Question | Answer |

What did Democritus, Dalton, Thomson,Rutherford, and Bohr all have in common? | They each contributed to the development of the atomic theory. |
In Thomson's plum-pudding model of the atom, the plums represent what? | Electrons |
An atom of gold with 79 protons, 79 electrons, and 118 neutrons would have a mass number of? | 197 |
Which of the following has the least mass? | Electron |
If an isotope of uranium, uranium-235, has 92 protons, how many protons does uranium-238 have? | 95 |
How did Democritus describe atoms? | A single material with one shape and size. |
What is the smallest particle into which an element can be divided and still be the same substance? | Atom |
Particle that cannot be cut | Atom |
Negatively charged particle discovered by Thomson | Electron |
Central region of the atom | Nucleus |
Region where electrons are likely to be found | Electron cloud |
Particle in the center of an atom that has no charge | Neutron |
Subatomic particle that has a positive charge | Proton |
A unit of mass that describes the mass of an atom or molecule | Atomic Mass Unit |
Atom that has the same number of protons but different number of neutrons | Isotope |
The sum of protons and neutrons in an atom | Mass number |
How was Bohr's theory of atomic structure similar to and different from the current theory? | Bohr said there was no certain path for electrons, and in the current theory, the exact path cannot be predicted. But there is an electron cloud. |
Describe atomic number and the atomic mass and explain the difference. | Atomic number tells how many protons are in the nucleus of an atom, while atomic mass tells the mass of an atom or molecule. |
