The bottom left number on an element,
Example: Beryllium has a bottom left number of 4, this number signifies waht?
Be 4
The its’ atomic number is 4
Atoms contain equal numbers of protons and electrons (assuming the atom is neutral)
Protons and neutrons
the upper left number on an atomic symbol signifies what?
Example: Lithium has an upper left number of 6 what does this mean?
6 L
Its atomic mass is 6
the higher electrons are in the orbitals then the ………
More energy they have
smaller particles that make up atoms are called
subatomic particles
What did Thomson’s cathode- ray tube experiment show?
that the cathode ray was full of negatively charged particles
that the particles had mass and were real
he was seeing electrons
was Thomson’s model of an atom correct (Plum pudding model)
no
What did Rutherford’s gold foil experiment show?
that a concentrated positive charge existed somewhere within the atom
what are positively charged molecules
Protons
what are neutrally charged particles
neutrons
What make up the nucleus
Protons and neutrons
What states that the closer two charges are the greater the force between them
Columb’s Law
number of the protons and electron in an atom is shown by the
Atomic number
The mass number tells you the total (sum of) the…..
Protons and neutrons
in isotopes the mass number can also be written as
element-5
example: helium-4
atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons are called
isotopes
What did Rutherford’s model show
it showed electrons orbiting the nucleus like planets orbit the sun
what did Bohr’s model show
it showed electrons that can only be a certain distance away from the nucleus, and each distance corresponds with a quantity of energy an electron has
electrons have both ____ and _____ properties
particle and wave properties
describe the present day model of an atom
the nucleus is surrounded by a kind of electron cloud that do not have sharp boundaries..
the _______ is the distance between two consecutive peaks of a wave
Wavelength
the _______ of a wave is how many peaks there are in a given section of a wave
frequency
So as the frequency gets higher the wavelengths get ______
Shorter
an electron at its lowest possible energy state is at
Ground state
