Earnest Rutherford
gold foil experiment, tried to prove empty space but he ended up discovering the nucleus
nuclear model
neils bohr
planetary model
atoms come down from excited state give off spectra
who came up with the model today and what is it called
everyone, wave mechanical model
ground state
when the electrons occupy the lowest available orbitals
excited state
when electrons are subjected to stimuli such as heat, light or electricity, an electron may absorb energy and temporarily move to a higher energy level
Atomic theory
each element is composed of extemely small particles called atoms
atoms are neither created nor destroyed
a given compound always has the same relatice number kinds of atoms
all atoms of a given element are identical, but differ from these of any other element
Atomic number
how many protons it has
isotope
an element with a different number of neutrons a different mass
ion
atom with a charge and changes electrons
outer shell is called the
valance electrons
