Who proposed that everything was made of tiny particles, called “atomos”, surrounded by empty space?
Democritus
believed that compounds were combinations of atoms from different elements that could not be created or destroyed
John Dalton
J.J Thompson won a Nobel prize for his discovery of
Electrons
J.J Thomson…
A Believed the atom was a sphere of positive matter packed with negative electrons
B. Believed there that matter contained 4 elements-earth, fire, wind, and water
C. Believed that matter is composed of space
A
Who is famous for the gold foil experiment?
Ernest Rutherford
Ernest Rutherford showed atoms…
Have a dense nucleus
What scientist was the first to conclude through experimentation that atoms have positive charges in their nuclei
Rutherford
Atoms of the same element must
Contain the same number of protons
An increase in atomic number is related to an increase in atomic mass because
More protons are present in the atomic nucleus
Which of these conclusions can be drawn from Rutherford’s experiment?
A Each atom contains electrons.
B. The nucleus of an atom can be split.
C. Each atom contains protons.
D. Atoms are mostly empty space
D
The two main parts of an atoms are its
Nucleus and electron energy levels
The number of orbitals in the second principle energy level of an atom (n=2) is:
4
Orbitals are not occupied by:
A. 0 electron
B. 1 Electron
C. 2 Electrons
D. 3 Electrons
D
Which sublevel can be occupied by a maximum of 10 electrons
d
The atomic mass is, which of the following added together
Protons+Neutrons
An atom which has a charge due to losing or gaining electrons is called a/an
Ion
What three numbers are always the same in the neutral atom
Atomic number, protons and electrons
According to atomic theory electrons are usually found
Outside the nucleus and often far from it of - most of an atoms volume is its electron cloud
If you want to know which atom and element is then count then count the
Protons
When you change the number of electrons of an atom, you produce a different
Ion
Changing the number of neutrons of an atom changes its
Isotope
Which particles have approximately the same size and mass of each other
Protons and neutrons
The three basic components of an atom are
Protons, neutrons and electrons
Atoms of the same element with different mass numbers are called
Isotopes
