Learning Activities
A. Introduction Day 1 In the previous module, you learned about the different states of matter
Panimula namely solid, liquid and gas. You also discovered the properties and physical
changes it undergoes. In this module, you learn about the tiny particles matter
is made up of. Those tiny particles are called atoms. What then are atoms?
And how do scientists discover atoms? These are the questions that will be
able to answer at end of the lesson.

B. Development Day 1 All matter is made up of atoms. Atoms are made up of subatomic particles
Pagpapaunlad namely, protons and neutron (which are inside the nucleus of an atom) and
electrons. The nucleus is the center of the atom which contains the protons
(positively-charged particles) and neutrons (neutral or no charge particle)
while electrons (negatively-charged particles) move around the nucleus.
This idea had only been found recently since a century ago, scientists were
still debating what an actual atom looks like. The following are the models
proposed for an atom.
In 400 BC, Democritus, a Greek philosopher said that all atoms are small, hard
particles. The word atom comes from the Greek word "atomos" which means
"not able to be divided". He proposed that atoms were made of a single
material formed into different shapes and sizes.
In 1803, John Dalton proposed that elements (substances composed of only
one type of atom) combine in certain proportions to form compounds.
In 1897, a British scientist named J. J. Thomson
proposed the plum-pudding (or raisin bread)
atomic model. This states that atoms contain
negatively charged electrons embedded
within a sea of positive charge. J.J. Thomson
experimented with a cathode-ray tube which
had a positively charged plate. The plate
attracted negatively charged particles that we
now call electrons.

In 1909, Ernest Rutherford's Alpha
Particle Scattering experiment
concluded that the nucleus contains
protons, which are positively charged,
and neutrons, which are neutral. In his
experiment, he aimed a beam of
positively charged particles at a thin
sheet of gold foil. Most of the particles
went straight through the gold foil,
some were deflected and others
bounced straight back.
In 1913, Niels Bohr, a Danish scientist
proposed that electrons move around
the nucleus in certain paths, or energy
levels (just like in the solar system where
planets move around the sun). This
model was then improved by an Austrian
physicist named Erwin Schröedinger and
a German physicist named Werner
Heisenberg. Erwin Schröedinger and
Werner Heisenberg proposed that
electrons do not move in definite paths
around the nucleus, but are be found in
regions around the nucleus called
electron cloud.
