C1 Flashcards
what was bohrs model of the atom
small, dense nucleus surrounded by orbiting electrons
what particles did chadwick discover
he proved the existence of neutrons
what is an element
an element is a pure substance consisting only of atoms that all have the same numbers of protons in their atomic nuclei
what is a compound
When two or more elements chemically combine in a fixed ratio by mass,
size of an atom ?
size of nuclei ?
The atom is about 10-10 meters (or 10-8 centimeters) in size
about 10–14 macross
What is the charge of
a proton ?
neutrons ?
electrons ?
proton = 1+ (positive) neutral = 0 (neutral) electron = 1- ( negative)
what is the mass of a
proton
neutron
electron
proton = 1 neutron = 1 electron = 0.0005
for a particular atoms how do u work out the number of
protons
neutrons
electrons
protons = look up the atomic number
electrons = look up the atomic number
neutrons = top - bottom
when non-metal atoms gain electrons what type of ions do they become ?
negative ions
what did ancient greeks think atoms were like ?
solid spheres that couldnt be split into smaller parts
John Daltons ideas ab atomic structure ?
thought atoms were solid spheres , made of different elements
Thomsons plum pudding model ?
Ball of positive charge
only electrons - stuck randomly
Rutherford gold foil experiment
fired alpha particles at a thin sheet of gold foil , most passed through
some deflected
some bounced backwards
what did rutherford conclude
the positive charge is all centred in the central nucleus
cloud of negative electrons surround the nucleus
most of the atom is empty space
