John Dalton – English Chemist – 1803
How does a mixture of atoms of different elements differ
-^
-^
-^
-^
-^
center is a positively - charged nucleus (ex:
peach)
-^
To demonstrate that you understand the conclusionsused in the development of modern atomic theory,identify how Bohr’s nuclear atom differs fromRutherford’s nuclear atom.
-^
Bohr’s model proposed that electrons occupy orbits
of different shapes.
-^
Rutherford’s model explained the physical and
chemical properties of elements, whereas Bohr’s modelonly explained the physical properties.
-^
Bohr’s model states that electrons occupy orbits with
fixed energy levels.
-^
In Bohr’s model, electrons occupy space within a
“cloud” surrounding the nucleus.
Even though the quantum model is the most recent,we still use the Bohr model to illustrate the atom inhigh school chemistry!Some specifics about the Bohr model:The Octet RuleAtoms are most stable when they have 8 electrons intheir outer shell 1
st^
energy level holds 2 electrons 2
nd
energy level holds 8 3
rd
usually holds 8 (to a max of 18) And so on…
