Q

What did the scientist who performed the Golf Foil experiment think was supposed to happen to the atom? What actually happened?

A

he thought the atom was just going to pass through the foil, but instead some parts of it also bounced off

Q

What did Thomson’s atom model look like?

A

It was a circle with electrons evenly spaced out in it (and the space that wasn’t an electron and filled up the rest of the circle was positive)

Q

What is the difference between Rutherford and Thomson?

A

Thomson discovered the electron and that it was negatively charged (cathode ray tube experiment), while Rutherford discovered the nucleus of an atom through his Gold Foil experiment

17
Q

What was the Chadwick’s experiment?

A

Bombarding Beryllium with alpha particles

18
Q

What was the name of Millikan’s experiment?

A

Oil Drip experiment

19
Q

What people didn’t change the model of the atom?

A

Dalton and Rutherford

20
Q

What 5 points did the atomic theory boil down to?

A
  1. There are more than 4 elements. All of them are made of atoms
  2. Atoms of the same element have the same mass and properties
  3. Chemical reactions have to follow the conservation of mass
  4. Atoms combine in simple whole # ratios to form compounds (Law of Multiple Proportions)
  5. Compounds contain fixed and constant proportions of its component elements (Law of Definite Proportions)
21
Q

What did Dalton’s atom model look like?

A

It was just a circle

22
Q

Who wrote the paper on the atomic theory?

A

Dalton

23
Q

What did Chadwick do?

A

He discovered the nuetrons

24
Q

Was Democritus an actual scientist?

A

No.

25
Q

What did Rutherford do?

A

Discovered that there’s a nucleus at the center of the atom with his Gold Foil experiment

26
Q

Who completed the Gold Foil experiment and discovered the nucleus of an atom?

A

Rutherford

27
Q

What is an extensive property?

A

A property that depends on the amount of matter in the sample

28
Q

What is an intensive property?

A

A physical property that doesn’t change no matter how much substance there is

29
Q

What is a pure substance?

A

A substance made up of 1 single substance (element/compound)

30
Q

What is a mixture?

A

A combination of 2 or more pure substances; can be homogeneous or heterogeneous

31
Q

What is it called when a substance changes into 1 or more new substances?

A

It undergoes a chemical change

32
Q

What is an isotope?

A

It’s when atoms are chemically identical yet have different atomic weights.

33
Q

What is the atomic number?

A

The number of protons

34
Q

What is the atomic mass?

A

Protons + neutrons

35
Q

What are isotopes caused by?

A

It’s caused by a varying number of neutrons

36
Q

How can the parts of an atom vary?

A

Protons = type of element changes
Neutrons = mass changes and isotope is created
Electrons = atom becomes ion

37
Q

What happens if a neutral atom looses electrons?

A

It gets a positive charge (cation)

38
Q

What happens if a neutral atom gains electrons?

A

It gets a negative charge (anion)
