C1 Flashcards
History of the atom(6 marker)
Dalton- atoms are tiny hard spheres that cannot be broken down
Jj thomson- discovered electrons with cathode rays- made plum pudding model- positive charged ball with negatively charged electrons stuck inside.
Geiger and Marsden- gold foil alpha particle experiment.
Rutherford proposed these conclusions from Geiger and Marsden’s experiment:
Some bounced back- mass of atom concentrated in centre
Some deflected- centre of atom is positive
Most passed straight through- atom is mainly empty space
Bohr- proposed shells and every atom has a specific number of shells and said electrons must be at fixed distances from nucleus due to light given out when heated at specific amounts of energy so must be when electrons fall from high to low energy level they release light. Proposed nuclear model of the atom.
Chadwick- discovered neutrons with experiment(very difficult as they have no charge)
Charge of a proton
+1
Charge of an electron
-1
Charge of a neutron
0
Relative mass of protons and neutrons and electrons
1
1
Very small(0.0000001)
Elements
Contain only one type of atom
Atoms
The smallest part of an element
Compound
2 or more different elements chemically bonded together
Molecule
2 or more atoms
Mixture
Can be made of elements, compounds, molecules and atoms not chemically bonded just mixed together
Atoms cannot be
Created or destroyed
Aqueous
Dissolved in water
Is mass number the top or bottom number on periodic table
Top
Is atomic number the top or bottom number of periodic table
Bottom
Mass number
Number of protons and neutrons
