Q

Give 3 parts to John Daltons theory of the tiny spheres as atoms.

A

1) Indivisible sphere that cannot be broken down into anything simpler
2) All atoms of one element are identical
3) Different elements have different atoms

Q

Who came up with the Plum Pudding theory?

A

JJ Tompson

17
Q

Explain the Plum Pudding theory.

A

A ball of positive charge with smaller negative particles throughout

18
Q

What was JJ Thomason’s discovery that led to the Plum Pudding model?

A

Atoms weren’t solid spheres

19
Q

Who proposed the Nuclear model?

A

Ernest Rutherford

20
Q

What did Rutherford discover from his model?

That particles don’t directly pass through the atom, some deflect and some reflect

21
Q

What did Neil’s Bohr measure?

A

The energy electrons needed to move position

22
Q

How are the electrons organised in Neil Bohr’s model?

A

Into shells or energy levels.

23

A

True

25
Q

What is the link between the Group number and the electronic structure?
