    Topic: Atomic Theory


    Aim: By completing this activity, students will learn how the understanding
    of the atom progressed throughout history and how scientific models change
    with the introduction of new evidence.
    Complete each of the task below and submit it on google classroom.
    1- Watch the videos - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thnDxFdkzZs and
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07yDiELe83Y
    Use the information given in the videos and the internet to complete the timeline below of the discoveries by
    inserting images and information as needed. Double click to activate diagram. The first one has been done
    for you.
    Scientist name list (not in order) : Democritus - Erwin Schrodinger (electron cloud model) - J.J. Thomson
    (plum pudding model) - Niels Bohr (electron shell model) - John Dalton (atomic theory) - Ernest Rutherford
    (planetary model). Feel free to conduct some google searches of your own in addition to the video. The
    article referenced in #2 has some good information as well, especially on Dalton’s atomic theory.

    2- Read the article - Discovery of the electron and nucleus.


    Complete the table below to compare/contrast the Thomson and Rutherford models.

    Experiment He used Cathode tubes. Cathode ray Rutherford fired a thin beam of alpha

    direction of the gold foil.

    What happened Thomson placed two oppositely-charged When alpha particles hit it, almost all of
    in the electric plates around the cathode ray. the alpha particles passed straight

    Mass? floating in the positive soup.

    3- Play with the simulation, Rutherford Scattering. First select the Rutherford atom. Change between either
    atomic and/or nuclear view. Select the trace button. Examine what happens when you change the alpha’s
    energy, number of protons, and number of neutrons. After that look at the plum-pudding atom.
    Complete the table below to compare and contrast the two models. Shaded field are meant to be blank.
