Q
Dalton’s Atomic Model
A
- Matter is made up of atoms
- Atoms of an element are similar to each other
- Atoms of different elements are different from each other
- Atoms combine with each other to form new kinds of compounds
10
Q
Rutherford’s Atomic Model
A
- Most of an atom consists of empty space.
- At the center of the atom is a nucleus that contains most of the mass and all of the positive charges of the atom.
- The region of the space outside the nucleus is occupied by electrons.
- The atom is neutral because the positive charge on the nucleus equals the sum of the negative charges of the electron.
11
Q
Bohr’s Atomic Model
A
- Electrons orbit the nucleus, but only in discrete orbits or energy levels.
- Electrons don’t emit radiation when orbiting the nucleus.
- When an electron moves from an outer orbit or energy level to an inner orbit or energy level, it emits a photon with an energy equal to its energy difference.

Q
Pauli exclusion principle
A
Electrons in an element all have to have different quantum numbers.
