Front Back
Question 1
Which scientist had this model of an atom?
Dalton
Question 2
Which scientist had this model of an atom?
Rutherford
Question 3
Which scientist had this model of an atom?
Thomson
Question 4
Which scientist had this model of an atom?
Schrodinger
Question 5
Which scientist had this model of an atom?
Bohr
Question 6
What was Dalton's main discovery?
All matter is made out of atoms. Atoms of one element are identical.
Question 7
What was Thomson's main discovery with his Plum Pudding model?
The atom is made out of two parts: the negative ELECTRON and a postive piece
Question 8
What were Rutherford's two main discoveries?
1-The atom is mostly empty space 2-There is a positively charged NUCLEUS
Question 9
What wasBohr's main discovery with his planetary model?
The negative electrons move in orbits around the nucleus
Question 10
How is Bohr's model of the atom different from the one we draw today?
We draw NEUTRONS in the nucleus Bohr did not know about this when he made his model. He thought the nucleus had only positive particles.
What was Chadwick's main discovery?
The NEUTRON
What is the current model of the atom?
Answer 12
The electron cloud model
In which model do the electron move rapidly around the atom (not on orbits or rings)?
Answer 13
The electron cloud model
Which part of the atom has a POSITIVE charge?
The Positive PROTON
Which part of the atom has a NEGATIVE charge?
The negative ELECTRON
