Scientists, Atoms, and Elements
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What did Democritus discover? | He called them "atomos" and said they were tiny, invisible particles that make up the universe. All matter is made of atoms. |
| What did John Dalton discover? | He developed the first useful atomic theory of matter. |
| What did Sir William Crookes discover? | He invented the Cathode Ray Tube aka Crooke's tube. |
| What did J.J. Thomsom discover? | He discovered the Plum Pudding Model and the subatomic particle, electron. Properties: charge, mass, and spin. |
| What did Robert Millikan discover? | He worked on an oil-drop experiment in which he measured the charge on a single electron. |
| What did Henri Becquerel discover? | He discovered radiation. |
| What did Rutherford discover? | He discovered every atom contains a nucleus where it's positive charge and most of it's mass is concerned. |
| How did the results of Rutherford's experiment differ from his prediction? | He expected most of the alpha particles to pass easily through the foil with only slight deflection. |
| How did Rutherford explain the results of his experiment? | He concluded that all of the positive charge & essentially all of the mass of the atom is concentrated in an infinitely small fraction of the total volume. |
| What particle did Rutherford discover? | Nucleus |
| Who discovered the particles that confirmed his explanation? | James Chadwick |
| What did James Chadwick discover? | Neutron |
| What did Bohr discover? | Bohr's model of the atom which is seen as a small, positively charged nucleus surrounded by orbiting electrons. (Jimmy Neutron) |
| What is the law of conservation of mass? | In a chemical reaction, matter is neither created nor discovered. |
| What is the law of definite composition? | Each compound has a specific ratio of elements. |
| What is the multiple proportions? | It's the basic laws of stoichiometry used to establish the atomic theory alongside the law of conservation of mass & the law of definite proportions. |
| What are isotopes? | Each of 2 or more forms of the same element that contain equal numbers of protons but different numbers of neutrons. |
| What is the mass number and symbol? | Atomic mass number (total number of protons and electrons) The symbol is A |
| What is the atomic number and symbol? | Number of protons. The symbol is Z. |
