What does J.J Thompson say and do?
- An atom consists of one positive filled ball with electrons sprinkled in; the raisin bun/choco chip model

J.J Thompson
89
How did J.J Thompson figure out it was an electron?
By adding an electrical field and using a magnetic field
90
What did Ernest Rutherford discover and how?
He discovered the nucleus and did it by shooting positively charged particles (from a radioactive source incased in lead) at a thin sheet of gold foil
- Negative electrons in space around nucleus (Positively charged core)
91
What did Neils Bohr discover
- Electrons circle the nucleus at a fixed distance with fixed energy
- Energy exists in small units called quanta
- Discovered the energy levels by observing the light hydrogen makes when made to glow in a tube
92
What happens when atoms are heated?
When atoms are heated, bright lines called the line spectra appear
93
How do electrons emit a particular color of light?
Based on the element the electron belongs to and the gaps emit the light when an electron jumps from a higher energy level to a lower one
94
