Term
JJ Thompson
Definition
  • Discovered electrons through experiment cathode ray and showed it in the plum pudding model
Term
Rutherford
Definition
  • Gold Foiled experiment
  • Discovered nucleus has a positive charge and electons surrounding nuclus is just empty space
Term

Bohr

Definition
  • Combined other experiments and used knowledge .
  • Discovered electrons move in a fixed orbit around the nucleus.
  • Further away from nucleus--> higher energy level
  • To gain or lose E, you move to different energy levels
Term
Quantum Mechanic Model
Definition
  • Nucleus = small proportion of atom containing P & N
  • Empty spaces around nucleus w/ electrons = E cloud
  • Position & velocity of E cannot be percisely calculated. Can only be shown in an area of high probability known as the electron shell.
  • Lowest energy levels must be filled before electrons can move to any other level.
Term
Dalton's Atomic Theory
Definition
  1. All matter is made of atoms. Atoms are indivisible and indestructible.
  2. All atoms of a given element are identical in mass and properties
  3. Compounds are formed by a combination of two or more different kinds of atoms.

  4. A chemical reaction is a rearrangement of atoms.

Term
Atom
Definition
The smallest component of an element having the chemical properties of the element
Term
Isotope
Definition
  • One of two or more forms of a single element; the atoms of each isotope have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei. Thus isotopes have the same atomic number but differ in atomic mass
Term
Atomic Number
Definition
The number of protons in a nucleus. It determines the chemical properties of an element.
Term
Mass Number
Definition
The sum of the number of neutrons and protons in an atomic nucleus
Term
Ion
Definition
An atom or group of atoms that has either gained or lost electrons and so has an electrical charge
Term
Weak Force
Definition

Force that is he key to the power of the sun; responcible for a process known as radioactive decay

Term
Gravity
Definition

force acts between all mass in the universe and it has infinite range.

Term
Strong Force
Definition
Force that binds protons and neutrons in the nucleus
Term
Electromagnetic Force
Definition
Force of attration or repulsion between particles in an atom
Term
Atomic Mass
Definition
The average mass of all the isotopes in an element.
