Chemistry 12-4-15 Structure of the Atom

CHEMISTRY – Chocolate chip cookie dough model of the atom? Here’s the lecture from Friday on how scientists began to determine the structure of the atom and the existence of subatomic particles. For each, make sure you know the name of the scientists, the name of their experiments, be able to draw a diagram of their experiment, and describe how they interpreted the experimental results that led to their discoveries. Wow, that’s a mouthful!

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you were not in class today, Friday, you must watch this vodcast to get the notes from this section!!

Also, here are some video clips that I want everyone to watch that will help you understand the lesson from today. Click here for the video on the Cathode Ray Tube Experiment that Thompson did, and also for the video clips that I want you to watch on The Discovery of the Electron and The Discovery of the Nucleus. All of these will be great tools in studying for the test!
