Atomic Comic 2
Storyboard Text
- Your theory was great. However, I don't agree with atoms not having an electrical charge. The shock you receive from the doorknob can prove that atoms do have electrical charges.
- Dalton
- You know what! Who cares about your opinion. Most people agree with me so your opinion doesn't matter. You don't have any proof anyways.
- Faraday
- The Dalton theory seems so fishy. I think that I should investigate whether atoms have electrical charges.
- Is this guy a joke.
- Are you positive?
- Faraday
- The electrical forces must be responsible for joining the atoms in the compound. It seems like two positive charges or two negative charges do not attract but one positive and one negative charge attract. Now I can revise Dalton's theory!

- Atoms have Positive and Negative Charges

- No Attraction
- No Attraction
- Good job Micheal! Everything in your life is going to be positive after this discovery. Before it was so negative.
- Although Dalton had recognized that atoms of a particular element differ from other elements, he was wrong about how atoms did not have an electrical charge. His theory had not accounted for the shock that people received from the doorknob- the phenomenon of static electricity.
- Faraday
- Why hello Mr. Dalton! I have come here to tell you about my modified theory after my successful experiment. There are three things that I have added to your theory: Matter must contain positive and negative charges. Opposite charges attract, and similar charges repel. Atoms combine to form the particles of a compound because of the electrical attraction between charged atoms.
- Hmm? So a part of my theory was wrong after all.
-
- In the 1830's Micheal Faraday proved the electric charges existed in atoms while working at the Royal Institution in Great Britain.
- JJ Thomson
- Positively charged matter
- 1830-1839 Royal Institution, Britain
- The Raisin-Bun Atomic Model
- Corpuscles scattered throughout
- Wow! Those really are corpuscles scattered throughout the atom. It definitely matches my drawing and the name "raisin-bun" too. I should create an atomic theory after this.
- Who took my raisin-bun!!! I was going to eat it for lunch.Was it you Mr.Thomson! I remember seeing it minutes ago.
- Faraday placed two opposite electrodes in a solution of water containing a dissolved compound. He observed one of the elements of the dissolved compound accumulated on one electrode, and the other element was deposited on the opposite electrode.
- JJ Thomson
- Hello Tom! Have you heard about JJ Thomson's new Atomic Theory? He states that atoms contain electrons, electrons have a negative charge and very small mass, and that the rest of the atom is positively charged.
- Yes I know that. Don't Forget that he also said electrons in a atom are embedded randomly in the positive part of the atom, and that electrons can be removed from, or added to atoms to create charged atoms
- Why are these kids mentioning my theory. I didn't know that I would become this famous.
- Faraday modified Dalton's theory to include his ideas based on his independently conducted experiment. Due to his experiment, scientists in our present time now understand that atoms have positive and negative charges .
- In 1897 Thomson discovered negatively charged electrons in atoms which he called "corpuscles". He created an atomic model afterwards, widely known now as the "raisin bun" in which the bun represented positively charged matter while the raisins represented negatively charged electrons are scattered throughout.
- 1897 Cheetham Hill, UK
- By 1904, Thomson's "raisin bun" became accepted by most scientists, and his revision to the Atomic Theory became well-known in society.
