what did j.j. Thomson discover 

he discovered that an atom is not just a hollow circle but has things called electrons in the atom 

100
what is rutherfords experiment called 

it is called the gold foil experiment  

100

Witch Alfa particles passed through 

the particles that didnt hit anything passed right through 

100

what are the symbols for protons neutrons and electrons 

protons =p+

neutrons =n 

electrons= e-


100

what are the components of daltons theory. 

1 everything is made of atoms 

2 atoms of the same element are alike

3 different elements have different atoms 

4 atoms can be joined together to make compounds 

5 atoms are rearranged during chemical reactions 

200

What is thomsons atomic model 

he thought the atom was a ball of positive stuff with tiny negative electrons stuck inside it 

200

What did Rutherford expect to see. What happened instead 

he thought most Alfa partisans would go through the gold foil but instead what happened id that some where deflected while some bounced back.  

200

Which Alfa particles  bounced back 

the ones that hit the nucleus bounced back 

200

What is the amu or atomic mass unit of a proton and neutron 

1 amu 

200

What was boars atomic model 

Bohr said electrons move around the nucleus in a specific orbit around the nucleus 

300

Was thomsons idea true why or why not 

thomsons idea was not completely true he did correctly discover that atoms also have negatively charged particals called electrons. He thought that the positive charge was spread throughout the atom with electrons stuck inside   

300

What did Rutherford discover 

he discovered that atoms have tiny dance middles called the nucleus 

300

Which Alfa particles where diflected 

the particals that came very close to the nucleus where pushed away or deflected 

300

Why are electrons not counted when calculating the atoms mass 

Electrons are supper tiny in mass compared to neutrons and protons that they will bearable make a difference in the mass 

300

What is a isotope 

An isotope is an atom of the same element that have different numbers or neutrons 

400

What is Rutherford atomic model 

his modle showed that their is a tiny dance middle called the nucleus with electrons around it and that it is mostly empty space between them 

400

What is an atomic mass number 

the mass number tells you the total number of protons and neutrons combined 

500

Pop questions 

what is the difference between an atomic mass number and a cell 

an atom is the smallest part in ALL matter cells are the smallest part of ALL LIVING things 

500

What and who discovered the atom

an atom in the tiny foundation of ALL matter and a Greek philosopher Democritus  gave the idea of the atom
