Atomic Theory

Chemistry Mix n Match

1) All matter is composed of extremely small particles called atoms that can’t be destroyed or created
2)Atom of any element are identical to one another
3)Atoms of different elements combine in specific ratios to form compounds
4)Chemical reactions,atoms are separated,rearranged,and recombined to form new compounds

Neutron

Chemistry Mix n Match

A particle discovered by the Curie-Joliot experiment and first mistaken-ed as gamma rays. It wasn’t effected by magnetic or electric fields and named neutrons because it didn’t posses a charge. It’s found in the nucleus.

Max Planck

Chemistry Mix n Match

A German Physicist in the 1900, proposed that energy could behave like particles in the form of tiny discrete energy packets or bundles he called quanta.

James Chadwick

Chemistry Mix n Match

Demonstrated that the beam Irene Joliot Curie discovered wasn’t gamma rays but was a particle with the same mass as a proton (neutrons).

Ernest Rutherford

Chemistry Mix n Match

Studied at McGill University in Montreal
Discovered radioactivity involved emission of 2 kinds of particles, alpha and beta.
Discovered that an atom contained a small highly dense positively charged center, known as the nucleus.

Oil Drop Experiment

Chemistry Mix n Match

The oil drop experiment was performed by Robert A. Millikan and Harvey Fletcher in 1909 to measure the elementary electric charge (the charge of the electron). The experiment entailed observing tiny charged droplets of oil between two horizontal metal electrodes.

Gold foil experiment

Chemistry Mix n Match

The Rutherford-Geiger Experiment is also known as the Gold Foil Experiment. They were a landmark series of experiments by which scientists discovered that every atom contains a nucleus where its positive charge and most of its mass are concentrated.
