Neutral particle of the atom
Neutron
This is where neutrons and protons are found
Nucleus
Philosopher who proposed the idea of an atom as a indivisible ball
Democritus
What can be used to understand new information, like results of experiments?
Analogies
What is the difference between an atom and isotope of the same element?
They have the same number of protons (atomic number) but different number of neutrons (atomic mass)
Name of the unit of measure of the mass of a proton
Atomic Mass Unit (amu)
What is the atomic mass of an atom?
The amount of protons and neutrons of an atom
Scientist who proposed the idea of the atom as an indivisible ball which make up all matter
Dalton
Who didn't use any experiment to prove what he proposed about the existence of atoms?
Democritus
If an atom gets or loses a neutron, what would change, its atomic mass or atomic number?
Atomic mass
All atoms of the same element have the same amount of what?
Protons
What is the atomic number of an atom?
The amount of protons in the nucleus of an atom
Scientist who discovered the existence of electrons
Thomson
What did the cathode-ray experiment proved?
The existence of electrons
In the hyphen notation, the name of the element is written and then a hyphen followed by what?
The atomic mass of the isotope
Energy levels (Energy shells)
Relative mass of a proton and/or neutron of an atom
1 amu
How does Rutherford's model compare with Thomson's?
Rutherford model has a nucleus and in Thomson model looks like a chocolate-chip cookie
What did the gold-foil experiment proved about the atoms?
That atoms are mostly empty space with electrons surrounding the nucleus.
What do you get when you subtract the number of protons from the atomic mass of an isotope?
Atoms have the same amount of these particles, making them neutrally charged overall
Protons and electrons
Relative mass of an electron of an atom
1/2000 amu (or practically 0 amu)
What is the smallest subatomic particle that was theorized in the 60's but confirmed until 2012?
Higgs Boson
Name of the machine that help prove the existence of the Higgs boson?
LHC (Large Hadron Collider)
What is gotten by multiplying the atomic mass of an isotope times its abundance percentage of an specific element?
The average atomic mass of the element
