Q

Dalton’s atomic theory

A
  1. • All matter is made up of tiny particles called atoms
  2. • Atoms are in constant motion
  3. • All atoms of the same element are identical
  4. • Atoms of any one element are different from those of any other element
  5. • Atoms are never created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction, only rearranged

Q

Where are the electrons with the lowest energy located, and why?

A
  1. closest to the nucleus = electrons with the lowest energy
  2. these are highly attracted to the protons
  3. these need a low amount of energy to hold their position close to the nucleus
