What did John dalton describe an atom as in 19th century
Solid spheres and different spheres were made up different elements
1 of 10
Who found out from their experiments that atoms weren’t solids spheres
J J Thomson
2 of 10
What was the plum pudding model
That atom must contain even smaller negatively charged particles - electrons
3 of 10
Who created plum pudding model
J J Thomson
4 of 10
Who showed that plum pudding model was wrong
Rutherford
5 of 10
How was the plum pudding model shown as wrong
Gold foil experiment - fired positively charged alpha particles at extremely thin sheet of gold
6 of 10
With the gold foil experiment what was EXPECTED to happen and why
The particles to pass straight through the sheet or be slightly deflected bc there was THOUGHT to be a lot of positive charge throughout atom
7 of 10
what ACTUALLY happened in the gold foil experiment
Most particles did go through some were deflected and some even deflected baCkwArDs
8 of 10
What was ruthorfords theory to explain his evidence from gold foil experiment
Nuclear atom - there’s a tiny positively charged nucleus in middle, surrounded by a cloud of negative electrons
9 of 10
What did Bohr suggest
That electrome only exist in fixed orbits or Shells nowhere in between - fixed energy
