How have Dalton’s ideas about atoms have changed?
Dalton viewed atoms is invisible speares. Now we know they contain protons, neutrons, and electrons
atomic particles arranged in an atom
Protons and neutrons are in the nucleus. Electrons are in the shells around it.
Charges and relative mass of the three subatomic particles
Protons = relative charge = = + one relative mass = 1 neutrons = relative charge = one relative mass = plus one electrons = relative mass = one/1835 relative charge equals = - one
atoms have no overall charge
Put on an electrons are equal number cancelling their charges
How does the size of an atom compared to the size of a nucleus?
Nucleus is tiny compared to an atom, about 100,000 times smaller
where is the most of the mass of an atom Found
Nucleus
What is the meaning of mass number?
it is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom and it defines that element
how do you atoms of different elements value?
Different atomic numbers to a different number of protons. All element elements of the same element have the same atomic number.
how can you determine the number of protons in an atom?
Atomic number Z = = number of protons
You determine the number of electrons in an atom
Atomic number a - atomic number Z = number of neutrons
What is meant by an isotope?
of the same element with the same protons but different neutrons (mass numbers)
Relative atomic masses of any element, not a whole number
additive atomic mass takes into account the present and abundance of all isotopes of an element when calculating the relative atomic mass
