Atomic Structure 1.1 Flashcards
Developing ideas of the atom
1803
John dalton
Atoms couldn’t be broken down
Developing ideas of the atom
1896
Henri becquerel
Electrons have a negative charge and proton has a positive charge
J Thomson
Discovered electrons
Developing ideas of the atom
1911
Ernest Rutherford
Most of the mass and all the positive charge was in the Center the nucleus
Arrangement of sub-atomic particle
Proton and neutrons are held in the centre by a strong nuclear force stronger than the electrostatic force between protons and electrons
Atomic number
Proton number
Mass number
Protons + neurton
Isotope
- Atoms with the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons
- react chemically exactly the same ( same electron configuration)
Caron dating
Radioactive isotopes have a half life ( the time taken for half of its radioactivity by half)
Carbon-14
Half life of 5730 years
Date organic matter
Decays at a constant rate
Electron shells
First shell
2
Electron shells
Second shell
8
Electron shells
Third shell
18
Relative atom mass
1/12 of 1 atom of 12C
Relative molecular mass
1/12 of 1 atom of 12C
Mass spectrometer
Vacuum
High vacuum to prevent ions that are colliding with molecules from the air
Mass spectrometer
Ionisation
Dissolved in a volatile solvent and forced through a fine hollow needle that is connected to the positive terminal
Ion that have lost their electron.
