SUMMARY
QUESTIONS
How will today's technology help to
advance our study of atoms?
Can atoms really be split apart?
VOCABULARY
Atomos: Indivisible
Protons are positively charged
neutrons are neutral (no charge)
Electrons have a positive charge.
Nucleants : protons and neutrons inside the
nucleus.
NOTES
SUMMARY
QUESTIONS
Does each element have the same
amount of neutrons as well as protons
and elctrons?
VOCABULARY
NOTES
SUMMARY
Each atoms has their own makeup
that makes them unique and different.
There are many models of the atom
but Bohr's model helped as a
foundation for our current model.
QUESTIONS
VOCABULARY
Alpha Particles: Small positively charged
particles.
Nucleus: The small dense positively
charged center of an atom.
SUMMARY
QUESTIONS
Who did he work with to complete this
experiment?
NOTES
Rutherfords experiment was to fire alpha particles
(positively charged) through a sheet of gold foil.
There was an alpha particle beam that was shot
through the gold foil to see if every particle would
pass through.
To his surprise some of the atoms bounced back.
and did not go straight through the foil.
This helped him to make many theories about the
atom.
He concluded that the atom contains a small
dense nucleus. He also said that the nucleus
contained most of the atoms mass and that the
nucleus is positively charged and that the atoms is
mostly empty space and the electrons move
around this empty space.
VOCABULARY
SUMMARY
QUESTIONS
How many elements of the periodic
table have isotopes?
NOTES
An isotope is an atom with the same number of
protons but it can very in the number of neutrons.
For example, Carbon can be Carbon 11 Carbon 12
and Carbon 14
Isotopes do not change the atom itself but it
changes the mass of the atom.
Helium: it was 2 protons 2 electrons and 2
neutrons. If we add the protons and neutrons
together we get Helium 4
Atomic number 4: Protons 4 Neutrons 5 Mass 9
Isotope 9
Atomic Number 12: Protons 12 Neutrons 16 Mass
26 Isotope 26.
VOCABULARY
Ion: an atom that has a charge.
NOTES
SUMMARY
An ion is an atom that has either a
positive or negative charge. Atom lose
or gain electrons when a chemical
reaction occurs with the atom.
QUESTIONS
What are some different ions?
