Topic 1 Lesson 1 Flashcards
Who are the major contributors to atomic theory?
John Dalton, J.J. Thomson, Ernest Rutherford, Niels Bohr, James Chadwick, Democritus
What did John Dalton discover/model?
He proposed that atoms can’t be divided, same element = same mass, element can’t change, compounds for when more than one element combine. (Came up with Atomic Theory) Ball like structure
What did J.J Thomson discover/model?
He discovered that atoms contain negatively charged particles called ELECTRONS, he also reasoned that atoms have positively charged particles because scientists knew atoms had no overall charge. “Plum Pudding Model”
What did Ernest Rutherford discover/model?
Rutherford discovered that like charges repel each other, NUCLEUS deflects + particles, most of an atom is empty space so particles pass straight through, the nucleus is small but dense, has a positive charge (PROTONS) and particles that hit it bounce straight back. Gold foil model.
What did Niels Bohr discover/model?
Electrons orbit in ENERGY LEVELS , electrons must gain energy to move to a higher energy level, and they must lose energy (seen as a photon of light) to move to a lower level. (Orbit model)
What did Democritus discover?
He didn’t have any evidence, however he came up with the idea of an atom.
Cloud model?
Electrons orbit is “general area” around an atom.
Modern atomic theory (Chadwick)
A neutral particle (NEUTRON) was discovered using the atoms mass, it has the same mass as a proton.
What makes up an atom?
Protons, neutrons, and electrons
Charge, mass, location of a PROTON
Charge=+, Mass=1amu, Location=NUCLEUS
Charge, mass, location of a NEUTRON
Charge=neutral, mass=1amu, location=nucleus
Charge, mass, location of a ELECTRON
Charge=(-), mass=~1/1840amu, location= outside nucleus in energy levels
How are these particles used to define each isotope of an element by mass #, atomic #, and charge
The number of protons in an element signifies what element it is. An element can have many different isotopes (stable or radioactive) which are found by adding the neutrons and protons. The charge is seen by seeing the difference between the electrons and protons.
TIME TO DO THE PHET GAME!

How are the elements arranged? (present and past)
Currently, elements are arranged by their atomic number, but in the past elements were arranged by their mass
