Here is answers to Review HW for Atomic Structure - Revised 2022-2023
1a) Democritus
1b) atmos
2)
a) Atoms are the smallest particle of matter (it is indivisible).
- Subatomic particles exist (electron, proton, neutron)
b) Atoms of the same element are identical including mass.
- Isotopes - atoms of same element that are different by mass (# of neutrons)
c) Atoms of different elements are different including mass.
d) Atoms combine to form compounds in a simple whole number ratio
3) a. Total number of atoms are conserved.
b. Number of each type of atom are conserved.
4) He placed two pieces of metal (atoms) in a vacuum (locate with very few air particles) and electrify the two pieces of metal. He saw a green glow going between two pieces of metal. He then exposed the green glow to a magnetic and the glow bend away from the negative end of the magnet. to the positive end of the magnet, This showed that the green glow was not light but a negative particle. He called it corpuscles, we call it electrons. He changed the power of the magnet and the glow bend more less that explains that the charge to mass ratio of the electron was a constant. This indicates that there is only one type of electron.
5) Plum Pudding Model
6)
