Questions and Answers

According to the Plum Pudding Model, what was the expected behavior of particles passing through the uniformly positively charged sphere?

They were expected to be repelled by the nucleus.

They were expected to pass through with little or no deflection. (correct)

Study Notes

Models of the Atom

According to the Plum Pudding Model, particles passing through a uniformly positively charged sphere were expected to behave in a certain way.

Discovery of the Electron

J.J. Thomson is credited with discovering the electron through the Cathode Ray Tube Experiment.

Rutherford's Gold Foil Experiment

Rutherford's Gold Foil Experiment revealed that atoms have a small, dense, positively charged nucleus at their center.

Bohr's Planetary Model

In Niels Bohr's Planetary Model, electrons occupy specific energy levels (or orbits) around the nucleus, and the main characteristic is that electrons in different orbits have different energy levels.
When an electron returns to its ground state, it produces radiation, which is caused by the release of excess energy.

Electrically Neutral Atom

The Plum Pudding Model proposes that an atom is electrically neutral due to an equal balance of positive and negatively charged electrons.

Quantum Mechanical Model

Erwin Schroedinger's Quantum Mechanical Model proposes that electrons move in a probabilistic manner, and their position and momentum cannot be precisely known at the same time.

Electron Cloud Model

In the Electron Cloud Model, an orbital represents the probability distribution of finding an electron within a specific region around the nucleus.

Uncertainty Principle

Werner Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle states that it is impossible to know an electron's precise position and momentum simultaneously.

Aufbau Principle

The Aufbau Principle is about electron configuration, stating that electrons occupy the lowest available energy levels in an atom.

Quantum Numbers

The Principal Quantum Number (n) is used to determine the energy level of an electron.
The Magnetic Quantum Number (m sub l) determines the orientation of an orbital around the nucleus.
The concept of 'fully paired' and 'unpaired' electrons is associated with the Spin Quantum Number (m sub s).
