Atomic Theory 2 Flashcards
Using electromagnetic ray theory, J.J. Thomson build a
Cathode Ray Tube
The Cathode Ray Tube was used to prove that
Negatively charged particles (electrons) were present in atoms
A cathode ray tube is a _ in which most of the air has been removed
Closed glass cylinder
In the cathode ray tube are two
Electrodes
The two electrodes in the cathode ray tube are called (2)
Cathode
Anode
Cathode is
Negatively charged electrode
Anode is
A positively charged electrode
A _ is an example of a cathode ray tube
Neon sign
When a high voltage is applied between the electrodes in a cathode ray tube
A beam of electrons travels from the anode to the cathode
With the cathode ray tube, Thomson was able to determine the ratio of
Electric charge to the mass of a single electron
Thomson believed that atoms looked like
A bowl of plum pudding
Looked like a bowl of plum pudding because
Electrons sat in a pudding of protons
In the pudding model, negative charges of electrons were
Canceled out by positive charges of protons
Ernest Rutherford was a British
Physicist
Ernest Rutherford took Thomson’s idea a step further by using
Radioactive particles
Positively charged alpha particles are
Particles made up of two protons and two neutrons
Rutherford shot positively charged alpha particles through a piece of gold foil
When Ernest Rutherford shot the alpha particles through the foil, he noticed that
Some of the particles went straight through the foil
When Ernest Rutherford shot the alpha particles through the foil, he noticed that some of the particles
Bounced back
Why most particles went through the foil
Atoms are made up of mostly empty space
Why some of the positively charged particles bounced back
Atoms have positively charged centers
Like repels like AKA
Positive charges repel positive charges
Ernest theorized because like repels like, the positively charged alpha particles were most likely
Hitting the center of the atom
Ernest Rutherford named the center of the atom
The nucleus
Nucleus contains nearly all
Of atoms mass
