Term
Democritus
Definition
Matter made up of tiny indivisible particles.
No one agreed, what held them together.
Theory came back in 17th and 18th centuries.
Term
Ben Franklin
Definition
Objects have either positive of negative charge.
Like repel, opposites attract.
Term
Antoine Lavoisier
Definition
Law of Conservation of Mass
During chemical reactions substance does not lose or gain mass.
Term
Joseph Proust
Definition
Law of Constant Composition
Compound always contains the same element in the same proportion by mass.
Term
John Dalton
Definition
Four main ideas (see paper)
Based of Democritus' experimental work.
Atomic model: atoms were small indivisible, indestructable particles. each had a certain mass, size, chemical behavior according to the element.
Term
Faraday
Definition
Electrolysis experiment.
Atoms contain particles which contain electrical charge.
Term
JJ.Thomson
Definition
Cathode Rays/tubes
Found the electron.
atoms looked like raisin bread.
Ratio electron's electrical charge to its mass.
Term
Henri Becquerel & Marie Curie
Definition
B: observed uranium displays radioactivity.
C: isolated radium and polonium (found same thing)
Phenomenon was called radiation phenomena.
Term
Ernest Rutherford
Definition
Geiger-Marsden experiment
Radioactive sample in front of 2 electrically charged plates. the ones taht went to the negative plate are alpha radiation. Positive plats are beta radiation. alpha and beta radiation are made up of particles. Alpha= 2x charge than electron
Beta= high-speed particles.
Atom much more complex than previous structures.
Term
Robert Millikan
Definition
Oil Drop Experiment
Electron is extremely light.
2000x lighter than hydrogen
