Question
Answer
atom   a basic unit of matter that consists of a dense, central nucleus surrounded by a cloud of negatively charged electrons.  
🗑
plum-pudding model   the atom is composed of electrons surrounded by a soup of positive charge to balance the electrons' negative charges, like negatively-charged "plums" surrounded by positively-charged "pudding".  
🗑
gold-foil experiment   he shot a very thin peice of gold foil with a stream of postively charged particles known as the alpha particles. he found that most of the alpha particles passed sraight through the foil.  
🗑
orbitals   the aria of space an electron takes up  
🗑
nucleus   consists of protons and neutrons  
🗑
proton   positavly charged electron  
🗑
neutron   negetavly charged electron  
🗑
mass number   the total number of protons and neutrons  
🗑
atomic number   is the number of protons found in the nucleus of an atom  
🗑
ion   an atom or molecule that has gained or lost one or more electrons  
🗑
isotopes   are different types of atoms of the same chemical element, each having a different number of neutrons  
🗑
atomic mass   is the mass of a specific isotope of a given atom, most often expressed in unified atomic mass units  
🗑
valence electrons   determns how the atom reacts chemically with other atoms.  
🗑
octet   Group of eight valence electrons surrounding an atom.  
🗑
excited state   state in which an atom or molecule picks up outside energy  
🗑
ionization energy   the minimal energy required to remove an electron from the atom  
🗑
electron affinity   the energy change when an electron is added to the neutral species  
🗑
