Atoms Exam 2024

atom - answer are so small that we can't see them, scientists must rely on indirect
evidence to make models of atoms
- a model is an attempt to use familiar ideas to describe unfamiliar things in a visual way

Democritus - answer “atom" comes from the word the Greek word "Atomos" which
means indivisible
- idea that all matter is made up of atoms was first proposed by Greek philosopher
Democritus in the 5th century

John Dalton (1766 - 1844) - answer performed experiments that showed that matter did
consist of some kind of basic lumpy particles
- elements are made out of particles that are all alike

Joseph John Thompson (JJ) - answer performed experiments with the cathode ray tube
and discovered that atoms could sometimes eject a far smaller negative particle which
he called an *electron*
- plum pudding model
- discovered electrons

their energy)
-electrons with more energy are located farther away from the nucleus

elements was double the number of protons - discovered the neutron in 1932

the present atomic model - answer- electrons are likely to be found moving in certain
regions around the nucleus of an atom
-these regions are called electron clouds
-each electron cloud has a definite energy level

isotopes - answer atoms of the same element can have a different number of neutrons
