Unit 1 Flashcards
Composition of an atom
- Electrons (Negative surrounding)
- Nucleus
- Protons (Positive)
- Neutrons (Neutral)
Determining Number of Protons or Electrons
Atomic Number
Determining number of neutrons
Atomic mass - atomic number = # of neutrons
Number of Electrons per Shell (first 20)
1st shell - 2
2nd shell - 8
3rd shell - 8
4th shell - 2

Periods Details
Horizontal - number of shells
Lewis Notation
Shows number of valence electrons through points
Ions
Atoms with a positive or negative charge
Study Tendencies
Democritus vs Aristotles Theory’s
Democritus: Indestructible & identical particles - indivisible Atomos (Discontinuous)
Aristotle: combination of elements - infinitely divisible (continuous)
Dalton Atomic Model
“Billiard Ball”
- Composed of indivisible particles (Atoms)
- Same element identical/Distinct from other elements
- Different elements form compounds in fixed ratios
- Atoms rearrange to form compounds in chemical reactions
Thomson’ s Atomic Model
“Plum Pudding”
- Divisible atom where negative electrons were embedded in a positively charged sphere
Thomson’s Experiment
Observation 1: A glowing ray appeared regardless of type of metal used
Conclusion 1: All atoms must have whatever particles in the ray; atoms can be divided
Observation 2: Ray reacted magnets (attracted to +)
Conclusion 2: Particles have a negative charge
Observation 3: Ray made pinwheel spin
Conclusion 3: Particles in ray are solid objects
Rutherford’s Model
“Beehive”
- Positive nucleus containing protons surrounded electrons (in any fashion)
Rutherford Experiment
Observation 1: Almost all alpha particles passed through the gold foil
Conclusion: Atoms are mostly empty space
Observation 2: Some alpha particles were deflected from their course
Conclusion 2: Since alpha particles are positive, there must be a positive charge on atom
Observation 3: A very small amount of alpha particles were deflected at extreme (large) angles - almost rebounding
Conclusion 3: Positive charge must be concentrated in very small space
Bohr’s Sun & Planet Model
“Planetary Model”
- Orbits correspond to energy levels (shells)
- Energy gain (Electron jump further in orbit)
- Energy loss (Electron falls closer & emits light)
