What’s the difference between mass and weight?
Mass is how many particles in something while weight can change wherever u are
What is charge?
A body’s response to an electrical field
Is charge discrete? Is mass discrete?
Both are discrete
Magnetism can deflect a charged particle from a straight light to a ____ ____
Curved path
What are alpha particles?
Emitted radiation with two units of + charge and have same mass as helium
What are beta particles?
Emitted radiation with one unit of negative charge (basically e-)
What are gamma rays?
Emitted radiation which are not made of particles and are not affected by electric or magnetic fields
What did the cathode ray experiment find?
Magnet caused the beam to stray towards the positive end
What was the ray of the cathode ray made of?
Electrons
What did the Millikan oil droplet experiment find?
The mass of an electron
Found the mass to charge ratio of the droplets and used that to determine the mass of the e-
Why would an isotope have less mass than the amount calculated based on the components of the atom?
Some of its mass may have been lost and converted into energy due to binding energy
What are the characteristics of a metal?
Ductile, malleable, conductors
What are some characteristics of nonmetals?
Poor conductors, brittle solids, dull, sometimes gases
What are some characteristics of metalloids?
Between metals and nonmetals, brittle, semiconductors, dopants
