    modern atomic theory. Although much of his theory is still true today‚ one point was disproved by Ernest Rutherford. Dalton’s atomic theory had several parts to it. He believed atoms were indivisible‚ or impossible to break down into smaller particles. Also‚ he said elements are all consisted of atoms and that the atoms of each element are different from each other. All of the atoms of the same element are identical‚ but different from atoms of other elements. According to Dalton’s theory‚ these

    of different elements have different masses‚ and that they are solid‚ indestructible units - much like a billiard ball .He called his model the " Billiard Ball model" because he thought that atoms looked like billiard balls from pool. Dalton’s Atomic Theory included five main points. Atoms:  Make up all matter.  Cannot be subdivided‚ created‚ nor can they be destroyed. They can simply be rearranged into different groups.  Of a given element are identical‚ while atoms of different elements vary

    Democritus was the first scientist to create a model of the atom as well as the first to discover that all matter is made up of indivisible particles called atoms. His belief in atoms was that atoms were small‚ hard particles that were all made of the same material but were different shapes and sizes. Furthermore he believed that atoms were infinite in shape‚ in number‚ always moving and capable if joining together. Unlike Democritus’s belief‚ Aristotle’s belief about the atom were completely different

    Atomic Theory Essay We are first going to talk about Protons‚Neutrons and Electrons. These three elements are a very good example of most things that are in use of gas fumes. It all started when Protons and neutrons where‚ Protons were discovered by Experimenting with discharging tubes. Eventually they found out the rest of the Atoms over time. Which brings me into the word of Orbital. Orbital is a Neutron‚ electron or a proton Going around a single atom with certain amounts of energy levels. Which

    1. a) Democritus reasoned that if matter could be infinitely divided‚ it was also subject to complete disintegration from which it can never be put back together. However‚ matter can be reintegrated. b) In Greek‚ the prefix "a" means "not" and the word "tomos" means cut. Our word atom therefore comes from atomos‚ a Greek word meaning uncuttable. All matter is composed of atoms‚ which are bits of matter too small to be seen. These atoms CANNOT be further split into smaller portions. 2. At

    multiple scientists that contributed to the creation of the first Atomic Theory: Democritus‚ Antoine Lavoisier‚ Joseph Proust‚ and John Dalton. Dalton took the information that he had taken from the three scientists prior to him and put everything into one theory. The Atomic Theory is the most well-known and accurate theory we know right now. Later on in history‚ more scientists came to contribute to the understanding of the Atomic Structure. These scientists included: Sir J.J. Thomson‚ Robert Millikan
