Atoms Flashcards
name of the first atom experiment model
plum pudding model
what was the plum pudding model?
a solid positive charge packed with negative electrons
what experiment disproved the plum pudding model?
alpha scattering experiment
what did the alpha scattering model prove?
that the atom was mainly empty space
what model was proposed from the alpha scattering experiment?
the nuclear model
what did the nuclear model consist of?
a nucleus in the middle, containing protons and neutrons, with electrons circling around it
where is the atomic mass?
above the chemical symbol
where is the proton number?
below the chemical symbol
how do you find the number of electrons in an atom?
the same as protons
how do you find neutrons?
mass number - protons = neutrons
what is the name of group 7 elements?
halogens
how reactive are group 7 elements?
highly reactive
what are group 0 elements named?
noble gases
how reactive are group 0 elements?
inert
how does the reactivity change as you go down group 7?
decreases, as the amount of electrons increase
