Q

What did Thompson find

A

-the electron
And made the diagram called the plum pudding model
-he said that in atoms there are negative electrons embedded in a sphere of positive charge

Q

How big is the nucleus

A

17
Q

What is the atomic number

A

The number if protons and electrons

18
Q

What is the mass number

A

The amount of protons + neutrons

19
Q

Why are atoms electrically neutral

A

The number of protons is equal to the number of electrons

20
Q

What is the same as the group number

A

The amount of electrons in the outer shell

21
Q

What is an ion

A

A charged particle, they are formed whenever atoms gain or lose electrons in order to achieve a stable full outer shell of electrons

22
Q

Draw diagrams to show how each element forms an ion (use periodic table)

A
  • lithium
  • magnesium
  • potassium
  • calcium
23
Q

What is an isotope

A

Atoms that have the same atomic number and different mass numbers. In other word that are atoms of the same element that have different numbers of electrons
