QuestionAnswer
an atom that has the same number of protons (atomic number) as other atoms of the same element but has a different number of neutrons (atomic mass) isotope
states that the closer two charges are, the greater the force between them; in fact, the force increases by a factor of 4 as the distance is halved. Coulomb's law
the sum of the number of protons and neutrons of the nucleus of an atom mass number
a small, positively charged particle, which Rutherford directed at thin, gold foil cathode
a subatomic particle that has no charge and that composes the nucleus of an atom neutron
the number of protons that compose the nucleus of an atom; this number is the same for all atoms of an element. atomic number
a subatomic particle that has a positive charge and that composes the nucleus of an atom; the number of these particles determines the identity of an element. proton
an atom's central region, which is made up of protons and neutrons nucleus
a subatomic particle that has a negative charge electron
the electrode attached to the negative terminal of a voltage source anode
the electrode attached to the positive terminal of a voltage source alpha particle
This states that mass cannot be created or destroyed during ordinary chemical and physical changes. law of multiple proportions
This states that when two elements combine to form two or more com-pounds, the mass of one element that combines with a given mass of the other is in the ratio of small whole numbers. law of conservation of mass
This states that atoms are the building blocks of all matter. atomic theory
This states that a chemical compound always contains the same elements in exactly the same proportions by weight or mass. law of definite proportions
Which term best describes the "smallest indivisible particle"? Atomos
What are the two main conclusions of Rutherford's Experiment? The atom is mostly empty space and The atom has a dense positively charged center (nucleus).
Which scientist is credited with discovering the neutrally charged neutron located in the nucleus of an atom? James Chadwick
What is J.J. Thomson credited with discovering? The negatively charged electron
What is the name of the scientists who developed the "Plum Pudding" model of the atom? J.J. Thomson
Which of the following was NOT one of the 5 main postulates described in Dalton's atomic theory Each individual atom of an element has its own unique properties and behaviors.
Who disagreed with the views of Democritus and said that all matter was composed of five basic elements; earth, water, air, fire, and aether? Aristotle
Which of the following key points describes Democritus's theory of the atom? Atoms are indestructible
was the first person to come up with the idea of an atom. democritis
what word in greek was used for smallest indivisible particle. atoms
There were really two main parts to Democritus's theory. Atoms are indvisable and they are also indestrutible.
At the same time Democritus lived, there was another popular idea to what matter was made of. This idea was proposed by aristotle
Dalton's idea that atoms are indivisible was held to be true for almost the next 100 years until the work of. J.J thomson
Thomson discovered that the atom could be divided and he discovered a negatively charged part of the atom called the electron
Thomson worked with a device called the ??? This device was a sealed glass container that has two electrodes separated by a vacuum. Cathode hay Tube
In other words, a stream of what?? that would move across the glass tube. electrons
is responsible for the discovery of a positively charged particle of the atom that's called the proton Ernest Rutherford
Rutherford fired alpha particles at a very thin sheet of what??? foil. gold
was responsible for the discovery of the neutron James Chadwick
we know that the neutrons are located in the=e nucleus
what were the 5 basic elements earth, water, air, fire, aether
