Q

Alpha decay

A

Made up of two protons and neutrons, causing the atomic number to decrease by two

Two fewer protons two fewer neutrons

Q

Beta decay

A

A neutron and and atom changes into a proton and a high energy electron called a beta particle causing the atomic number to increase by one as it gains a proton

One fewer neutron and one more proton

A

Do not contain particles, but energy

Gamma rays can pass through things sheets of lead

Does not change one element into another

15
Q

Dalton

A

Revisited the idea of Adams. He made careful observations and measurements of chemical reactions and combine data from his own scientific research with data from the research of other scientist to proposed atomic theory.

16
Q

Thomson

A

Do experiments he discovered that an atom contained both positive and negative charges. These charges had mass and or even smaller than atoms. He’s been constructed a model of an atom. Chocolate chips and cookie dough

17
Q

Rutherford

A

Concluded that there is a nucleus and there were positively charged particles and the negatively charged electrons move the empty space surrounding the nucleus

18
Q

Chadwick

A

Discovered neutrons

19
Q

Bohr

A

He felt that electrons move in cellular orbits around the atom. When the electrons move from a higher energy level to a lower Energy level Energy is released as light. Electrons are not arranged and orbits
