Q

What did Rutherford discover and when

A

(1909) did the gold foil experiment, fired alpha particles at a thin sheet of gold.
plum pudding model should’ve shown most of alpha particles deflected but only some did with some going through and some going straight back. Developed nuclear model

Q

what were Bohr’s principles

A

-electrons in fixed orbits/shells

what is the structure of salts/ ionic compounds

A

regular ionic lattice

44
Q

acid + base =?

A

salt + water

45
Q

A

proton donors react with water to relase H+

46
Q

NaOH, KOH, NH3

49
Q

what are strong/weak acids/bases

A

Strong acids/bases completely dissociate in water while weak only partially dissociates in water in strong acids/bases lots of the ions are released

50
Q

What type of reaction is acid and bases

A

acids + bases react to neutralise and form water and salt

51
Q

why is ammonia the exception

A

reaction between ammonia and water produces hydroxide ions. ammonia accepts a hydrogen ion from from water forming an ammonium ion and hydroxide ion. Ammonia can neutralise acids.
