The Particle model Flashcards
What is the charge of an atoms nucleus?
Positive
In what environment would the relative mass of an atom change?
It is constant across all environments
Sub atomic particles of an atom
Electron, proton, neutron
What happens when atoms absorb electromagnetic radiation?
Electrons move to a higher energy level further away from the nucleus
What can be emitted by atoms to change the electron arrangement in an atom?
Radiation
Who discovered the nucleus?
Ernest Rutherford
What are the units for density?
g/cm^3
Specific heat capacity
Amount of energy needed to increase the temperature of 1kg of that substance by 1 degree
What is another term for melting point?
Fusion temperature
What happens to the energy supplied during a change of state at both the melting and boiling points?
Kinetic energy remains constant while potential energy increases
Energy change for energy change of state
energy = mass x specific latent heat
Units for latent heat of vaporisation
J/kg
Momentum equation
mass x velocity
Density equation
p = m/v
Latent heat
E = mL
