Is gold/helium/ethanol/sodium chloride an element, an ionic compound, or a molecular compound?
*Gold: element *Helium: element *Ethanol: molecular compound *Sodium Chloride: ionic compound
J.J. Thompson (1897)
Electrons (negatively charged particles).
Robert Millikan (1909)
Mass and charge of an electron
Plum-pudding Model
E- distributed throughout diffuse, positively charge sphere
Henri Becquerel (1896)
Invisible radiation, consisting of charged particles
Radioactivity
Spontaneous emission of high energy radiation and particles (Beta, Alpha)
Beta Particles/Alpha Particles
*Beta: high energy electrons (B). *Alpha: +2 charge, mass=He nucleus (a).
Rutherford
Gold foil experiment (test Thompson's model of the atom).
James Chadwick
Bombarded a thin sheet of beryillium with alpha (a) particles; named neutrons (radiations third type of subatomic particle consisted; electrically neutral).
The Nucleus
Positively charged center of an atom (contains nearly all of the atom's mass); consists of two particles: protons & neutrons.
Protons/Neutrons
*Protons: positively charged subatomic particles (+1). *Neutrons: electrically neutral subatomic particles (0).
What is the distance in a nucleus measured in?
Picometers
Atomic Mass Unit (AMU)
Unit used to express the relative masses of atoms ad subatomic particles (equal to 1/2 of a carbon atom); 1 AMU = 1 Dalton (Da).
What was the measurement 'Dalton' from?
Named for the English chemist John Dalton.
How many different isotopes does Neon have?
Three
