10635835942John DaltonProposed that matter is composed of tiny particles called atoms. He postulated that all atoms of one element are the same but are different from atoms of another element. Atoms combine to form compounds.0
10635835943Wilhelm Rontgenphysicist who discovered X-rays1
10635835944JJ ThomsonShowed that cathode rays are streams of negative particles. He is credited with discovering the electron and measured its charge to mass ratio. He postulated that all atoms contain electrons.2
10635835945Robert MillikanMeasured the charge of an electron and calculated its mass.3
10635835946Henri Becquerelfrench physicist who discovered radioactivity in uranium4
10635835947Ernest RutherfordHe discovered the atomic nucleus and the proton and showed that atoms were mostly empty space - investigations in to the structure of the atomic nucleus - father of nucleur physics5
10635835948AtomsConsist of a tiny dense positively charged nucleus surrounded by a cloud of negative electrons. They are electrically neutral because each contains equal numbers of protons and electrons.6
10635835949NucleusContains positively charged protons and neutral neutrons.7
10635835950AnionsWhen atoms gain electrons to form negatively charged ions8
10635835951CationsWhen atoms lose electrons to form positively charged ions9
10635835952Atomic numberthe number of protons in the nucleus10
10635835953Elementa substance all of whose atoms contain the same number of protons. Each element is defined by its atomic number11
10635835954Mass numbernumber of protons and neutrons in the nucleus12
10635835955Isotopesatoms of identical atomic numbers but different mass numbers13
10635835956Atomic Mass Unitamu. One amu equals 1.66054 * 10^24g. It is more useful to compare the masses of atoms to the masses of one carbon-12 isotope. One C12 atom has a defined mass of exactly 12 amu.14
10635835957Atomic MassThe weighted average mass of all the isotopes of an element based on the abundance of each isotope found on earth. Atomic masses are expressed in amu. All atomic masses reported on the periodic table are based on the carbon 12 standard.15
