Question
Answer
What did J.J Thompson calculate?   Charge to mass ratio- (e/m = 1.758820x10^8 C/g)  
🗑
What did Millikan calculate?   The charge of an electron.  
🗑
What did J.J Thompson's cathode ray experiment prove?   atoms give off negatively charged electrons. Also, those atoms must contain positively charged particles to balance the charge.  
🗑
What is significant about J.J Thompson's Plum Pudding Model?   He proposed that electrons "corpuscles" were surrounded by a positively charged soup, like a blueberry muffin.  
🗑
What is significant about Rutherford?   He created a Gold foil experiment that debunked Thompson's plum pudding model.  
🗑
What is significant about Rutherford's gold foil experiment?   It used alpha particles- a type of emission given off by some naturally occurring radioactive elements. When he aimed a stream of alpha particles at the foil, he noticed almost all went through the foil without being deflected.  
🗑
What did Rutherford take away from his Gold Foil Experiment?   A metal atom is mostly empty space and the mass is concentrated in a tiny central core that he calls the nucleus.  
🗑
What two particles is the nucleus composed of?   protons and neutrons  
🗑
What makes one atom different than another?   The atomic number  
🗑
What do protons and electrons have in common?   they equal each other  
🗑
Neutrons?   neutrons are uncharged, but they add up to an atom's mass number  
🗑
Mass Number   protons plus neutrons  
🗑
Isotopes   Isotopes of an atom have the same atomic number but different mass numbers Isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons but different number of neutrons  
🗑
Atomic Mass   a weighted average of isotopic masses of an elements naturally occurring isotopes.  
🗑
Using AMU as a conversion factor   If a diamond has a mass of 1.00 grams, how many atoms does the diamond contain? 1.00g (1amu/1.6605x10-24grams)(1carbonatom/12.011amu) = 5.02x10^22 c atoms  
🗑
what is Avogadro's number?   it is a quantity, just like a dozen that we use to count atoms and molecules. one mole of carbon atoms equals 6.022x10^22 c atoms  
🗑
Using Avogadro's number as conversion factor   how many moles of carbon atoms are in the diamond? 5.02x10^22 C atoms (1mole/6.022x10^23 atoms) =0.0834 mol C  
🗑
Molar Mass   mass in grams of one mole of any element. units are g/mol  
🗑
What does Avogadro's number tell us?   How many atoms are in a mole.  
🗑
What do we use Avogadro's number to convert between?   atoms and moles 1mole= 6.022x10^22  
🗑
What is Nuclear Chemistry?   the study of properties and changes of atomic nuclei  
🗑
Nuclear Reaction   involves a change in the atom's nucleus, usually producing a different element.  
🗑
Radioactive Isotopes   undergo spontaneous decomposition (decay)and emit some form of radiation.  
🗑
Radiation   The emission of energy as electromagnetic waves or moving subatomic particles. there are three types found by Rutherford, alpha, beta, and gamma!  
🗑
Alpha Radiation   is attracted/deflected to a negative electrode  
🗑
Beta radiation   is attracted/deflected to a positive electrode  
🗑
Gamma   unaffected by magnetic and electric fields  
🗑
What are the two other radioactive decay processes in addition to alpha and beta?   Positron Emission and Electron Capture.  
🗑
Positron Emission   occurs when a proton in a nucleus changes to a neutron and ejects a positron.  
🗑
What is a positron   thought of as a positive electron, same mass of electron but opposite charge.  
🗑
what is electron capture?   happens when a proton in the nucleus an electron and turns into a neutron. The atomic number will decrease (one fewer proton) and mass number is unchanged.  
🗑
How can we think of electromagnetic energy?   As Waves  
🗑
What is electromagnetic energy characterized by?   frequency, wavelength, and amplitude.  
🗑
Wavelength x Frequency equals?   Speed  
🗑
What is Frequency?   the number of wave peaks to pass a given point per unit of time.  
🗑
