Difference (from prior major revision) (no other diffs)

Changed: 3c3,29

1) Dalton



2a) A green "glow" of light

2b) That green "glow" was not light (since it bend direction when exposed to magnet) but a negative particle (moved away from negative end of magnet) coming out the metal (represents an atom). We call them electrons.

2c) Plum pudding model



2d) The "plum" are the electrons (negative circles/spheres) with everything else being positive.



3a) Rutherford, nucleus

3b) Rutherford "shot" a bullet (actually positively charged alpha particle) thru gold leaf that was inside an "egg" with inside surface of egg coated so that you could see where alpha particle hit it.

3c) There is a high mass, small volume, positively charge center called nucleus and rest of atom is empty space where electrons reside.



4a) Movement/pathway of electrons (e-).

4b) Energy levels

4c) Electrons move (revolve) in energy levels like planets around the Sun.

4d) Planetary model

4e) Nucleus (positively charged, high mass, small volume center), electrons outside nucleus rest of volume of atom empty space.

4f) That electrons (in energy levels) revolve around nucleus like planets around Sun.



5a) All electrons are in the LOWEST AVAILABLE ENERGY LEVELS.

5b) Absorb a discrete (specific) packet size of energy

5c) Excited state of atom

Def: NOT all electrons are in the LOWEST AVAILABLE ENERGY LEVELS in atom

Energy is emitted (goes out of atom) from atom

5e) Atom is back in the Ground State

5f) Nothing (atom does absorb any discrete packet size of energy.
