P1.1 the particle model Flashcards
Describe JJ Thompson’s plum pudding model
- Discovered electrons
- Positive mass sphere=plum pudding
- negative electrons=Plums
Describe Rutherford’s experiment
- Gold foil experiment
- fired positive alpha particles at thin gold foil
- most went through-most of atom is vacuum
- some deflected-shows nucleus is positive
- some repelled-shows the nucleus has smol volume
Describe Rutherford’s nuclear model (MY ALBATROSS NEEDS MONEY)
- Mass concentrated at the center in the nucleus
- All the positive charge in the nucleus
- negative electrons orbit the nucleus in shells
- Most of the space is a vacuum
Why models change over time
- Understanding
* oldermodels can’t explain new evidence
Neutron
- Mass 1
- charge 0
- Found in nucleus
proton
- Mass 1
- charge 1+
- found in nucleus
Electron
Mass 0.0005
charge -1 found in electron shells
Size of an atom
1×10-10m
Density equation
Density (kg/m3)=mass (kg) / volume (m3)
- P=m/V
Describe how to find the mass of a regular solid
Find themassusing anelectronic balance
mesure thelength of each side using a ruler 📏
Find the volume (length × width× height)
density=mass/volume
How to find volume
Volume= length× width× height
How to find density of an irregular solid (method 1)
Find the mass using an electronic balance.
Half fill a measuring cylinder with water and note the volume. Put the object in the water. The difference in the volumes is the volume of the object. density = mass / volume
How to find the density of an irregular solid (method 2)
Find the mass using an electronic balance.
Fill a displacement can with water. Put the object in the water and collect the water that comes out in a measuring cylinder. The volume of the water is the volume of the object. density = mass / volume
How to find density of a liquid
Find the mass of a measuring cylinder using an electronic
balance.
- Put the liquid in a measuring cylinder and note the volume
Find the mass of a measuring cylinder and liquid using an
electronic balance.
Subtract the two masses to find the mass of the liquid on
its own.
density = mass of liquid / volume of liquid
Properties of a solid
- Fixed pattern arrangement
- packed close together
- strong forces of attraction
- vibrate
- Hard to compress
- Fixed volume
- high density
