Democritus (460 B.C.) - an Ancient Greek philosopher who was born in Abdera‚ Thrace‚ Greece. He was an influential philosopher who formulated an atomic theory for the universe. Antoine Lavoisier (1778 & 1783) - A French nobleman and chemist central to the 18th-century Chemical Revolution and a large influence on both the histories of chemistry and biology. He recognized and named oxygen in 1778 and hydrogen in 1783 Joseph Louis Proust (1799) - a French chemist which discovered each pure compound

Niels Bohr’s model of the hydrogen atom‚ was the primary reason for the understanding of energy levels.Bohr was able to explain the bright line spectrum of hydrogen. Sparked by the recent discovery of the diffraction patterns‚ scientists believed electrons could be described as waves. Bohr hypothesized that energy is being added to the hydrogen gas in the electricity form‚ and then leaving the gas in the form of light. He figured the light rays to be quantized‚ meaning only certain frequencies of

is a central‚ unifying theme in biology because the enormously diverse forms of life on Earth have all been shaped by it An atom with an unequal number of protons and electrons is called an ion. This produces a charged atom‚ or ion. An ion is an atom with a number of electrons that is different than the number of protons. The naturally occurring helium atom is chemically inert because: its outermost shell is filled with electrons. A chemical element is uniquely identified

Answer Key of worksheet # 1 Democritus Proposes the Atom 1. The word atom comes from a Greek word that means indivisible 2. Which of the following statements is part of Democritus’s theory about atoms? a. Atoms are the smallest piece of matter. 3. We know that Democritus was right about atoms. So why did people ignore Democritus’s ideas for such a long time? Democritus’s ideas were ignored for a long time because he had no proof of the atoms existence.

Ernest Rutherford’s experiment was that he took a piece of gold foil and shot helium atoms at it. In theory they should have rebounded off of the gold foil because scientists at that time believed that the atom was a solid sphere‚ but what actually happened was that most of the atoms went through the gold foil.This showed that the atom wasn’t just a solid sphere like they believed but actually had a nucleus with electrons surrounding it. In 1897‚ a British physicist named J. J. Thomson discovered
