Atom unit Flashcards
Five models of atoms
Dalton
Thomson
Rutherford
Bohrs
Schrodingers
Dalton
All elements are made of atoms
Elements have whole number ratios
Thomson
Atoms contain equal amounts of positive and negative charge
Rutherford
Positive dense nucleus and negative electrons circling
Bohrs
Electrons orbit the nucleus in specific levels of energy
Schrodingers
Electrons are in probability zones and locations cannon be pinpointed
Atoms are particles and waves at the same time
Quarks
The building blocks of protons and neutrons
Protons are made up of
2 up quarks and 1 down quark
Neutrons are made up of
2 down quarks and 1up quark
Down quark
-1/3
Up quark
2/3
Gluons
The “glue” that holds quarks together
Earliest designer of the periodic table
Dimitri Mendeleev
Periodic
A regular repeating pattern
Isotopes
Atoms with different numbers of neutrons
