Atomic History
Storyboard Text
- Hello! I am Democritus. I was the first ever person to even discover that our Earth is made up of tiny particles surrounded by empty space. I also knew that particles varied in size and shape. I named them "Atomos". Very fancy of me, huh? One more question, How do I get down from here?
- 1897
- 400 BC
- 1808
- Hey, I'm John Dalton. I'm also lost in New York right now but, that's not the point. I made the first atomic theory. I believe that atoms are indivisible and indestructible. I also helped discover atomic mass with a few other awesome scientists like myself. Where can I find a Deli around here cause I am hungry.
- 1869
- I am Dmitri Mendeleev. I created something called the periodic table. There were already 63 elements laid out for me so I can sort them by atomic mass onto a table. Speaking of Table, I have to go see Lady Elizabeth but she is always late.
- Hello. I am JJ Thomson, and boy do I love pudding. I made a model after my favorite food. Pudding, of course. The raisins are the negative electrons and the dough contains the positive charge. I was the first to discover that there are negative particles in the atom. Will you excuse me, I really need to use the bathroom.
- I discovered that there was a center to an atom. I proved Thomson's yummy pudding theory incorrect. I concluded that the atom consisted of a small, dense, positively charged nucleus which is the center of the atom. Electrons surround the nucleus while other particles are inside. Speaking of pudding, I hope he made some for me. I am Ernest Rutherford, pardon me for forgetting to introduce myself.
- 1910 and 1911
- 1932
- Howdy. I am James Chadwick and I discovered that Neutrons are found inside the nucleus. Expanding on Rutherford's theory. Neutrons did not have any charge whatsoever. Therefore they were neutral but neutron sounded a lot better. I need to find a cab and fast because I'm getting way too cold.
