Chemist
• Proposed his
atomic theory in
1808
All matter is
composed of tiny,
indivisible particles
called atoms
Postulate 1
Atoms of a given
element are
identical
Postulate 2
Atoms of a given
element are
different from those
of any other
element
Postulate 3
Atoms of different
elements combine in
simple whole-number
ratios to form
chemical compounds
Postulate 4
Examples:
CO2
Cu(NO3)2
H2O
H2O
2 Hydrogen
1 Oxygen
Fe(NO3)2
Fe(NO3)2
1 Iron
2 Nitrogen
6 Oxygen
Let’s do our last postulate…
Atoms cannot be
created or destroyed. In
chemical reactions,
atoms are combined,
separated, or
rearranged
Postulate 5
Where Dalton was Wrong!
2 of Dalton’s postulates
are not exactly correct.
Which are they?
Every atom of a given element
always has one thing that is the
same. What is it?
The same
number of
protons
J.J. Thomson’s Cathode Ray
Experiment
• British Physicist
• Performed his
experiments in the late
1800s
• Until this time, it was not
believed that the atom
was composed of
various parts
J.J. Thomson
• Discovered atoms
contain electrons
in 1897 by using a
cathode ray tube

Plum Pudding Model
• New Zealander
• In 1911
performed his
gold foil
experiment
The Gold Foil
Experiment
Observations from gold foil
experiment:
1)Most of the alpha particles
passed through the gold foil un-
deflected
2)Very few bounced back (great
deflection)

Rutherford’s Conclusion:
1912
Convinced atom
was small positive
nucleus with
electrons orbiting
around it
• Constructed model of
the hydrogen atom
Bohr Model
with quantized energy
levels (electrons can
only exist on certain
energy levels/rings)
Pros and Cons of the Bohr Model
Pros:
+The model Con:
gives us a clear -Electrons DO NOT
visual of the move around the
atom nucleus in circular
+Accurate orbits like planets
model for orbiting the sun
