Explain what thompson found and how?
 
Thompson used a cathode ray tube and found that the positive ray was attracted towards the...
4
What did milikins oil drop experiment find?
 
It was an experiment that helped to determine the size and charge on an electron, the charge...
5
What did rutherford do?
 
He did the gold foil experiment, he shot positive particles at a gold foil, expecting them...
6
What did Chadwick discover?
 
He was calculating the mass of a specific nuclei, and the mass the got didn't match with the...
7
What were problems with the rutherford model?
 
if electrons are travelling in a circular orbit, they are constantly changing direction, meaning...
8
What was the significance of Max Plank?
 
He suggested that energies of vibrating atoms were multiples of small quantities of energy...
9
Explain the connection between the atoms energy and how hot it is
 
When an atom releases energy, it does it in a form of light, the hotter the atom, the smaller...
10
What is the photoelectric effect?
 
When there is light shone on a metal surface, electrons release from the surface of the metal,...
11
What did Einstein win a nobel prize for? ( 2+2)
 
He put planck's idea together with the photoelectric effect. So if one electron absorbs one...
12
What is a photon?
 
A photon is a packet of energy that corresponds to the frequency of the electromagnetic wave....
13
What is spectrosopy and who was it invented by?
 
Spectroscopy was invented by Robert Bunsen and Gustev Kirchhoff in the 1850s to study light....
14
What is a continous spectrum?
 
A display of all colours- dispersion (refraction) of white light through a prism
15
What is a dark line spectrum? 
 
Certain colours are missing from a display of colours produced by white light. Phonton absorbed...
16
What is a bright line spectrum?
 
when gas is energised by electricity or heat or light, the gas emits a specific light colour...
17
How do electrons travel in an atom and how much energy in each orbit?
 
Electrons travel in circular orbits, each orbit will have the same amount of energy that is...
18
What are electrons called when they are in the lowest energy level?
 
Ground state
19
What are the problems with the planetary model?
 
1) if electrons are accelerating, photons of electromagnetic radiation should be emiited, but...
20

21
What does each quantum number represent
 
1) Principle represents main energy level2) Secondary represents the shape of the orbital3)...
22
What did sommerfield contribute to the quantum numbers?
 
When he looked more closely at the H line spectrum, he found main lines of bright line...
23
What did pauli contribute to the quantum numbers and what is his exclusion principle?
 
He saw that each electron spins on its axis either clockwise or counterclockwise. He also said...
24
Explain difference between orbital and orbit
 
- Orbit is 2D, where electrons have a specific path, fixed distance from nucleus, and 2n^2...
25
What is an electron orbital?
 
Region of space where an electron may be found
26
What is Heisenberg's contribution to quantum numbers?
 
Heisenberg's uncertainty principle- we cannot know where an electron is or its speed at any...

What is Aufbau principle?
 
An energy level must be filled before moving on the next level
