Term

Who am I?

I developed an early atomic theory during the late 1700's that stated atoms can combine with other

atoms ....but only in simple whole number ratios.

I was an English chemist and physicist.

Definition

John Dalton

Term

Who am I?

I was an English physicist who lived from 1856-1940.  I was the one who coined the phrase "electrons" and offered to my colleagues the "plum pudding" model of the atom.  My research findings were based upon

my observations and manipulations of the cathode ray.

Who am I?

I was from England and discovered the subatomic

particle known as the neutron in 1932.  For my work

I received a Nobel Prize.

Term

Which subatomic particles are

found in the nucleus of an atom?

Definition

Term

Which subatomic particle is found orbiting

the nucleus of an atom?

Definition
electrons
Term
What is the relative charge of a proton?
Definition
+1
Term
What is the relative charge of a neutron?
Definition

Neutrons are neutral.

They have NO charge.

Term
What is the relative charge of an electron?
Definition
-1
Term

True or False

 

Atoms are electrically neutral.

Definition
True
Term

True or False?

 

The nucleus of an atom houses protons and neutrons.

The protons and neutrons have relatively the same mass, hence the mass of an atom is found within the nucleus.

Definition
True
Term

True or False?

 

The nucleus of an atom is positively charged.

Definition

True.


Since protons are positive and neutrons are neutral, the atom's nucleus has an overall positive charge.
