Atomic mass #
Average number of isotopes found in nature
Proton
Found in nucleus
Neutron, ___ subatomic particle
Found in nucleus, heaviest subatomic particle
Electron
Found outside of nucleus, lightest subatomic particle
Dalton
Father of Atomic Theory
Thomson
Discovered electron while using a magnet with a cathode ray tube, plum pudding model.
Rutherford
Discovered nucleus is positively charged, atoms are mostly empty space, gold foil experiment
Bohr
Put electrons into energy levels
Planck
All energy is quantized
Millikan
Used the oil drop experiment to determine the negative charge of electron
Schrödinger
Quantum mechanics/ electron cloud model. I like the o dots
Mendeleev
Father of the periodic table
Heisenberg
The uncertainty principle: You can’t determine both the location and velocity of an electron w/out affecting its path or speed
Aufbau Principle
Electrons eneter orbitals of lowest energy first
Pauli Exclusion Principle (PEP)
An atomic orbital includes at most 2 electrons, and they circle the nucleus in opposite directions
Hund’s Rule
When electrons occupy orbitals of the same energy, electrons will enter empty orbitals first.
Isotope
Different number of neutrons.
Atomic mass
The weighted average of an element’s naturally occurring isotopes
Atomic number =
protons
Mass number =
protons + neutrons
Ion
When an atom gains or loses an electron
Electron configuration order
SDPF (bottom one)
S
2 electrons max
P
6 electrons max
