Here are answers to 2021-2022 Honors Chem328 Review HW for Atomic Structure - Greeks thru Rutherford.


1a) Democritus     1b) atomos

2ai) Atoms are indivisible (smallest particle)

2aii) Atoms of the same element are the same including mass

2aiii) Atoms of different elements are different including mass

2aiv) Atoms combine in simple whole number ratios (those group particles we call Compounds)


2bi) Incorrect, have subatomic particles (protons, neutrons, electrons)
2bii) Incorrect, have isotopes
2biii) FOR OUR CLASS, CORRECT
2biv) Correct


3a) Total number of atoms are conserved (thru chemical reaction and physical process)

3b) Each individual type of atom is conserved (thru chemical reaction and physical process)


4ai) Discovered electron. He exposed a magnet to what looked like a beam of "green light" coming out of a piece of metal (i.e. atom of a metal). Beam deflected away from the negative side of magnet meaning "green light" was actually particles that were negatively charged.

4aii) There only one type of electron.

4b) Plum Pudding atom model - Atom is made up of positive sphere with electron distributed throughout.

5) Chadwick discovered the neutron (circa 1940s)

6) Nucleus has three characteristics. They were determined from observing a"smaller than atom" positive particles being "shot" at a gold atom (gold leaf) to see where they went after going thru atom. Here is what was found out (three characteristics of nucleus):

a) Massive (most of mass) - A very few bounce particles bounced back
b) Small volume (atom mostly empty space) - most particle "passed straight thru"
c) Positively charge - some particle deflected a little


7) Nuclear model - atom is made up of nucleus and rest of the volume of the atom is mostly empty space where electrons are located.

8) Electrons and how they move/located outside of nucleus in empty space/volume of atom
