To assist in the understanding of what we know about the atom, you will be creating a timeline reflecting the development of the scientific model of the atom. The model has changed through new discoveries by philosophers and scientists in physics as well as chemistry. You're assignment is to research the major contributions and significant discoveries that have impacted the atomic model and develop a timeline. 1. Include at least the following scientists and groups: Alchemists Ernest Rutherford Albert Einstein The Curies Aristotle John Dalton Geiger J.J.Thompson Neils Bohr Glen Seaborg Chadwick Otto Hahn Lavoisier Lise Meitner Coulomb W.K. Roentgen Max Planck 2. Include the following pictorial models of atom: A. Indivisible, solid sphere model B. Electron cloud model C. Planetary cloud model D. Plum (raisin) pudding model E. Rutherford’s nuclear model 3. Chronological, in sequence, with dates clearly shown. 4. Contain, through pictures and/or explanations the significant contributions and experiments of those scientists and atomic models listed above. 5. Produce a computer generated timeline. |
