Study Notes
Atomic Theory
- An atom is the smallest unit of matter.
Dalton's Atomic Theory
- Atoms of the same element have the same mass.
Thomson's Model
- Thomson's Model proposes that electrons move in orbits around the nucleus.
The Cloud Model
- The Cloud Model suggests that electrons do not move in fixed orbits around the nucleus.
Atomic Structure
- A neutron is a particle in the nucleus with no charge.
Atomic Discovery
- Ernest Rutherford discovered that the nucleus is the positively charged center of the atom.
- Niels Bohr suggested that electrons move in orbits around the atom's nucleus.
Atomic Terms
- The sum of protons and neutrons in an atom is called its mass number.
- Dmitri Mendeleev discovered and published the first periodic table.
- The average mass of all isotopes of an element is known as its atomic mass.
Isotopes
- An isotope is an atom with the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons.
Periodic Table
- Periods in the periodic table are rows.
- Valence electrons are electrons in the outermost energy level.
Physical Properties of Metals
- Metals have physical properties such as high luster, ductility, and malleability.
Compounds
- A compound is a substance formed with atoms of two or more elements together in fixed ratios.
