What did Democritus discover about atoms |
Stated that all matter can be divided into smaller and smaller particles until a single, individuals particle is reached. He named this particle atomos which means indivisible |
Cutting into small pieces. Atomos |
|
What did Dalton discover about atoms |
Stated that all matter is made up of tiny indivible particles called atoms, and all atoms of a given element are identical. Atoms of differenr elements are different. During chemical reaction, no atoms are created or destroyed. |
|
|
What did Thomson discover |
Atom contain negatively charged particles called electrons and the rest of the atom is positively charged to keep it neutral |
|
|
What did Rutherford discover? |
At the centre of the atom is a very small, dense mass called the nucleus. A cloud of electrons surround the nucleus and most of the atom is empty space. |
|
|
What did Bohr discover about atoms? |
Electrons can only be found in specific orbits. When atoms jump between orbits they change colour. |
|
|
What was the nickname given to Bohr's model? |
Planetary model |
Shaped like planets |
|
What was the nickname given to Daltons model? |
Billard board model |
|
|
Where is a proton located in an atom? |
The nucleus |
|
|
Where are the neutrons located in an atom? |
The nucleus |
|
|
Where are the electron located in an atom? |
In orbits around the nucleus |
|
|
What is the charge and mass of a proton? |
Charge: +1 Mass: 1 amu |
|
|
What is he charge and mass of an electron? |
Charge: -1 Mass: less than 0 amu |
|
|
What is the charge and mass of a neutron? |
Charge: 0 Mass: .5 amu |
|
|
What happens when you change the number of protons in an atom? |
This changes the element |
|
|
What happens if you change the number of electron in an atom? |
This creates an ion |
|
|
What happens when you change the number of neutrons in an atom? |
This creates a different isotope of the same element (radioactive, neutral) |
|
|
How do you make a positive ion? |
Remove electrons from the atom |
|
|
How do you make a negative ion? |
Add electrons to the atom |
|
|
Define: atomic number |
The number of protons in an atom |
|
|
Define: atomic mass |
The mass of all the protons and neutrons in an atom |
|
|
Define: Mass number |
The number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus |
|
|
How can you determine the number of protons? |
The atomic number |
|
|
How can you determine the amount of electrons? |
In neutral atoms, look at the aromic number |
|
|
How do you determine the number of neutrons in an atom? |
Subtract the atomic number from the mass number |
