Q

What is an electron shell?

A

An electron shell is an area found around the nucleus that will probably hold electrons. It is not a physical ‘hard ring’ but an area where electrons may be ‘found’. An energy level

Q

Who is Ernest Rutherford?

A

Ernest Rutherford is a Nobel Laureate scientist who worked in Manchester and Cambridge who proposed that the had a nucleus with electrons surround it and that the atom was working in empty space.

Q

What is the Geiger and Marsden experiment?

A

It is an experiment that used the scattering of alpha particles on gold leaf to suggest that some particles were deflected by large concentration leading to the idea of an atom with a nucleus.

A

John Dalton is the scientist that suggested that atoms were small like billiard balls.

17
Q

What is magnitude?

A

Magnitude is the size of something.

18
Q

What is a mass number?

A

Mass number is the combined total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.

19
Q

What is a nanometre?

A

A nanometre is a unit used to measure very small things (one billionth of a metre).

20
Q

What does negligible mean?

A

Negligible means that something is so small that it isn’t significant; essentially zero.

21
Q

What does neutral mean?

A

Neutral means having no overall charge.

22
Q

What is a neutron?

A

A neutron is a small particle which does not have a charge found in the nucleus of an atom.

23
Q

Who is Niels Bohr?

A

Niels Bohr is the scientist that proposed that electrons orbit the nucleus in fixed orbits called shells.

24
Q

What is the nucleus?

A

The nucleus is the central part of an atom that contains protons and neutrons.

25
Q

What is a proton?

A

A proton is the small positive particle found in the nucleus of an atom.

26
Q

What is a radius?

A

A radius is the straight line from the circumference to the edge of a sphere.

27
Q

What is relative atomic mass?

A

Relative atomic mass is the average mass of an atom compared to the mass of 1/12th of a carbon-12 atom.

28
Q

What is standard form?

A

Standard form is a way of writing very large numbers with one number before the decimal point multiplied by a power of 10.
