Q

What is Dalton’s Theory? (4)

A
  1. All matter is composed of atoms
  2. All atoms in an element are the same and different from atoms in another element
  3. Compounds - Combined atoms of unique elements in fixed proportions
  4. Chemical reaction = rearrangement of atoms

Q

What did JJ Thomson determine in 1897? (7)

A
  1. Discovered that electron
  2. Used the Cathode Ray Tube
  3. Electrons have a high charge - mass ratio
  4. Atoms are divisible
  5. Protons = Electrons
  6. Since matter is neutral
  7. Positive charges is evenly spread out, and negative charges are in bits

Q

Plum Pudding Model?

A

Imagine a big, soft, spongy dessert like a plum pudding (or, in modern terms, a chocolate chip cookie). In this model, the pudding or cookie dough represents the positive charge, which is spread evenly throughout the atom. The chocolate chips (or plums) are the electrons, which are negatively charged particles scattered throughout this positive charge. The electrons are the “bits” within the atom.

This was Thomson’s idea of how the atom was structured before the discovery of the nucleus, which later models revealed was not quite right.
