Atomic Theories Chemistry Topics

Dalton’s Atomic Theory

1. All Matter (Elements) Consists of
Small Indivisible Particles Called Atoms
2. Atoms of the same elements are similar in shape and mass and differ from the atoms of other Elements.
3. Atoms can neither be created nor destroyed.
4. When Atoms Combine, they do so in simple Ratio
5. All chemical reaction involves only the separation, combination or rearrangement of Atoms.

J.J Thompson’s Atomic Theory

This is also called the Plum-pudding Model. Thompson also discovered electrons in his Cathode Ray experiment. He proposed that an atom is a sphere of positively charged matter within which negative charges are embedded.

Rutherford’s Atomic Theory

• The Atom is made up of a positively charge nucleus which is centrally located.
• Electrons revolve around the necleus in much the same way as the planets move around the sun
• The mass of the atom is concentrated in the nucleus.

Bohr’s Atomic Model

• Electrons are only allowed to occupy specific spherical orbits around the nucleus
• The orbits or energy levels are designated by K,L,M,N..
• When electron is in its allowed orbit, it gives no radiation
• Electrons emit radiations when they are move from higher to lower energy level (Lines in hydrogen spectrum)
