Who proposed the Billiard Ball Model of the atom in 1803?

Niels Bohr
John Dalton (correct)
J.J. Thomson
Ernest Rutherford

What did John Dalton's Billiard Ball Model assume about atoms?

Atoms are made up of smaller particles called protons, neutrons, and electrons
Atoms are like billiard balls, solid and indestructible (correct)
Atoms have a planetary model with electrons orbiting the nucleus
Atoms are continuously emitting radiation

What did Dalton's model fail to account for?

The behavior of atoms in chemical reactions
The concept of atomic number
The size and shape of atoms
The existence of subatomic particles (correct)

What is the main limitation of Dalton's Billiard Ball Model?

Explain the concept of isotopes and how they are calculated in relation to an element's atomic structure and composition.

Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons. They are calculated by subtracting the atomic number from the atomic mass number to determine the number of neutrons. Signup and view all the answers

Describe the process of forming ions and provide an explanation of how ions are related to the number of protons and electrons in an atom.

Ions are formed when an atom gains or loses electrons, resulting in a net positive or negative charge. The number of protons and electrons in an ion determines its charge. Signup and view all the answers

Explain why atomic masses are not expressed as whole numbers and provide insight into the factors that contribute to this phenomenon.

Atomic masses are not whole numbers because they account for the presence of isotopes and their relative abundance in nature. The weighted average of the isotopic masses results in non-integer atomic masses. Signup and view all the answers

Discuss the similarities and differences of various atomic models, and provide a comparison of their fundamental principles and representations of the atom.

Atomic models such as Dalton's Billiard Ball Model, Thomson's Plum Pudding Model, and Rutherford's Nuclear Model differ in their depiction of the atom's structure and behavior. However, they all share the concept of an atomic nucleus containing protons and neutrons, with electrons orbiting around it. Signup and view all the answers

Explain the significance of the atomic number in identifying an atom and elucidate how it is used to determine the identity of an element.

The atomic number represents the number of protons in an atom, which uniquely identifies the element. It is used to determine the identity of an element because each element has a distinct atomic number, defining its chemical properties and position in the periodic table.
