I. Atomic Theory
1. Explain the law of conservation of mass in your own words. F I V E MOD ELS OF T H E ATOM Matter is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction.
2. What were Rutherford’s two main conclusions about the structure of the atom? List the piece of evidence NUCLEAR MODEL: The atom can be SOthatLID SP supportsHERE MODE EACHL: The conclusion.atom is a divided into a nucleus and electrons. The solid sphere that cannot be divided up into nucleus occupies a small amount of space at smaller particles or pieces. the center of the atom. The nucleus is dense Evidence: Most of the α-particles passed right through the gold foil without deflection. and positively charged. The electrons circle around the nucleus. The electrons are tiny Conclusion: Most of an atom is composed of empty space. and negatively charged. Most of the atom is empty space. Evidence: Some were deflected somewhat, fewer were greatly deflected, and a very few Negative bounced back toward the source. electron Positive Conclusion: There is a dense positive nucleus. nucleus
3. Draw and describeLBCTCM_01_037 the atom model of each of the following scientists. a. Dalton PROTON MODEL: The atom can be divided PLUM PUDDING MODEL: The atomDalton can thought the atom was a solid sphere that was indivisible. into a nucleus and electrons. The nucleus be divided into a fluid (the “pudding”) and occupies a small amount of space at the electrons (the “plums”). The fluid spreads The Atomic Model Through Time center of theLBCTCM_01_036 atom. The nucleus consists of out in the atom and is positively charged. protons that are positively charged. The The electrons are very tiny and negatively electrons circle the nucleus. The electrons are charged.b. Most Thomson of the atom is made of fluid. tiny and negatively charged. Most of the atom Thomson discovered the electron and, consequently, the proton. Thomson’s is empty space. Positive model of the atom is called the plum pudding model. He though that most of the Solid sphere model fluidPlum pudding model Nuclear model Dalton, 1803 Thomson,atom 1897 wasRutherford, made 1911 of positively charged fluid.

c. Rutherford
Solar system model RutherfordProton model discovered the nucleus of the atom. His model is called the nuclear Bohr, 1913 model.Rutherford, He1918 broke the atom into two regions the nucleus and the electron cloud.
