c1 - atomic structure and the periodic table Flashcards
size of atom
1x10 -10m
radius of a nucleus
1 x 10 -14m
why do atoms have no overall charge
the relative charge for an electron is -
and proton is +
number of electrons = number of protons
what is mass number
total number of neutrons and protons
avogados constant
6.02 x 10^23
what is atomic number
number of protons
electron shell limits
2,8,8,2
what is an isotope
Atoms of the same element can have different numbers of neutrons
abundance equ
(isotopic mass number x abundance) + (isotopic mass number x abundance) divided by 100
jj thomson plum pudding model
A ball of positive charge with electrons embedded inside.
how did rutherford prove the plum pudding model was wrong
Alpha particle scattering experiment.
Fired positive alpha particles at gold foil.
Most particles passed straight through = mainly empty space.
Only a few were deflected back = small positively charged centre where mass is
what did bohr do to the nuclear model
electrons orbit the nucleus
at specific distances from the nucleus
what is an element
made of only 1 type of atom. Found in the periodic table
what is a compound
2 or more elements chemically joined together in a fixed ratio.
what is a mixture
2 or more elements or compounds, not chemically joined.
