47
Q

The first person to come up with an idea of an atom.

A

Democritus

48
Q

He used the word “atomos”, which is a Greek word for uncuttable or smallest indivisible and indestructible particle.

A

Democritus

49
Q

He did not believe that matter is made up of tiny particles called atoms.

A

Aristotle

50
Q

He believed that matter is made out of five elements: earth, water, air, fire, and aether.

A

Aristotle

51
Q

He studies how gases combine, react, and move with temperature and pressure.

A

John Dalton

52
Q

He developed his idea called the “atomic theory.”

A

John Dalton

53
Q

He discovered that atoms could be divided, and discovered the negatively charged particle called the “electron.”

Q

He called his theory the “plum pudding model⁠.”

Q

He is responsible for the discovery of protons.

73
Q

Principle: Electrons tend to occupy a lower orbital surface going to a higher energy orbital.

A

Aufbau Principle or Building up principle

74
Q

Principle: The maximum number of electrons in an orbital is two and they must be of opposite spin.

A

Paulis Exclusion Principle

75
Q

When a number of degenerate orbitals are available and there is no electron to fill up, all other orbitals to full capacity of two electrons, each member of the degenerate set receives one electron, before anyone of the set receives two electrons.
