atomic structure Flashcards
daltons atomic model
atoms of one element same, different from other elements
atoms tiny + indivisible
Thomson’s atomic model
plum pudding model
sea of negatively charged electrons
in a positive atom
Rutherford’s atomic model
most of mass concentrated in positive nucleus
negative electrons orbiting it
+ and - charges balance to make atom neutral
Bohr’s atomic model
electrons orbit nucleus on paths
current atomic model
protons, neutrons, electrons
protons + neutrons in nucleus
electrons surround central nucleus
relative isotopic mass
mass of an atom of an isotope compared to
1/12 of mass of an atom of Carbon-12
relative atomic mass
ratio of average mass of an atom of an element
to 1/12 of mass of an atom of carbon-12
relative molecular mass
ratio of average mass of a molecule of an element/compound
to 1/12 of mass of an atom of carbon-12
relative formula mass
similar to molecular mass
applies to ionic compounds
