A Blast from the Past
What is the plum pudding model?
What is a proton?
Electrons may be smaller than protons but they have the same magnitude, which is this, just negative.
What is 1?
Finish the pun: Hey, want to hear a joke about potassium?
What is K?
Helium nuclei are what I truly am, Stopped by paper, I'm not much of a slam. Named for the first letter of a Greek alphabet, In smoke detectors, I'm the safety net. What type of radiation am I?
Who is Ernest Rutherford?
This man's model is still used today to explain atoms, although not exactly, exact. He stated that electrons move around in orbitals and can shift orbitals when excited.
Who Niels Bohr?
What is a neutron?
What is protons?
Finish the pun: What did the chemist say when she found two isotopes of helium?
What is HeHe?
I proposed that all matter was made of tiny particles, My ancient Greek ideas were quite remarkable. Though I lived around 400 BCE without modern tools, My atomic theory would later inspire scientific rules. Who am I?
Who is Democritus?
What is fire, water, air, and earth?
"I may be negative, but I still have plenty of friends. There is hope for you as well!" ~ Said this subatomic particle
What is electrons?
Electrons cannot be found in the nucleus. They are too busy hanging out here.
What are orbitals?
If H2O is the formula for water, what is the formula for ice?
What is H20 cubed?
My name comes from Greek for "water-forming," When oxidized, energy release is quite warming. I'm the lightest element but pack energy dense, Stars fuse me to helium, reactions immense. Future fuel perhaps, though storage is tricky, In the periodic table, I sit at position one quickly. What element am I?
What is hydrogen?
This man hypothetically killed his cat to prove a point. Or did he? I still don't understand...
Who is Erwin Schrodinger?
Two particles live in this structure and one wrote a note saying, "Thanks for letting me live here, free of charge!"
What is the nucleus?
This current atomic model explains how electrons move in much more than just circular orbitals.
What is the quantum mechanical model?
Finish the pun: What do you with a dead chemist?
What is Barium?
I cause fizzy drinks to bubble and bake, And help your bread and cakes to rise and take shape. In fires I'm dangerous, but plants breathe me in, Solid form of me makes quite the cooling spin. What compound am I?
What is CO2?
This man said that the atom is mostly empty space, which was an eh explanation. But thank goodness, he discovered the nucleus (protons)!
Who is Ernest Rutherford?
"Sometimes in a relationship you need to define what you are. My element and me have come together and officially announced we are together" ~ Said this atomic molecule.
What is a compound?
Electrons are a lot, a lot, a lot, smaller than protons and neutrons. As a matter of fact, they are this much smaller.
What is 1/2000th the size?
Finish the pun: People say I'm obsessed with chemistry jokes...
What is Berrylium I'm Not...?
I'm the experiment that disproved the plum pudding model, When alpha particles bounced back, a new atomic theory could coddle. My assistants Geiger and Marsden shot particles at gold foil thin, Revealing a nucleus at the center, causing science to spin. A New Zealand physicist who won the Nobel Prize, Who am I?
