Homework Read pgs. 106-109 and complete pg. 106 #14

Today in Class

Today in class, we worked on and finished up the Atomic Scientists worksheet. We will be able to use this on the upcoming quiz, so it is important to take good notes on scientists and their contributions to the development of the atomic theory.
We were told by Mr. Paek that are goggles needed to be in Zipblock bags incase of spread of pink eye or infection. If anyone has not done so, make sure to do it tomorrow in class.

Next, we took notes on a powerpoint that was all about the four atomic scientists. The first scientist was Dalton, who in the early 1800s contributed the solid sphere model. He concluded that each element is made of atoms, atoms of one element are identical, compounds are made from different elements in whole number ratios, and that chemical reactions involve the rearrangement of atoms. The next scientist was J.J Thomson who concluded in 1897 that negative atoms must have a negative charge, and negative is negative, with overall neutrality, then must also have a positive change. He found this out by holding a magnet to sides of a tube and noticed a bend in the light. The positive side attracted the beam and the negative side repelled the beam. Another scientist was Ernest Rutherford, who in 1911 shot an alpha particle (positive charge)through gold foil. Most all went through some had deflected. He found all atoms have a tiny positive center called the Nucleus. The last scientist was Niel Bohr who in 1914 found that electrons "orbit" around. Electrons move around the nucleus in a cloud.
