characteristics. * 1897: JJ Thomson discovered electron and isotopes‚ and invented the mass spectrometer. * 1898: Marie Curie discovered and isolated radium‚ a new element which unprompted disintegrated into other elements. This proved that the atoms of one element at least were not indivisible. * 1911: Ernest Rutherford established that the nucleus was very dense‚ very small and positively charged. He also assumed that the electrons were located outside the nucleus. * 1922: Niels Bohr

is electricity? Where does it come from? How does it work? Before we understand all that‚ we need to know a little bit about atoms and their structure. All matter is made up of atoms‚ and atoms are made up of smaller particles. The three main particles making up an atom are the proton‚ the neutron and the electron. Electrons spin around the center‚ or nucleus‚ of atoms‚ in the same way the moon spins around the earth. The nucleus is made up of neutrons and protons. Electrons contain a negative

ISOTOPES:ABUNDANCE AND ATOMIC MASS LAB Prelab A new atomic theory‚ in which all atoms of the same element are identical to one another and equal in mass‚ was proposed by the scientist Dalton. Although the theory had its flaws and was simple‚ it was revolutionary. Scientists became able to study the actual structure and mass of atoms after the discovery of radioactivity. Soon‚ isotopes were discovered‚ as atoms of the same element which have been built up to have different masses. Purpose The

Atomic Spectrum is a series of lines of color produced when light from an excited atom is passed through a prism. It is also known as a line spectrum. Each element has its own unique atomic spectrum. Because of their unique nature‚ atomic spectra are also referred to as the "fingerprints of the elements." The series of lines of color that an atom will produce is related to the locations of the electrons on that atom and their relationship with the nucleus. Atomic spectra were fundamental pieces

simulation‚ you will investigate how atoms’ electronegativity value affects the bonds they produce. When two atoms bond‚ a pair of electrons is shared between atoms. Electronegativity is a measure of a single atom’s ability to hoard electrons shared in that bond. In this lab you will work diligently‚ at your own pace‚ to answer a number of questions. To begin‚ from what you’ve already learned about the protons and electrons in an atom‚ what would cause an atom to have a high electronegativity value

Current‚ Voltage and Power * Electricity is the flow of electric charge. We can describe the flow of electric charge in several ways. These include the quantities Current‚ Voltage and Power. Current * Current (I) is the rate of flow of Charge Carriers‚ such as electrons. Current is usually thought of as moving in the direction of positive charge‚ so from the positive power supply to the negative. However‚ since in metals it is electrons that carry electric charge‚ the actually flow is opposite

9.1 Orbitals and Theories of Chemical Bonding 1. Which one of the statements concerning valence bond (VB) and molecular orbital (MO) bond theories is correct? a) MO theory predicts that electrons are localized between pairs of atoms. b) In VB theory‚ bonding electrons are delocalized over the molecule. c) MO theory accurately describes bonding in O2 and NO‚ VB theory does not. d) VB theory can describe molecular bonding in excited states. e) MO theory is used to accurately predict
