Atomic Structure, History, and Practice Problems
Question | Answer |
---|---|
The Charge of a Proton is | +1 |
The Charge of an Electron is | -1 |
The charge of a neutron is | 0 (neutral) |
The Mass of a Protons is | 1 amu |
The Mass of a Neutron is | 1 amu |
The Mass of an Electron is | 0 (negligible) |
How do you calculate the mass of an atom? | Protons + Neutrons |
What does the atomic number ALWAYS tell you about the atom? | The number of protons the atom has What element it is |
These subatomic particles are in the nucleus | Protons and Neutrons |
These subatomic particles surround the nucleus | electrons |
This person was the first to suggest that atoms existed | Democritus |
This person was the first to have experimental evidence for the existence of atoms | Dalton |
This person used cathode ray tubes to discover the electron | Thomson |
This person developed the "plum pudding" model of the atom | Thomson |
This person discovered the nucleus of the atom | Rutherford |
This person did the "Gold Foil Experiment" | Rutherford |
This person was the first to suggest that atoms were mostly empty space | Rutherford |
This person suggested that electrons orbited the nucleus in set energy levels | Bohr |
It is now believed that electrons surround the nucleus in this | An electron "cloud" |
