M2: The Atomic Theory Flashcards
He and his pupil, Domocritus, thought that you will eventually reach the point where you can no longer divide an object in half called atomos
Leucippus
Means uncuttable or indivisible
Atomos
Father of Modern Science
First to use the term atom
Democritus
He was largely inspired by the ideas of leucippus and democritus about atoms
Introduced the Billiard Ball Model
John Dalton
He discovered the proton
Eugen Goldstein
He discovered electrons
Introduced Plum-Pudding Model
Joseph John Thomson
He discovered electrons
Introduced Rutherford’s Atomic Model
Ernest Rutherford
states that the negatively charged electrons (raisins) are surrounded by a positively charged electron
Plum-Pudding Model
He introduced the Bohr Model of Atom
Niels Bohr
are composed of smaller subatomic particles
such as the proton, neutron, and electron.
Atom
is a small, dense, positively charged center of
the atom which contains most of the atom’s mass
Nucleus
positively (+) charged particles (symbol: )
Neutrons - particles that have no charge (neutral), but
contribute to the atom’s mass (symbol: )
Protons
It makes up almost all of the mass of the atom w/
protons;
Nuetron
an area around the nucleus
where electrons are likely to be found
orbiting the nucleus in several levels
Electric Cloud
Confirmed that cathode rays are fundamental particles
that are negatively charged (known as electrons or )
Electron
