P1 Flashcards
Most alpha particles went straight through=
Most of atom is empty space
Some positive alpha particles deflected=
Nucleus is positive (repulsion forces)
Only few alpha particles deflected=
Small nucleus volume
Why do models change over time
New evidence, Inaccurate old models
Density
kg/m3 or g/cm3
Volume
m3
Density of regular shapes
Density= mass/ volume
To find mass
Electronic balance
To measure length
Ruler
To find volume
Length x width x height
What can be used to find volume in irregular shapes
Displacement can or measuring cylinder. The water that is displaced (moves up) is the volume of the shape
Density of liquid
Density= (Mass of liquid in cylinder-mass of cylinder) divided by volume
What state is when the particles are arranged in a regular and fixed pattern?
Solid
What state is when particles are packed but disorderly?
Liquid
What state is when particles are spread far apart randomly?
Gas
Forces of attraction in a solid is
Strong
Forces of attraction in a liquid is
Weak
