in the periodic table. Both the alkali metals and the halogens (nonmetals) on considered to be main group elements. When the number of outer shell electrons is closer to one or seven the higher the elements reactivity. Alkali metals contain a single electron in their outer shell which makes them highly reactive and halogens contain only seven electrons in their outer shell. Noble gases‚ such as helium‚ are not reactive because they are chemically stable and will not combine with other elements. H₂S

heart of our understanding of the structure of atom. New Zealand scientist Ernerst Rutherford was the first to show that the atom is the building block of all matter that consists of a positively charged nucleus surrounded by tiny negatively charged electrons. The extraordinary achievements of these scientists have been instrumental development of chemistry over the past century. Today‚ we take the existence of atoms for granted. We can explain many aspects of the structure of the atom and in fact‚ current

The smallest particle of an element that retains the characteristics of the element is a(n) A) atom. B) electron. C) nucleus. D) neutron. E) proton. The correct answer is A)‚ atom. According to page 105 an atom retains the characteristic of that element. b) Describes the negative charge of a particle. Even though it has no mass it is not considered the

through ordinary matter almost unaffected. The neutrino (meaning "small neutral one") is denoted by the Greek letter ν (nu). Neutrinos are similar to the more familiar electron‚ with one crucial difference: neutrinos do not carry electric charge‚ which means that they are not affected by the electromagnetic forces which act on electrons. Neutrinos are affected only by the weak sub-atomic force‚ of much shorter range than electromagnetism‚ and gravity‚ which is relatively weak on the subatomic scale

He tested the origin and properties of cathode ray using a cathode ray tube. And his observation was with electricity‚ a metal plate produces a cathode ray. The model is called plum pudding model. Because it has negative charged particles named electrons inside atom. They can be removed or added to form an iron. * Loard Ernest Rutherford * Lord Ernest Rutherford came from Nelson New Zealand. In 1911‚ his observation was the atom should be‚ if the plum theory was correct‚ solid pudding‚

uncharged object until they touch‚ and then they will repel one another. When charged objects attract uncharged objects‚ such as when the negatively charged plastic comb or fur attracted the paper‚ the negatively charged comb/fur repelled some of the electrons in the paper. This results in a redistribution of charges in the paper so that one side is more negative than the other side. The net effect is that the paper is attracted to the comb/fur. This also applies to the balloon attracting an uncharged

The Progress of the Atomic structure Different theories about the atomic structure were introduced over time. These theories changed as a result of development of different experiments. Leucippus was the first to introduce the theory of atomism‚ however he didn’t write about his theories in detail. However‚ Democritus‚ his student wrote about the theory of atoms in detail. He theorised that everything was composed of atoms and that atoms are solid and indestructible. He also had a theory that

2.2 2.3 Shapes of molecules and ions 2.3a Electron pair repulsion theory a demonstrate an understanding of the use of electron-pair repulsion theory to interpret and predict the shapes of simple molecules and ions In a chemical species like a molecule or ion‚ pairs of electrons create negative centres that surround the central atom. These electron pairs repel each other and arrange themselves to be as far apart as possible‚ thus minimising repulsion.
