Q

What was Rutherford’s nuclear model of the atom?

A

There is a tiny, positively charged nucleus at the centre, where most of the mass is concentrated. A ‘cloud’ of negative electrons surrounds the nucleus - so most of the atom is empty space. When alpha particles came near the concentrated, positively charge of the nucleus, they were deflected. If they were fired directly at the nucleus, they were deflected backwards. Otherwise, they passed through the empty space.

Q

What did Mendeleev do in 1869?

A

He took 50 known elements and arranged them into his own table of elements. He put them mainly in order of atomic mass but did switch that order if the properties should be changed.

Q

What did Rutherford find?

A

He found that most of the particles did go straight through the gold sheet and some were deflected more than expected, and small number where deflected backwards.

Q

What are isotopes?

A

Isotopes are different forms of the same element that has the same number of protons but different number of neutrons (same Atomic number and different Mass number)

18
Q

What did JJ Thomson conclude in 1897?

A

Atoms weren’t solid spheres. His measurements of charge and mass showed an atom must contain even smaller, negatively charged particles - electrons. He ‘solid sphere’ idea of atomic structure had to be changed. The new theory was known as the ‘plum pudding model’

19
Q

What does 2- mean?

A

2 more electrons than protons

20
Q

What is ionic bonding?

A

The opposite charges of the ion means they are strongly attracted to each other

21
Q

Non-metals

A
  • don’t have metallic bonding
  • dull looking
  • aren’t always solids at room temperature
  • don’t conduct electricity
  • lower density
22
Q

What did John dalton describe atoms as in the 19th century?

A

Solid spheres. He said that different spheres made up different elements

23
Q

Group Number

A

It tells us how many electrons are in its outer shell. E.g group seven all have 7 electrons in their outer shell.

24
Q

What is the plum pudding model?

A

It showed the atom as a ball of positive charge with electrons stuck on it.

25
Q

How do you find the number of neutrons?

A

Mass number - atomic number

26
Q

The electrons

A
  • move around the nucleus in electron shells
  • negatively charged and tiny, but they cover a lot of space
  • the volume of their orbits determines the size of the atom
  • have virtually no mass
27
Q

What did Ernest Rutherford do in 1909?

A

He concluded the famous alpha particle scattering experiments. He fired positively charged alpha particles at an extremely thin sheet of gold.

28
Q

What is covalent bonding?

A

Each atom shares an electron with another atom

29
Q

How are compounds formed?

A

When elements react, atoms combine with other atoms to form compounds

30
Q

How do you workout the relative atomic mass?

A

Sum of (isotope abundance x isotope mass number) divided by sum of abundances of all the isotopes

31
Q

What does the atomic number tell us?

A

How many protons there are

32
Q

The nucleus

A
  • middle part of the atom
  • contains protons and neutrons
  • radius of 1x10^-14m)
  • positive charge because of the protons
33
Q

The Metal atoms…

A

Lose electrons to form positive ions.

34
Q

What did Rutherford show after Bohr?

A

That the nucleus can be divided into smaller particles, which have the same charge as a hydrogen nucleus. These particles were named protons.

35
Q

Group 0

A
  • noble gases
  • don’t react with much
  • they exist as monatomic gases (single atoms not bonded together)
  • boiling points increase as you go down
36
Q

How are compounds held together?

A

Chemical bonds

37
Q

What is an element?

A

It is a substance made up of atoms that all have the same number of protons in their nucleus

38
Q

Shell numbers

A

1st shell: 2
2nd shell: 8
3rd shell: 8

39
Q

In an ion…

A

The number of protons doesn’t equal the number of electrons. This means it has an overall charge

40
Q

Why do protons and electrons cancel out?

A

Because they have the same charge but opposite (protons are positively charged and electrons are negatively charged)

41
Q

The non-metal atoms…

A

Gain electrons to form negative ions
