Question | Answer |
---|---|
what did Democritus think. | thought matter could not be divided indefinitely. |
what did Aristotle think. | thought that matter was made of four “elements”: earth, fire, water, air. |
John Dalton was known as what | Father of Atomic Theory. |
was Aristoltle way of thinking correct or incorrect. | Aristotle was wrong. However, his theory persisted for approx. 2000 years due to his popularity. |
John daltan revies the idea of ? | The atom |
Daltans model was called? | Cannon ball model. |
Exceptions to Dalton’s Theory | Atoms can be divided,Isotopes exist |
J.J. Thomson was famous for which model? | Plum pudding |
JJ Thompson discovered what | Discovered electrons. |
What exsperiment is JJ thompspn famous for. | Cathode Ray Experiment |
atoms must contain what | electrons |
Rutherford’s Experiment Proves | A nucleus exists: small, dense and positive. Most of the atom is empty space |
what model is Bohr’s popular for. | Planetary Model . |
Electrons are located where? | in orbits around the nucleus. |
who was Erwin Schrodinger | the exact location of an electron cannot be pin-pointed; it is more accurate to view the electrons in regions called orbitals. |
who was James Chadwick | Realized that the atomic mass of most elements was double the number of protons |
Schrödinger and heiseneburg were responsible for which model. | Quantum Mechanical Model. |
How can you tell the difference between an atom and an ion just by looking? | Atoms do not have a charge, ions do have a charge. |
What part of the atom can always be used to identify which element the atom came from? | # of protons |
Why do atoms have neutrons? | to keep the protons near one another |
How is a mass number different from an atomic number? | Mass number refers to the number of protons added to the number of neutrons. Atomic number refers to the protons only. |
How does the mass, in amu, of a proton compare the mass of a neutron? | They are the same (both are 1 amu) |
How does the mass, in amu, of an electron compare to the mass of a proton or neutron | The mass of an electron is 1/1836 of a proton or neutron. Electrons have much less mass than protons or neutrons. |
Why are atoms neutral? | The number of protons (+) equals the number of electrons (-) |
Describe where we find protons, neutrons and electrons in an atom. | Protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus of an atom. Electrons are located outside of the nucleus in orbitals. |
Explain how isotopes of an atom are both similar and different | Similar - same atomic number, same number of protons Different- different mass number, different number of neutrons |
Explain how an atom becomes a (+) ion and how an atom becomes a (-) ion. | (+) ion - atom loses 1 or more electrons (-) ion- atoms gains 1 or more electrons |
