Study Notes

Atomic Structure and Models

  • Bohr's atomic model: Focuses on electron arrangement in orbits around the nucleus.
  • Rutherford's discovery: Identified the atomic nucleus and its positive charge.
  • Schrödinger's contribution: Defined regions of high probability for electron location.
  • Democritus: First philosopher to propose the existence of atoms, calling them indivisible.
  • Thomson's discovery: Identified the electron and its negative charge.

Subatomic Particles

  • Proton: Positively charged subatomic particle.
  • Electron: Negatively charged subatomic particle.
  • Neutron: Subatomic particle with no charge.
  • Nucleus: Center of the atom, containing protons and neutrons.

Atomic Models and Theories

  • Dalton's atomic theory: Posits that matter is made of indivisible and indestructible atoms.
