LESSON 4: NOT INDIVISIBLE (The structure RADIOACTIVITY
of the Atom)
The spontaneous decay of atomic nuclei.
During radioactivity, alpha particles,
beta-rays and gamma rays are emitted.
Important notes!
The atom is composed of protons,
neutrons, and electrons.
The nucleus was discovered by Ernest
Rutherford in 1909 using the gold foil
experiment.
Radioactivity is the process by which
atomic nuclei spontaneously decay.
Gamma rays are high-energy electrons
that are emitted by a nucleus during beta
decay.
Matter is composed of an infinite number
of divisible particles called atoms that are
constantly moving.

of microscopic particles, now known as

JAMES CHADWICK
James Chadwick was a student of
Rutherford’s who built on this
possibility in 1926. He worked on
radiation emitted by beryllium that
took the form of particles heavy
enough to displace protons.
These particles were as heavy as
protons, but they needed to have a
neutral charge that would allow them
to smash into the nucleus without
being repelled by electrons or
protons. He confirmed their existence
by measuring their mass and called
them NEUTRONS.

John Dalton
His chemical atomic theory merged the
concepts of the atom and element
Joseph Gay-Lussac
He determined that oxygen gas was
made of 2 atoms of oxygen and took
the form of a molecule instead of an
atom. This offered the possibility that an
element wasn’t necessarily made up of
one atom, thus distinguishing the atom
from the molecule
Amedeo Avogadro
He figured out a reliable way of
weighing atoms and molecules
(MOLE). He determined that equivalent
volumes of two gases under similar
conditions contained equal numbers of
particles, and that differences in their
masses was a result of a difference in
their molecular masses
Dmitri Mendeleev
He published a periodic table of
elements that ordered elements
according to their atomic weights.
He noted patterns in their properties that
enabled him to predict the discover of
other elements. His table became the
basis of the modern Periodic Table.
