🗑
|
||||

🗑
|
||||
| Who was the Greek philosopher among the first to suggest the existence of atoms? | Democritus
🗑
|
||||
| What does John Dalton's Modern Atomic Theory state? | atoms are divisible and an element can have atoms with different masses
🗑
|
||||
| What did John Dalton propose? | elements were composed of atoms and only whole-number of atoms can combine to form compounds
🗑
|
||||
| Why can Dalton's ideas be called a theory? | He changed Democritus' ideas into a theory that could be tested.
🗑

🗑
|
||||

🗑
|
||||
| What is a cathode ray? | stream of electrons produced at the negative electrode of a tube containing a gas at low pressure
🗑
|
||||
| What did Democritus believe about atoms? | they physically resembled the matter it made (rock atoms were sharp and jagged, fur atoms were soft and fuzzy)
🗑
|
||||
| What do the "anatomy" af an atom have? | a nucleus and electron could
🗑
|
||||
| Who discovered the electron? | J.J. Thomson
🗑
|
||||
| How did J.J. Thomson know the ray was composed of negatively charged particles? | the particles deflected by a magnetic field in the same way as a wire carrying an electrical current
🗑
|
||||
| What does the presence of a negatively charged particle within a neutral structure (atom) have a indication of? | negatively charged particles moving up the cathode ray
🗑
|
||||
| What does the very small mass of the electron compared to the relatively large mass of an atom indicate? | there is probably a positively charged particle in the atom that has more mass than the electron
🗑
|
||||
| What is Thomson's atomic model? | 'plum pudding'
🗑
|
||||
| When Ernest fired the alpha particles through a thin piece of gold foil, what did he expect the particles to do? | deflect
🗑
|
||||
| What actually happened with the most of the alpha particles? | they went straight through the gold foil undeflected
🗑
|
||||
| What actually happened with the other alpha particles? | some: were deflected
few: bounced back at large angles
🗑
|
||||
| Why could Rutherford conclude that the atom is mostly empty space? | some alpha particles went through
🗑
|
||||
| Why could Rutherford conclude that there was a small, dense, area of positive charge? | some particles were deflected
🗑
|
||||
| What did Thomson detect that the electron has? | a certain amount of negative charge per unit of mass
🗑

||||
| What does Thomson's 'Plum Pudding' not have? | a nucleus and neutrons
🗑
|
||||
| What is the atomic number? | # of p+ and e- in each atom of that element
🗑
|
||||
| How are elements different from one another? | they have different #s of protons
🗑
|
||||
| What is the mass number? | total # of p+ and neutrons in nucleus.
🗑
|
||||
| What is the atomic mass? | weighted average mass of the atoms in a naturally occurring sample of an element
🗑
|
||||
| How do you find the # of neutrons? | atomic number - atomic mass (rounded)
🗑
|
||||
| If the atom is neutral (no charge) then what does it have? | the same # of e-
🗑
|
||||
| What are neutrons? | subatomic particle that has no charge but has a mass nearly equal to that of a proton
🗑
|
||||
| What are electrons? | subatomic particle that are negatively charged
🗑
|
||||
| What are protons? | subatomic particle that is positively charged
🗑
