CheMASTERY Flashcards
JJ Thomson
Proved Crookes’ negative “beam” was really particles called “electrons”
Realized electrons were smeller than atoms
Plum Pudding Model
Cathode Ray Tube
John Dalton
aka “the marble guy”
Atoms are all solid w/ uniform density
Atoms are the smallest particles of nature
All atoms of the same element are identical
*Atoms of diff. sizes can combine to form compounds
Ernest Rutherford
Discovered that atoms had a "nucleus" Gold Foil Exp. Dense,+charged nucleus Atom is mostly empty space Electrons roam freely around the nucleus
Neils Bohr
Supported Rutherford’s model, but explained its weakness
Electrons are in certain shells/orbits at specific distances from the nucleus
Planetary Model
Ewin Schrodinger
Wave mechanical model
Mathematically describes the probability of finding an electron in an “electron cloud”
Regions where you can find electrons are orbitals
Orbitals have diff. energy levels
3 subatomic particles w/ charges & locations
Protons (+) inside nucleus
Neutrons (neutral) inside nucleus
Electrons (-) outside nucleus
How do atoms become +/- ions?
+…lose electrons
-…gain electrons
(From P)
Why are the atomic masses on the periodic tale NOT whole #s?
B/ the atomic mass is an average of all the isotopes
Average atomic mass formula
(Mass)(% abundance in decimal form)
[2 decimal places left]
% abundance formula
each type of marshmallow / total in bag x 100%
Isotope
Atoms of the same element w/ diff. # of neutrons, therefore diff. masses
Isotope notation
H-1 (1)=atomic mass
H-2
H-3
Nuclear symbol
Atomic mass +/-
Atomic # Letter
Ion
Charged particle
Between protons & electrons!
Responsible for the identity of the element?
Protons
