This ancient Greek philosopher said atoms were indivisible and called them “atomos.”
Democritus
This particle carries a positive charge and defines the element.
Proton
Atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons are called this.
Isotopes
What is made when:
# protons > # electrons
Positive Ion Or Cation
Most of the atom is made of
Empty space
His model showed electrons orbiting the nucleus like planets around the sun.
Niels Bohr
This particle is neutral and found in the nucleus.
Neutron
For the following iso-ion, find number of neutrons

18
What is made when:
# protons < # electrons
Negative Ion or Anion
This model shows electrons in circular energy levels around the nucleus.
Bohr Model
This scientist proposed the first atomic theory with solid spheres called the “billiard-ball model.”
John Dalton
What is the mass of protons, neutrons, and electrons?
P = 1 amu
N= 1 amu
E= 0 amu
For the following iso-ion, find number of neutrons, protons, and electrons.

P=20
N= 20
E= 18
What is made when:
# protons = # electrons
Neutral atom

Gets hit by a bus/Breaks her neck
He discovered the electron using a cathode-ray tube.
J. J. Thomson
This number tells you how many protons are in the nucleus.
