Compounds are formed by combining atoms in ratios of whole numbers 5. Chemical reactions are rearrangements of atoms CHARGE CONCEPT AND HISTORY • The Greeks also knew when certain materials (for example, amber (elektron)) were rubbed, a force could make some attract and some repel. • William Gilbert (1544-1603) – wrote De Magnete, in which he coined “electrius” (of amber) to describe attractive properties of charged materials ATOMIC MODEL - HISTORY • Democritus (ca. 460B.C.-370B.C.) – Theory of Atomic (Discrete) Matter • John Dalton (1766-1844) – Atomic Chemistry • Joseph Thomson (1856-1940) – Discovered negative “corpuscles” accelerated enough in cathode ray tubes to suggest they were 2000x lighter than H atoms Plum Pudding Model: Electrons thought to be small negative charges immersed in the positive interior of an atom • Thompson used electric plates and magnets in cathode ray tubes to determine e/me ATOMIC MODEL - HISTORY • Democritus (ca. 460B.C.-370B.C.) – Theory of Atomic (Discrete) Matter • John Dalton (1766-1844) – Atomic Chemistry • Joseph Thomson (1856-1940) – Plum Pudding Model of Atom • Exercise: Combine fundamental constants !", e, %" and & for the electron and photon into a length scale, i.e., the classical electron radius [)] + , [3] + 4 6 " 8 + 4 6 " 8 , 2 7 7 !" = , ⟹ !"/ = 0 1 = , ⟹ = , ⟹ 8 = [1] [-] [5] 97 5 97 : , B , , EFB , , !"/ 8.99 ? 10 N ? m /C 1.60 ? 10 C EFN ;" = , = E4F K , = 2.80 ⋅ 10 m %"& 9.11 ⋅ 10 kg 3.00 ⋅ 10 m/s ATOMIC MODEL - HISTORY • Democritus (ca. 460B.C.-370B.C.) – Theory of Atomic (Discrete) Matter • John Dalton (1766-1844) – Atomic Chemistry • Joseph Thomson (1856-1940) – Plum Pudding Model of Atom • Ernest Rutherford (1871-1937) – Fired positive !-particles at a few atoms thick gold foil sheet, and some recoiled backwards (imagine a cannonball recoiling from tissue) • Exercise: What would be the mass of a H atom if the nucleus were filled without empty space all the way up to the electron and were the size of a marble? + 45 + *#$%&'( 10 m 459 < "#$%&'( = + "0 ≈ 478 + 10 kg = 10 kg *,-.'(-/ 10 m HIERARCHY OF SCALES • Modern physics spans an astounding range of scales from quantum to cosmological Observable ? e- ?
