    Study Notes

    Atomic Theory

    • A compound is a substance formed by the chemical combination of two or more different elements in a fixed proportion, with properties different from its individual components.

    Atomic Structure

    • Rutherford deduced that the nucleus of an atom is small, dense, and positively charged, with most of the atom's mass concentrated in it.

    Discovery of Subatomic Particles

    • J.J. Thomson discovered the electron, a negatively charged subatomic particle.

    Chemical Bonding

    • A Lewis Diagram primarily represents the arrangement of electrons in a molecule, illustrating the formation of covalent bonds between atoms.

    Bohr Model

    • The Bohr model signifies a major shift in atomic theory, introducing the concept of energy levels and electron jumps, where electrons occupy specific energy levels around the nucleus.

    Molecules vs. Compounds

    • The main difference between a molecule and a compound is that a molecule can consist of atoms from the same element (e.g., O2), whereas a compound consists of atoms from different elements (e.g., H2O).

    Dalton's Contributions

    • Dalton proposed that elements are composed of small, indivisible particles called atoms, and that compounds are formed when atoms of different elements combine in whole number ratios.

    Changing Understanding of the Atom

    • Our understanding of the atom has changed over time, shifting from the plum pudding model to the nuclear model, with the discovery of subatomic particles and a more nuanced understanding of atomic structure.

    Subatomic Particles and their Locations

    • Protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus of an atom, with protons having a positive charge and neutrons having no charge.

    Rutherford's Contribution

    • Rutherford deduced the existence and structure of the nucleus in an atom, proposing a small, dense, and positively charged center surrounded by electrons.

    Incorrect Statement

    • An incorrect statement from the answer sheet is not specified, as it depends on the context of the answer sheet provided.
