Atomic Structure Flashcards
What did Daltons model include what ideas?
-atoms cannot be broken down into anything simpler
-the atoms of a given element are identical to each other
-the atoms of different elements are different from one another
-during chemical reactions atoms rearrange to make different substances
What was discovered in 1897?
Electrons
When did the discovery of atoms having a nucleus with electrons around it?
1909-1911
What was discovered in 1913?
Electrons occupy shells (energy levels)
When we’re protons discovered?
1918
When were neutrons discovered?
1932
What do the nuclei of all atoms contain?
Subatomic particles called protons and neutrons
Give the relative mass and relative charge for protons
Rm-1
Rc- +1
Give the relative mass and relative charge for neurones
Rm-1
Rc- 0
What’s the relative mass and relative charge of electrons
Rm- 1/1835
Rc- -1
What’s the atomic number mean?
The amount of protons in the atoms nucleus
Are the amount of protons and electrons the same or different?
Same
How do you find the number of neutrons?
Mass number— atomic number
What’s the definition of isotopes?
Atoms that have the number of protons, but different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei
Give the calculation for relative atomic mass
Total mass of atoms / total number of atoms (35)
