20
Q

Who discovered the electron?

21
Q

What is the plum pudding model of an atom?

A

A ball of positive charge with negative electrons embedded within

22
Q

Who performed the gold foil experiment?

23
Q

Who created the nuclear model for an atom?

24
Q

What did the gold foil experiment prove?

A

There was space within the atom

There is a positive nucleus within

25
Who discovered that electrons orbit the nucleus in shells?
Bohr
26
Who discovered neutrons within the nucleus?
Chadwick
27
What is the radius of an atom?
0.1nm / 1x10 (to the power of)-10 m
28
what is the radius of a nucleus?
1 x 10 (to the power of) -14 m
29
what is the relative charge of a proton, a neutron, and an electron?
+1, 0, -1
30
what is the atomic number of an element?
The number of protons in it | It is always the smallest number
31
how do you work out the number of neutrons in an element?
mass-atomic
32
what are isotopes?
Atoms of the same element with a different number of neutrons different mass numbers
33
What is the relative atomic mass of an atom?
a weighted average of the masses of the atoms of the isotopes.
34
What is the formula to calculate the relative atomic mass?
The total mass of atoms / total number of atoms
35
Why did Mendeleev leave gaps in the periodic table?
- For undiscovered elements | - To predict the properties of undiscovered elements
36
what is the electric structure of an atom?
the way electrons are arranged in an atom
37
properties of metals
``` Good conductor of electricity Good conductor of heat Shiny High density Malleable Ductile ```
38
properties of non metals (when solid)
Good conductor of electricity Poor conductor of electricity Poor conductor of heat Dull Low density Brittle
39
what are the elements in group 0 known as
noble gases
40
what common properties do all noble gases share
low boiling points
41
what happens as you go down group 0
- the atoms become larger - intermolecular forces between atoms become stronger - more energy is needed to overcome these forces
