Atomic structure Flashcards
What is:
dependent variable
independent variable
control variable
Dependent variable: Variable you measure.
Independent variable: Variable you change.
Control variable: You keep same.
What is JJ Thompson model called?
Plum pudding model.
Name What charge does each subatomic particle have?
Electron = -1
Proton = +1
Neutron = 0
Name 5 scientists who helped develop the modern atomic model .
Jhon Dalton
JJ Thompson
Ernest Rutherford
James chadwick
Niles Bohr
What did Jhon Dalton suggest?
Jhon Dalton : All matter was made of tiny inseparable particles called atoms. Can make complex structure.
What did JJ Thompson suggest?
JJ Thompson : Discovered plum pudding model. Ball of positive charge with negative electrons embedded in it.
What did Ernest Rutherford suggest?
(gold foil experiment The Geiger–Marsden experiments ) Ernest Rutherford: Came up with nuclear model there is tiny positively charged nucleus at the center where the mass is concentrated. This is surrounded in a cloud of negative electrons.
What did James Chadwick suggest?
James Chadwick: Discovered neutral neutron.
What did Niles Bohr suggest?
Niles Bohr: Proposed that the electrons where in in shells rather than in a ‘cloud’. That these electrons orbited the nucleus.
Describe ‘plum pudding’ model.
An positive ball of charge that has negatively charged electrons embedded in it.
What is an element?
element: all atoms same type
What is a compound?
Compound: more than one type of atom chemically combined
What is a mixture?
two or more substances (elements or compounds) [1] not chemically combined [1]
State two ways in which Rutherford changed Thomson’s model of the atom (3)
positive charge [1] concentrated into very small volume at centre of atom (nucleus) [1] electrons orbit nucleus [1]
Geiger experiment
Explain why the Noble gases have stable electronic arrangements
They have full outer shell/they are unreactive
Complete the sentence ‘All atoms of one type of element have the same number of…’
Protons and electrons
What does the atomic number tell us about an atom?
No. of protons and electrons in an atom.
