all matter is made up of individual particles called atoms, which cannot be divided. | ||
noticed that the ratio of the masses of elements in a compound is always the same. | ||
like charges | ||
opposite charges | ||
provided evidence that atoms are made of even smaller particles | ||
Plum Pudding Model or the Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Model | ||
Discovered the Nucleus | ||
dense, positively charged mass located in the center of the atom. | ||
protons, electrons, and neutrons | ||
positively charged subatomic particle found in the nucleus of the atom | ||
a negatively charged subatomic particle found in the space outside the nucleus | ||
a neutral subatomic particle found in the nucleus of the atom | ||
have a similar mass | ||
is equal to the number of protons in an element | ||
is the sum of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom | ||
Equals the Mass Number minus the Atomic Number | ||
atoms of the same element that have differnt numbers of neutrons and different mass numbers | ||
the atom is like the solar system and the planets orbiting the sun | ||
The possible energies that electrons in an atom can have. | ||
Electrons move up an energy level | ||
Electrons move down an energy level | ||
most likely locations for electrons in an atom | ||
region of space around the nuclues where an electron is likely to be found | ||
when all electron in an atom have the lowest possible energies | ||
The most stable electron configuration |
