Scientists Flashcards
Niels Bohr
Electrons in specific orbits
Louis de Broglir
Electrons in orbitals
J.J. Thompson
Discovered electron using cathode ray
Robert Millikan
Discovered charge of electron using oil drop experiment
Ernest Ritherford
Found that most of an atom is empty space and there is a nucleus
Discovered protons
Gold foil experiment
James Chadwick
Found neutrons
Henry Mosley
Determined atomic number of elements using x-Rays
Heisenberg uncertainty principle
Cannot determine both location and velocity of electron at the same time
Max Planck
Light consists of both particles and waves
Pauli Exclusion Principle
Electrons cannot have same quantum numbers
Cannot have two electrons with same spin in one orbital
Five ideas of Dalton’s atomic theory
1) all matter is made up of atoms
2) all atoms of an element weigh the same, and different atoms of different elements have different weights
3) atoms cannot be divided, created, or destroyed
4) atoms combine in simple whole number ratios
5) in chemical reactions, atoms are combined, separated, or rearranged
