Whos model first introduced the concept of energy levels?
1. What were the major problems of Daltons atomic theory? His first two postulates
were incorrect.
2. Whose model was nicked name the plum pudding model? Tomson
3. Which experiment verified that atoms could NOT be solid and the center had a positive
charge? Rutheford
4. What did Rutherfords gold foil experiment show about the atom? The neucleas was
positivly charged
5. Rutherfords model of the atom was most similar toBohrmodel.
6. What atomic models did not have empty space? Tomson

What is the formula used to find the mass of an atom? Mass = # protons + # neutrons

Part 4: Calculating Atomic Mass and Percent Abundance

Formula for Atomic Mass:
Atomic mass = (atomic mass of isotope #1 X relative abundance of isotope #1) + (atomic
mass of isotope #2 X relative abundance of isotope #2)
Formula for Percent Abundance:
Atomic mass = (atomic mass isotope #1)(X) + (atomic mass isotope #2)(1-X)
