atomic structure Flashcards
what year did John dalton make his version of the periodic table
1803
what year did j.j. Thomson make his version of the periodic table
1897
what year did Ernest Rutherford make his version of the periodic table
1909
what was the first part of daltons 3 part atomic theory
Allโ โsubstancesโ โareโ โmadeโ โofโ โatoms.โ โAtomsโ โareโ โsmallโ โparticlesโ โthatโ โcannot beโ โcreated,โ โdivided,โ โorโ โdestroyed.
what was the second part of daltons 3 part atomic theory
Atomsโ โofโ โtheโ โsameโ โelementโ โareโ โexactlyโ โalike,โ โandโ โatomsโ โofโ โdifferent elementsโ โareโ โdifferent
what was the third part of daltons 3 part atomic theory
Atomsโ โjoinโ โwithโ โotherโ โatomsโ โtoโ โmakeโ โnewโ โsubstances.โ โ
how did Thomson conduct experiments
used a cathode-ray tube
what was Thomsons proposal for the model of an atom
the โplum-puddingโ model
what was the โplum-puddingโ model
in whichโ โnegativeโ โelectronsโ โareโ โscatteredโ โthroughoutโ โsoftโ โblobsโ โofโ โpositively chargedโ โmaterial.
what did the cathode ray tube show
Becauseโ โtheโ โbeamโ โmovedโ โawayโ โfromโ โtheโ โnegativelyโ โchargedโ โplateโ โandโ โtoward
theโ โpositivelyโ โchargedโ โplate,โ โThomsonโ โknewโ โthatโ โtheโ โparticlesโ โmustโ โhaveโ โa
negativeโ โcharge
relative charge of a proton
+1
relative charge of a neutron
0
relative charge of an electron
-1
relative mass of a proton
1
relative mass of a neutron
1
relative mass of an electron
1/1836 (almost zero)
why are atoms neutral
atoms are neutral because they contain the same amount of protons as electrons so the charges cancel each other out
where is most of the mass of an atom concentrated in
the nucleus
what are isotopes
isotopes are different atoms of the same element containingโโthe same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei
how to calculate the number of neutrons
mass number - atomic number
what differs isotopes from each other
isotopes โโhave โโtheโโ sameโโnumber โโof โโprotons โโbutโโdifferent โโnumbers โoโf neutrons,โ โtheyโ โareโ โstillโ โatomsโ โofโ โtheโ โsameโ โelement,โ โbutโ โtheyโ โhaveโ โdifferent atomicโ โmasses
