Question | Answer |
---|---|
Dalton's atomic theory was accepted because... | there was evidence to support it. |
Atoms have no electric charge because they... | have an equal number of electrons and protons. |
Democritus's original atomic theory was revised because it... | did not have a scientific basis. |
Which of these statements is not part of Dalton's atomic theory? | Atoms are made of electrons. |
A subatomic particle that has a negative charge is called a(n)... | electron. |
Who determined that atoms could be divided? | Thomson. |
Thomson made his discovery about the atom during an experiment using... | cathode rays. |
Thomson is responsible for discovering that an atom contains... | electrons. |
What are the charges for the following subatomic particles? 1.) Proton 2.) Neutron 3.) Electron | 1.) Positive 2.) Neutral 3.) Negative |
In a ____atomic model, negative electrons orbit the positively charged nucleus. | Rutherford's |
What is an atom's nucleus made of? | Protons and neutrons. |
Whose model determined that an atom's positive charge is concentrated in the atom's center? | Rutherford's. |
The charge of an atom is... Why? | Neutral, because an atom has the same amount of electrons, negatively charged, and protons, positively charged, so they cancel each other out. |
An iron atom has an atomic mass of 56. Its atomic number is 26. How many neutrons does the iron atom have? | 30. |
How do you find mass? How do you find the number of neutrons? | Mass #= protons+neutrons Neutrons= mass #-protons |
An element's atomic number is equal to its number of... | protons and electrons. |
Two different isotopes of an element have different... | electrons and mass. |
What is the mass number of an element that has 19 protons, 19 electrons, and 20 neutrons? | 39. |
Dalton's atomic theory stated that every element was made of atoms that could not be subdivided, atoms of the same element are alike, and... | atoms of different elements could form to join compounds. |
Which statement about the atom's nucleus is correct? | The nucleus is made of protons and neutrons and has a positive charge. |
Which statement is true according to Dalton's theory? | Atoms of the same element are exactly alike. |
The word atom comes from a Greek word that means "unable to be ____________" | cut or divided. |
The first person who suggested that matter was made up of atoms was the Greek philosopher ___________. | Democritus. |
