In the nucleus
Charge of an electron
Negative (-)
Mass of a proton
1 amu
Mass of a neutron
1 amu
Mass of an electron
O amu or 1/2000
What are the main points of dalton so atomic theory
- Atoms cannot be created or destroyed
- all matter is made up of tiny indivisible particles
- atoms of a given compound always has the same number of atoms (ratios 1:1)
- atoms of a given element are identical to each other but different than those of another element
What is a cathode ray tube
Vacuum tube with electrons that can can be connected with electricity to shoot out electrons
Who experimented with the cathode ray tubes and discovered electrons
J.J Thomson
What did scientist discover about electrons?
J.J. Thomson discovered electrons were much smaller than an atom and were negatively charged
Describe rutherfords gold foil experiment
- put radioactive material in a lead box
- made a whole in one side of the box so alpha particles could only go out on side
- aimed it at the gold foil
- most particles went through the gold foil but 1/8000 were deflected back
2 main points of the gold foil experiment
- Most of atom was empty space
- most of the mass of the atom is concentrated in a small positively charged area called the nucleus
What is an ion
Charged particle
What is an isotope
Atoms of the same element with different masses
-different amount of neutrons
