Term
Democritus, Greek
Definition
Proposed “atomos” as basic building blocks of matter. Changes in matter came from changes in arrangement of atoms
Term
Aristotle, Greek
Definition
Disagreed with Democritus. He challenged a basic assumption that these atoms must move through nothingness. Believed in “hyle.” More influential philosopher.
Term
John Dalton , British
Definition
Revived Democritus’ ideas because they were supported by modern observations including laws of conservation of mass, definite proportions and multiple proportions.
Term
Dalton's atomic theory?
Definition
1. All matter is composed of extremely small particles (atoms). 2. Atoms of the same element are identical, and different than those of any other element. 3. Atoms cannot be created, divided, or destroyed. 4. Different atoms combine in small whole number ratios to form compounds. 5. In a chemical reaction, atoms are separated, combined, or rearranged.
Term
Cathode Rays
Definition
Beam of particles traveling from cathode to anode.
Term
JJ thompson, British
Definition
After studying cathode rays in the presence of different gases, both magnetic and electrical fields he concluded that the particles were part of all matter and negatively charged.
Term
Discorvery of the first subatomic particle?
Definition
JJ Thompson
Term
Thompson calcuated a ______/______ ratio. He concluded that the particel was smalled than hydrogen, the smallest atom.

Robert Millikan, American
Definition
Millikan was able to counteract gravity by adjusting the charge on his two plates. Using Thomson’s ratio he also established the mass of the (electron).
Term
DAltons theory needed its first modification. which was
Definition
Atoms could be divided into subatomic parts. The electron was part of every atom, had a negative charge, and a mass of about 1 /2000 th of hydrogen.
Term
Dalton's atomic Theory?
Definition
1. All matter is composed of extremely small particles (atoms). 2. Atoms of the same element are identical, and different than those of any other element. 3. Atoms cannot be created, divided, or destroyed. 4. Different atoms combine in small whole number ratios to form compounds. 5. In a chemical reaction, atoms are separated, combined, or rearranged.
Term
In the absence of data to the contrary, JJ Thomson assumed that
Definition
the light negative particles were spread throughout the atom like “plum pudding” or like a chocolate chip cookie
Term
Ernest Rutherford, New Zealand
Definition
Gold Foil Experiment
Rutherford sent α particles through gold foil to determine what portion of the atom was positively charged. Very few particles were deflected from target.
Term
Blow up of gold foil – positive particles would be deflected by the positive part of the atom. Rutherford concluded that the positive part of the atom is a densely packed core (a small volume he called a nucleus). Nucleus accounts for most of the mass o

Term
Henry Moseley British(1887-1915
Definition
Confirmed Rutherford’s theory that the nucleus contained positively charged particles (protons.) Protons carry a charge equal but opposite to that of the electron.
Term
James Chadwick, British
Definition
Discovered the neutron, also contained in the nucleus. A neutral particle, it carries no charge. The neutron has a mass approximately equal to a proton.

Isotopes
Definition
atoms which have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.
Term
Daltons Theory needed its second Modification.
Definition
Daltons Atomic Theory – 1. All matter is composed of extremely small particles (atoms). 2. Atoms of the same element are identical, and different than those of any other element. 3. Atoms cannot be created, divided, or destroyed. 4. Different atoms combine in small whole number ratios to form compounds. 5. In a chemical reaction, atoms are separated, combined, or rearranged.
Term
The weighted average atomic mass depends on the
Definition
isotopes of the element and their relative abundance.
Term
Radioactivity
Definition
a process in which atoms spontaneously emit radiation (particles and energy) in order to achieve a more stable state.
Term
Radioactivity is peculiar to certain
Definition
isotopes in which piling protons and neutrons together produce unstable nuclei.
Term
Radioactive decay
Definition
– unstable nuclei losing energy by emitting radiation.
Term
Radioactive decay is a
Definition
is a natural nuclear reaction.
Term
Nuclear reaction
Definition
reactions which involve a change to the atom’s nucleus.
Term
In a nuclear reaction both the mass and
Definition
charge of the nuclei must balance.
Term
The beta particle =
Definition
an electron.
Term
Beta radiation has the effect of
Definition
destroying a neutron to produce a proton and electron. The electron is emitted and the atomic number increases by 1.
Term
Gamma rays accompany
