Are basic units of matter and the defining structure of elements
atom
The term “atom” comes from the Greek word for _________
indivisible
they are made up of even smaller particles which are called
Subatomic particle
very small particle that is a building block for atoms
Subatomic particles
3 types of subatomic particles
1.) Electron
2.) Proton
3.) Neutron
Subatomic particle that possesses a positive electrical charge
Proton
Subatomic particle that posses a negative electrical charge
Electron
subatomic particle that has no charge associated with it that is, it is neutral
Neutron
small, dense, positively charged center of an atom
Nucleus
any subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom
nucleon
-contains all the Electrons
- accounts for most of the volume of an atom the electrons move rapidly about the nucleus
The outer (Extranuclear) region
number of protons in the nucleus of an atom
Atomic number
sum of the number of protons and the number neutrons in the nucleus of an atom
mass number
Are atoms of an element that have the same number of protons and the same number of electrons but different numbers of neutron
Isotopes
is simply itss total mass and is typically expressed in atimic mass units or amu
Atomic mass (amu)
- two different elements have the same atomic weight or mass number but different atomic number
- this means that the have the same number of nucleous
Isobar
Different elements having the same number of neutrons
Isotones
- Earliest proponent of anything resembling modern atomic theory was the ancient Greek thinker _______
Democritus
proposed the existence of the indivisible atoms as a response to the arguments of PARMENIDES and the PARADOXES OF ZRNO
Demotricus
- modern atomic theory
- Published hs theory in 1803
John dalton
Proposed that the atom is a sphere of (+) particles to which are embedded (-) particles
Joseph John Thompson
Disapproved Thompsons model using the “Gld foil/FILM experiment”
Ernest Rutherford
Developed the Raisi- Bread Model or plum Pudding Model
Joseph John Thompson
Developed the Planetary Model
