Science Test Flashcards
Every subatomic particle has 1amu of mass except one has 0
electron
Democriitus
Father of modern atomic though said matter made of small particles called atoms
Dalton
created atomiv theory which said atoms are tiny particles atoms of different elements are different atoms of one element are sameatoms combine to form compounds
Jj thompson
discovered electrons plum pudding
Bohr
Electrons electron shells
Rutherford
gold foil experiment discovered atoms are mostly empty space and have a dense center called nucleus
Chadwick
discovered the neutron
Isotopes
atoms of an element have same number of protons different neutrons
Atomic mass
average weight based on abundance
Mendeelev
created peiodic table based on on atomic mass number of protons and neutrons Mostly changed peoridoc table to be arranged by atomic number
Ions
atoms that contain a uneven number of protons and electorns which result in postive or negative charge
Atomic number
tells us how many protons and electrons
neutrons
subtract number of protons from atomic mass
