C1 Atomic structure Flashcards
what does the periodic table do
lists all the chemical elements, with eight main groups
how many types of atoms do elements contains?
only 1
what happens in terms of atoms in chemical reactions
no new reactants are ver created or destroyed
what did JJ thompson discover
electron, he realised that they had to have a negative charge as they were attracted to a positive charge (plum pudding)
what did Rutherford show
plum pudding was wrong, suggested new atomic model, proposed that electrons must be orbiting around the nucleus, which contains positively charged protons
what abou developments of neutrons
later discovered to explain missing mass in the atoms
what does the number of electron in the outmost shell tell you
the way in which element will react
atomic number
n of protons
mass number
protons + neutrons
what is an element
substance made up of atoms that have same number of protons in their nucleus
what is a compound
two or more elements are chemically bond
