You can calculate what with strong magnets in a circle
charge and mass of particles
Ernest Rutherford
the gold foil experiment
The Gold Foil Experiment
expected the beam of particles to go right through the gold foil but instead some went different ways
Gold Foil Experiment proved that…
there was a small massive centre to the atom (nucleus) that caused them to deflect
Nuclear Model
Rutherford- small positive, densely packed nucleus (over 99% of the mass in the nucleus)

Niels Bohr
Bohr Model found by the bright line spectra
Bohr Model

Excited State
add electricity and the electron jumps to the higher shell from the atom absorbing energy

Acids (5 indicators that can be seen)
- pH below 7 (lemon like 5 battery acid like 1)
- turns litmus paper red
- sour
- react with active metals (Mg, Zn, etc.)
- conduct electricity
Acid Indicator (cannot be seen)

- COOH will always be an acid
- all acids will be (aq)
Base (5 indicators that can be seen)
- pH above 7 (7 is neutral)
- turns litmus paper blue
- bitter
- feel slippery
- conduct electricity (electrolytes)
Base Indicator (cannot be seen)
- hydroxide (OH)
Aqueous means…
dissolved in water
Will mixing an acid and a base change the conductivity?
- no
- it will produce water and electrolytes
Every difference of one pH unit is an acidic difference of….
- 10
- ex. pH 8 to 4 is 10000 times more acidic
Isotopes
- Potassium is made of 19 protons and 19 neutrons
- some isotopes would have 21 neutrons some would have 20
- the .1 changes the amount
Atomic Number
- tells you how many PROTONS and ELECTRONS
Mass Number
- tells you the total number of protons and NEUTRONS added
Atomic mass minus atomic number…
- tells you the number of NEUTRONS
Why is water the universal solvent?
- it is a polar substance (O is negative and H and H are positive)

ide goes to….
- ic
- hydro _______ ic
If an ion is dissolved it is an ____________.
electrolyte

vertical (18 of them)
Do electrons farther away from the nucleus have more energy than those closer?
yes
Valence electrons
electrons in the OUTER energy level
Valence number
the number of electrons an element can gain or lose to combine with other elements
Ion
an atom where the number of electrons is not equal to the protons (has a net electric charge due to the loss or gain of electrons)
Precipitate
sometimes when ionic solutions are mixed they form a precipitate (a solid with low solubility that forms a solution)
When acids and bases are mixed… (neutralization)
when acids and bases react together both their acidic and basic properties disappear (process of neutralization)
Neutralization
acids and bases mixing and producing water and salt
Why do ionic solids have high melting points while molecular solids have low melting points?
- ionic solids have stronger attractive electrostatic (higher the attraction, higher melting point) (positive and negative attract strongly)
