLUM PUDDING MODEL


1
9 In 1897, Thomson made the discovery
of atoms' electrons, which he referred to
as "corpuscles," for which he was
0 awarded the Nobel Prize. The "plum
pudding" model of the atom was
4 J.J
afterwards created by him. It
demonstrates that the atom is made up
of electrons dispersed across a globular
THOMSON cloud of positive charge.

1 NUCLEAR MODEL
Rutherford bombarded a tiny layer of
9 gold foil with positively charged alpha
particles. Most were deflected only
1 slightly, but some were deflected at
significant angles. This was only feasible
if the atom's nucleus, which contains
1 ERNEST the majority of the positive charge, had
mostly empty space.
RUTHERFORD

1 PLANETARY MODEL
Bohr changed Rutherford's atomic
9 structure model by positing that
electrons orbited the nucleus at fixed
1 velocities and energy. In this paradigm,
electron energy was quantized, and
5 NIELS electrons could not exist at energies
between the established energy levels.
BOHR

QUANTUM MECHANICAL
1 MODEL
9 According to Schrödinger, electrons
flow around the nucleus in waves
2 rather than along predetermined
pathways. The exact location of the
electrons cannot be determined;
8 ERWIN instead, we have 'clouds of probability'
termed orbitals in which an electron is
SCHRODINGER more likely to be found.
