INSIDE THE ATOM
Three Topics: Section 1
• How scientists model the atom
• What are charged particles
• What were Rutherford’s experiments
REVIEW VOCABULARY
Matter: anything that has mass and takes up space.
New Vocabulary
anode
•
electrode with a positive charge
electron cloud
•
region surrounding the nucleus in which electrons travel
cathode
•
electrode with a negative charge
neutron
•
particle in the nucleus of an atom that has the same mass as a
proton and is electrically neutral
alpha particle
•
fast-moving, positively charge bit of matter
proton
•
positively charged particle present in the nucleus of all atoms
•
negatively charged particle located outside the nucleus of an atom
•
matter made up of only one type of atom
electron
element
FIRST THOUGHTS
• Summarize early ideas about the structure of matter
• Matter was made of tiny particles and could be
cut into smaller and smaller pieces until reaching
a piece that could not be cut any more.
• This smallest piece is an atom.
Matter is
made up of
atoms
Atoms cannot
be divided into
smaller pieces
Dalton’s Ideas
About matter
All atoms of an
element are
exactly alike
Different
elements are
made of different
kinds of atoms
Crooke’s Tube

Anode +
Crooke’s Experiments
• He connected a battery to cathode (-) and
anode (+) of a tube. He found that an object in
the middle of the tube (mask) cast a shadow in
a green glow. He concluded that the glow was
caused by rays, or streams of particles.
thomson’s experiments
Rays are bent by magnet
CATHODE RAYS
MAGNET
Thomson’s Experiments
• He placed a magnet next to the tube. The ray was
bent by the magnet, showing the ray was made of
particles, not light. He envisioned an atom as a sphere
of positive charge with negatively charged electrons
spread out evenly within. This is sometimes called The
Plum Pudding Model.
rutherford’s experiment
Rutherford’s Experiment
•
Experiment: Rutherford fired alpha particles at a thin film of gold.
A screen lit up when it was hit by a charged particle.
•
Expected Result: Almost all the alpha particles would go straight
through.
•
Actual Result: More particles bounced off than expected - some
of them straight back!
•
Conclusion: Positive and negative charges not evenly spread out.
Positive charge concentrated into a nucleus.
