(21 cards)
what year did John dalton make his version of the periodic table
1803
what year did j.j. Thomson make his version of the periodic table
1897
what year did Ernest Rutherford make his version of the periodic table
1909
what was the first part of daltons 3 part atomic theory
All substances are made of atoms. Atoms are small particles that cannot be created, divided, or destroyed.
what was the second part of daltons 3 part atomic theory
Atoms of the same element are exactly alike, and atoms of different elements are different
what was the third part of daltons 3 part atomic theory
Atoms join with other atoms to make new substances.
how did Thomson conduct experiments
used a cathode-ray tube
what was Thomsons proposal for the model of an atom
the “plum-pudding” model
what was the “plum-pudding” model
in which negative electrons are scattered throughout soft blobs of positively charged material.
what did the cathode ray tube show
Because the beam moved away from the negatively charged plate and toward
the positively charged plate, Thomson knew that the particles must have a
negative charge
relative charge of a proton
+1
relative charge of a neutron
0
relative charge of an electron
-1
relative mass of a proton
1
relative mass of a neutron
1
relative mass of an electron
1/1836 (almost zero)
why are atoms neutral
atoms are neutral because they contain the same amount of protons as electrons so the charges cancel each other out
where is most of the mass of an atom concentrated in
the nucleus
what are isotopes
isotopes are different atoms of the same element containingthe same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei
how to calculate the number of neutrons
mass number - atomic number
what differs isotopes from each other
isotopes have the samenumber of protons butdifferent numbers of neutrons, they are still atoms of the same element, but they have different atomic masses
