Question
Answer
show J.J. Thomson suggested a "plum pudding model" for the atom. In this model, negatively charged electrons were swimming in a sea of positive charges  
🗑
Ernest [...], with his gold-foil experiments, confirmed that there was a centralized nucleus.   show
🗑
Niels Bohr was a student of [...]'s in the early 1900s.   show
🗑
show In 1913, Bohr changed the model of the atom. Most of his changes were based on new ideas about how atoms absorb or give off light.  
🗑
Bohr suggested that electrons are found in [...] paths around the nucleus.   show
🗑
Bohr's model confines an electron to a distinct orbit around the nucleus. Each of these orbits is a certain distance away from the nucleus; electrons in the orbits farther from the nucleus have [...] energy than those closer to the nucleus.   show
🗑
The distinct orbital pathways of electrons are called [...] in chemistry.   show
🗑
Nowadays, orbitals (electron pathways) are grouped into shells and subshells. Unfortunately, people (K12 included) sometimes get sloppy and refer to shells or subshells as [...]… sorry.   show
🗑
In Bohr's model, electrons have a certain, set amount of [...].   show
🗑
An orbital SHELL is also called an [...] level. Within that shell are subshells and within those subshells are orbitals (the actual pathways of electrons).   show
🗑
in the Bohr atom each electron is at a specific or discrete distance from the nucleus. Each resides in one of a series of fixed [...] around the nucleus.   show
🗑
show Electrons in a Bohr atom exist at specific energy levels. They cannot reside between energy levels.  
🗑
Generally speaking, electrons residing in orbitals closer to the nucleus are at a [...] energy level. Electrons in orbitals farther from the nucleus are at a [...] energy level   show
🗑
show It is possible for an electron to change orbitals, or energy levels. But that change has to be a very specific change. An electron would have to gain or lose exactly the right amount of energy  
🗑
For an electron to move farther from the nucleus, it must [...] energy.   show
🗑
Chloroplasts absorb energy from sunlight, causing [...] to move to higher orbitals within the plant cells.   show
🗑
show For an electron to move closer to the nucleus, it must release energy.  
🗑
show The light given off by fireflies is the result of electrons emitting energy (as light) as they move to lower energy levels. This is also how lightbulbs work.  
🗑
show One way to talk about the energy needed to move an electron from one level to another is to refer to a quantum of energy. A quantum is a discrete amount of energy.  
🗑
You may have heard the expression quantum leap used to refer to a sudden or discrete change. That expression comes from the Bohr model in which electrons jump to one level of energy or another but nowhere in [...].   show
🗑
show A valence electron is any electron located in the outermost electron SHELL.  
🗑
The valence electrons are the ones that interact or are transferred to other atoms during chemical reactions because (duh) they are the ones that come into contact with the [...] world.   show
🗑
The valence electrons are the electrons in the [...]-most electron SHELL.   show
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
