The periodic table of ancient times was composed of four elements. They were ____________________, ____________________, ____________________, and ____________________. The Greek philosopher who proposed this “periodic table” was named ____________________. Aristotle, another Greek philosopher, fully supported this model of matter. Not everyone at the time agreed. The Greek philosopher ____________________ proposed that all matter was made of tiny indivisible particles, which he called ____________________, and empty space.

These ancient models of matter were based on thought experiments rather than ____________________ knowledge. During the Middle Ages, the ____________________ were determined to turn base metals into ____________________. They conducted experiments that opened the door for more systematic experimentation and observation.

In 1803, an English schoolteacher named ____________________ came up with his atomic model, which consisted of the following ideas:
a.
b.
c.
d.
e.

This model of the atom became widely accepted during the early part of the nineteenth century. Further experiments conducted at the time led scientists to think that the atom contained ____________________ particles. The first subatomic particle to be discovered was the ____________________. It was discovered by ____________________, who experimented using cathode ray tubes. From the results of his investigations, he suggested that the atom was a positively charged sphere with negatively charged particles embedded in it. His model was known as the ____________________ model. In 1911, ____________________ discovered that an atom contains a positively charged centre surrounded by empty space. The positively charged centre is called a(n) ____________________, and it is composed of ____________________ and ____________________. The ____________________, discovered by ____________________, carry no charge.
 

Short Answer
 

 8. 

Using the five ideas in an atomic model, read the following statements. Below each statement, write down the idea that best represents the statement.
a. Water has a boiling point of 100°C, while ethanol boils at 78.3°C.
b. Hydrogen peroxide is composed of two hydrogen atoms and two oxygen atoms.
c. Sodium metal is composed of atoms that have 11 protons in their nucleus.
d. The oxygen atom in an oxygen molecule contains eight protons in its nucleus. When oxygen molecules combine with hydrogen molecules, water molecules are produced. The oxygen atom in a water molecule contains eight protons in its nucleus.
