| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Dalton's Theory #1 | All elements are composed of tiny INDIVISIBLE particles called atoms. |
| What are the three types of subatomic partics? | protons, neutrons, electrons |
| Which subatomic particle has a negative charge? positive charge? neutral? | protons= positive, electron= negative, neutrons= neutral |
| Which subatomic particles are found in the nucleus? | protons and neutrons. |
| an atom | the smallest particle of an element that retains its idenity in a chemical reaction. |
| electrons | negatively charged subatomic particles. |
| Dalton's Theory #2 | Atoms of the same element are IDENTICAL. Atoms of an element are DIFFERENT from atoms of any other element. |
| Dalton's Theory #3 | Atom's of different elements can phyically mix and chemically combine in WHOLE-NUMBER RATIOS to form compounds. |
| scanning tunneling microscope | instrument used to observe individual atoms |
| Democritus | Greek philosopher who believed that matter was made of atoms, which were indivisible and indestructible. |
| J.J. Thomson | Discovered the electron in experiments with cathode rays. |
| Who discovered that electrons were negatively charged? How did he learn this? | J.J. Thomson. He found that negatively charged plates would repel a cathode ray. |
| cathode ray | glowing beam of electrons |
| Robert A. Millikan | Measured the quantity of charge of an electron and its mass. |
| mass of an electron | 1/1840 of the mass of a hydrogen atom |
| Eugen Goldstein | Discovered protons |
| James Chadwick | Discovered neutrons |
| Ernest Rutherford | Discovered the nucleus during gold-foil experiments. |
| Rutherford's model of the atom | An atom is mostly empty space, with a dense nucleus with electrons moving around it. |
| Whose model of the atom is known as the plum-pudding model? | Rutherford's |
| dalton's #4 | chemical reactions occur when atoms are SEPARATED, JOINED, OR REARRANGED. Elements are never changed into another element in a chemical reaction. |
