A new atomic theory, in which all atoms of the same element are identical to one another and equal in mass, was proposed by the scientist Dalton. Although the theory had its flaws and was simple, it was revolutionary. Scientists became able to study the actual structure and mass of atoms after the discovery of radioactivity. Soon, isotopes were discovered, as atoms of the same element which have been built up to have different masses.…

8. In 1897, J. J. Thomson made a discovery that proved the first part of Dalton’s atomic theory was correct. True…
Chemistry was more than 100 years behind astronomy and anatomy. One chemist, Robert Boyle, found that the volume of a gas varies with the pressure exerted on it. He was also the one who discovered “little particles of all shapes and sizes”. Boyle said that these particles were the basic building blocks of everything. They come in all shapes and sizes. These particles would later be called atoms and put into the table of elements by Antoine Lavoisier. Lavoisier was able to show that chemicals combined to make things, such as oxygen and hydrogen forming water. This was the beginning of modern…
RINT Task 1 The Changing Nature of Science Part 1 Evolution of the Atomic Theory Ancient Greece •Democritus (c.470-c.380) suggested “just like the beach looks like a single substance so might all the matter be made up of tiny granules of matter” •He named those granules atoms (“atomos”- indivisible) •His ideas were forgotten for the next 2000 years…
Aristotle - DENIED IT. He is why Democritus’ atomic theory was rejected and why that theory hasn’t been expanded on for 2000 years until……
-Henry Gwyn Jeffreys Moseley- Worked with Ernest Rutherford, experimented with 38 metals, he found that the positive charge of each element’s nucleus increased by one from element to element as they were arranged in Mendeleev’s periodic table, lead to modern definition of atomic number (# of protons in atom’s nucleus) and the recognition the atomic number was basis for organization of periodic table.…
As shown throughout the research, there are many other scientists and chemists who contributed their intelligence into the development of the atomic theory. Each evaluated and revised the atomic theory over the years to incorporate new findings such as, the existence of atomic isotopes and the conversion of mass and energy. Although over several decades many have changed the atomic theory, Dalton still has an impact and his importance is relevant in the development of the atomic…
It took many scientists and philosophers hundreds even thousands of years to come up with an accurate atomic theory. For nearly 2,000 years science was unable to come up with experiments that were able to test and put forth the theories made up by Democritus which was a fifth century B.C. Greek philosopher. In 1803, John Dalton, who viewed the atom as a small solid sphere, and is credited for the developing of the first coherent atomic theory was now in the picture. This all led to the the first periodic table of the elements, and the history of the atom.…
As scientists started researching atoms, many had different ideas on what was actually going on inside the atoms and what the atoms looked like. A few of these scientists were Niels Bohr, J.J. Thompson, John Dalton, and Earnest Rutherford. These four men defined what atomic theory was with all the research and experiments they did. They each came up with ideas about atoms. John Dalton: John Dalton was born September 6, 1766.…
His discovery contributed to the model of the atom by knowing about the nucleus contains most of the mass of an atom. This discovery…
Many of Dalton's ideas were acquired from other chemists at the time, such as Antoine Lavoisier and William Higgins. However, he was the first to put the ideas into a universal atomic theory, which was undoubtedly his greatest achievement. Five main points of Dalton's Atomic Theory…
In 1913, a Danish physicist named Niels Bohr put Rutherford's findings together with the observed spectra to come up with a new model of the atom in a real leap of intuition. I believe that the Bohr’s model of atom explains well about the atomic theory, because in his experiments it is shown and explained the structure of an atom. His famous suggestion is about that the electrons orbit around the nucleus of an atom. Bohr experimented with atomic spectrum that proved his suggestion.…
One of the first founders of the idea of atoms was called Democritus, which was in 430 BC. He argued that there were an infinite number of different types of atoms. They were all different shape however they were made from the same stuff. He describes atoms as indivisible particles and also explained certain natural occurrences such as the existence of elements. Atomos (in ancient Greek) means “that which cannot be further broken down into smaller pieces”…
By researching about the atom, it has involved and formed many theories. There were many physicians who were significant people that contributed to the formation of the atom today. One of these physicians is named John Dalton. He should be considered as the most influential contributor to the atomic theory, due to the fact that he was one who formulated various theories that assist in defining the atom. There could have been numerous ways for Dalton to disarray the theories, and yet he did not.…
