Q

Name Five features of Thompson’s model

A

+ positive mass
+ negative electrons embedded
+ was investigating rays given off by metals (cathode rays)
+ found out that an atom contained negative electrons
+ overall atoms are neutral (no charge)

+ MASS IS OVERALL DISTRIBUTED

Q

how and why has the model of the atom changed over time?

5 steps

A
  • first model of the atom was a hard sphere.
  • J. J. Thompson discovered that atoms contain smaller negatively charged electrons.
  • model changed to a positive mass with electrons embedded in it
  • Then Rutherford discovered that most of the mass was concentrated in a central nucleus.
  • new model was a positively charged nucleus with electrons in orbit. - Bohr discovered that electrons could not be in any orbit.
  • model changed to a positively charged nucleus with electrons in shells
