Science Flashcards
Is considered the smallest particle of matter
Atom
Is a representation of what an atom could look based on observation and scientific evidence that describe how atoms behave
Atomic model
It is interesting to note that the story about the atom started way back to the time of the?
Ancient Greek
Is made up of solid particles
Matter
Varies in shape size and weight
Has a uniform structure all throughout
Matter
is a particle smaller than an atom in which scientists used experimental observations to establish its existence.
subatomic particle
Atoms are tiny invisible
particles.
The atoms of an element are
all the same.
The atoms of different elements vary from
one another.
Atoms may form compounds when
combined together.
Who was able to discover electrons from observations in his cathode ray tube experiment
Joseph John Thomson
is a glass tubing with electrodes, namely, the anode (+) and the cathode (+), at each end
cathode ray tube
proposed that the atom is a positively charged sphere filled with negatively charged particles known as electrons held by the attractive forces between the two.
Thomson
Another significant event happened in 1909 when _______ discovered the nucleus and the proton through his now-famous gold foll experiment
Ernest Rutherford
Rutherford by proposing that electrons are not stationary as they move around the nucleus in fixed circular orbits known as energy levels. He called this new model the _____ in 1913.
planetary model
