Term
What is Dalton's model for lead?
Definition
A circled 'l'.
Term
What is Dalton's model for gold?
Definition
A circled 'g'.
Term
What is an elements atomic number?
Definition
The number of protons an element contains.
Term
What is an atom?
Definition
An atom is an indivisible particle.
Term
What is an element?
Definition
An element is a pure substance made up of the same type of atom.
Term
What is an elements mass number?
Definition
An elements mass number is it's protons + it's electrons.
Term
What is an isotope?
Definition
An isotope is an unstable atom with a different number of protons.
Term
Who were the scientists that contributed to major elemental research? (in order from first to last).
Definition

Democritis

Dalton

Mendeleev

Becquerel, Curie, Rutherford

Thompson

Geiger

Milikin

Moseley

Chadwick

Bohr

Term
How did Democritis contribute to the timeline?
Definition

He had the first coherent atomic theory, that matter could not be divided indefinitely.

*led to the idea of atoms.

Term
How did John Dalton contribute to the timeline?
Definition

Dalton created the first modern atomic theory, refered to as the "Billiard ball" model which stated that atoms are solid and indivisible.

 

Based this model on experimentation instead of reason.

-All matter is made of atoms.

- Each element has different atoms.

- Atoms of an element are identical.

- Atoms of different elements combine in constant ratios to form compounds.

- Atoms are rearranged in reactions.

Term
How did Becquerel, and Curie contribute to the timeline?
Definition
They were one of the first to discover radioactivity.
Term
How did Ernest Rutheford contribute to the timeline?
Definition

Rutheford was one of the first to discover radioactivity.

He also identified an atom's nucleus,

confirmed the proton existed,

and proposed the neutron exisited.

Term
How did JJ Thompson contribute to the timeline?
Definition

Thompson discovered the positive charge in the nucleus.

He also discovered the electron.

 

*Developed the "Plum Pudding model" that showed that negative electrons in a positive framework.

Term
How did Rutheford and Geiger contribute to the timeline?
Definition
They identified the atom and nucleus.
Term
How did RA Miliken contribute to the timeline?
Definition
He determined the mass of electrons.
Term
How did Moseley contribute to the timeline?
Definition
Moseley determined the atomic number of the elements.
Term
How did Chadwick contribute to the timeline?
Definition
Chadwick identified the neutron.
Term
How did Bohr contribute to the timeline?
Definition
Bohr delveloped the model self-titled "Bohr's model" which represents an atom's structure.
