Atoms Quiz Flashcards
Democritus (major contribution including specific experiment)
-prove the existence of atoms
-theorized atoms were tiny and indivisable
-atomos
Democritus (model)
atomic model (just a circle)
Democritus (how it changed from the previous model)
first atomic model created
Dalton (major contribution including specific experiment)
Daltons 4 part theory:
1.All Matter is Composed of Atoms (false)
2. Atoms of a Given Element are Identical (false)
3. Compounds are Formed by Combining Atoms (true)
4. Chemical Reactions Involve Rearrangement of Atoms (true)
-nitric oxide experiments
Dalton (Model)
Billard Model just a circle
Dalton (how it changed from the previous model)
model didn’t change but the understanding did
Thompson (major contribution including specific experiment)
-discovered the electron
-did this using the cathode ray tube experiment
-proposed atoms are not inadvisable
Thompson (model)
The plum pudding model. Was a circle with electrons suspended in it.
Thompson (how it changed from the previous model)
said there were smaller particles inside an atom
Rutherford (major contribution including specific experiment)
-used the gold foil experiment
-atom mass is in the tiny positively charged center
-discovered the proton
Rutherford (Model)
nuclear model. was a circle with positively charged protons in the middle and electrons on the outside
Rutherford (how it changed from the previous model)
electron is orbiting around the positively charged center
Bohr (major contribution including specific experiment)
-electrons orbit the nucleus at fixed energy levels
-light come when electrons jump levels
-built on the gold foil experiment
Bohr (Model)
Bohr model (planetary model). Kind of like the model we now use.
Bohr (how it changed from the previous model)
electrons only orbit at fixed levels
Chadwick (major contribution including specific experiment)
-discovery of the neutron
-also discovered that it was neutral
-beryllium experiment
Chadwick (Model)
Chadwick model. It had neutrons and protons in the nucleus.
Chadwick (how it changed from the previous model)
built on the Rutherford model. added neutron the the nucleus.
