| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Who used the term "atomos" to describe small particles that cannot be separated? | Democritus |
| Who was the founder of the Modern Atomic Theory? | John Dalton |
| Who discovered the electron? | JJ Thompson |
| Who used electric fields to study atoms? | JJ Thompson |
| Who used the Gold Foil experiment? | Ernest Rutherford |
| Who discovered the nucleus | Ernest Rutherford |
| Who discovered that electrons travel in specific orbitals? | Bohr |
| positively charged subatomic particles that are found in the nucleus of an atom | Proton |
| neutral subatomic particles that are found in the nucleus | Neutron |
| negatively charged particles that are found in the space outside the nucleus | electron |
| Where are protons and neutrons located? | In the nucleus |
| Where are electrons located? | in the outer energy levels of the atom |
| atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons and different mass numbers | isotopes |
| possible energies that electrons in an atom can have | energy levels |
| visual model of the most likely location for electrons in an atom | electron cloud |
| region of space around the nucleus where an electron is likely to be found | orbitals |
| The main scientist that helped create the periodic table | Mendeleev |
| rows on the periodic table | periods |
| columns on the periodic table | groups |
| periods tell you what about an element | number of energy levels |
| groups tell you what about an element | number of valance electrons |
| what states that elements are arranged by increasing atomic numbers | periodic law |
| elements that are good conductors of heat and electric current and heat solid at room temperature | metals |
| elements that are poor conductors of heat and electric current and are gases at room temperature | nonmetals |
| elements with properties that fall between those of metals and nonmetals | metalloids |
