| how many minutes are in one week? | 10080 |
| Who was the schoolmaster who studied chemistry and proposed an atomic theory? | John Dalton |
| Who discovered the nucleus by bombarding gold foil with positivly charged particles? | Rutherford |
| rutherford's experiments led to the discovery of the | nucleus |
| experiments with the cathode rays led to the discovery of the | electron |
| organic chemistry is the study of | carbon containing compounds |
| the discovery of the electron resulted from experiments using | cathode rays |
| all the atoms of the same elements have the same | atomic number |
| nickel-60 has | 32 neutrons |
| what does the 218 in polonium-218 represent? | the mass number |
| a nuclide is identified by | the number of protons in its nucleus |
| in SI, the frequency of electromagnetic radiation | hertz |
| one of the wave properties of electromagnetic radiation, such as light, is | frequency |
| as it travels through space, electromagnetic radiation | exhibits wavelike behavior |
| the distance between two succesive peaks ona wave is its | wavelength |
| a qunatuam of electromagnetic energy is called a | photon |
| the wave model of light did not explain | the photoeletric effect |
| Max planck proposed that a hot object radiated energy in small, specific amounts called | quanta |
| part of the atom where electrons cannot be found | nucleus |
