Why was Rutherford's model flawed?

Rutherford's model of the atom, depicting electrons in a cloud around the nucleus, was flawed because the electrons would be attracted to the nucleus, causing the atom to collapse.

What did Bohr propose?

Niels Bohr suggested that electrons orbit the nucleus in fixed shells, like rungs on a ladder.

What evidence supported Bohr's theory?

Bohr's theory of atomic structure, with electrons in fixed shells, was supported by many experiments and helped explain other scientists' observations.

What did experiments reveal about the nucleus?

Experiments by Rutherford and others showed that the nucleus could be divided into smaller particles. These particles were later identified as protons.

What did Chadwick discover, and what was its impact?

James Chadwick discovered neutrons, neutral particles found in the nucleus. This discovery led to a more accurate model of the atom, known as the nuclear model.

Study Notes

The Modern Periodic Table

  • Chemists developed the modern periodic table, as the structure of the atom was better understood
  • The periodic table helps to see patterns in the properties of elements
  • There are 100+ elements, all materials are composed of these elements
  • Elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number (proton number)
  • The periodic table shows repeating patterns in the properties of elements
  • It's useful for quickly identifying elements as metals or non-metals
  • Elements with similar properties form columns (groups)
  • The vertical columns are called groups
  • The elements in a group usually have the same number of electrons in their outer shell
  • The elements in a group are likely to react in a similar manner
  • The rows are called periods, each new period represents another full shell of electrons
  • The periodic table is a useful tool for understanding chemical behaviour
