C4 - Atomic Structure

?
What is the nucleus of an atom made up of?
protons and neutrons
1 of 15
Where are the electrons found?
In shells around the nucleus
2 of 15
What is the relative charge of electrons?
-1
3 of 15
What is the relative charge of protons?
+1
4 of 15
What is the relative charge of neutrons?
0
5 of 15
What does the atomic number mean?
The number of protons
6 of 15
What does the mass number mean?
The number of protons and neutrons
7 of 15
What are isotopes?
Elements with the same atomic number but different mass numbers
8 of 15
What can be deduced in isotopes?
The different numbers of neutrons
9 of 15
What order are elements in the periodic table arranged by?
By order of increasing atomic number
10 of 15
What do the rows mean?
Each row number is the number of electron shells of the atom
11 of 15
What are arranged vertically?
Elements in the same group(same number of electrons in outer shell)
12 of 15
What are arranged horizontally?
Elements in the same period (in order of how many shells)
13 of 15
How can the electronic structure of each of the first 20 elements be worked out by?
Using the atomic of the element and the maximum number of electrons in each shell
14 of 15
What is the development of the atomic theory?
Early theory by John Dalton but was later confirmed by better evidence. Thompson, Rutherford and Bohr found new evidence which changed the model of the atom. Geiger and Marsden had some unexpected results which made significant contributions to it.
