This part of Dalton's theory was later disproven because atoms can be divided into subatomic particles.

What is "ATOMS ARE INDIVISIBLE"?

400

The correct order of these events by scientists is: cathode ray experiment, gold foil experiment, Bohr model, Uncertainty principle.

What is THOMSON, RUTHERFORD, BOHR, THEN HEISENBERG?

400

This particle changes when forming an isotope, and this one changes when forming an ion.

What are neutrons and electrons?

400

An aluminum ion with +3 charge has this many electrons

What is 10?

400

These are the two things that are the same for isotopes of the same element.

What are protons and electrons?

400

This term is defined as the weighted average of isotopes?

What is AVERAGE ATOMIC MASS?

800

Rutherford's model failed to explain why electrons didn't collapse into the nucleus, but this model introduced stable energy levels.

What is the BOHR MODEL?

800

The observation that some alpha particles bounced back from gold foil proved this part of the atom exists.

What is the NUCLEUS?

800

This subatomic particle contributes to atomic mass but not to atomic number.

What is a neutron?

800

Because it only loses one electron to be stable sodium forms this instead of Na2+

What is Na+?

800

These are the nuclear symbols for hydrogen’s three isotopes.

What are ¹H, ²H, and ³H?

800

H-1 is more abundant because hydrogen's atomic mass is closer to this than 2.

What is 1?

1200
This principle explains why we draw electron clouds instead of fixed orbits in modern models.

What is the UNCERTAINTY PRINCIPLE?

1200

Bohr's planetary model work for hydrogen but not for larger atoms because it only explained one of these subatomic particles.

What is an ELECTRON?

1200

An oxygen atom with mass 17 has this many neutrons and electrons.

What are 9 neutrons and 8 electrons?

1200

An atom with 15 protons and 16 neutrons forms a -3 ion. It has this many electrons.

What is 18?

1200

Neutron-to-proton ratio explains why this version of carbon is stable but carbon-14 is radioactive.

What is carbon-12?

1200

An element with isotopes X-10 (20%) and X-11 (80%) has this average atomic mass.

What is 10.8 amu?

1600
This scientist's discovery of the electron contradicted Dalton's model of atoms as solid spheres.

Who is J.J. THOMSON?

1600
These two scientists contributed uncertainty and wave mechanics, forming the quantum model.

Who are HEISENBERG AND SCHRODINGER?

1600

The arrangement of these subatomic particles in energy levels determines chemical reactivity

What are electrons?

1600

Electron repulsion and electron loss is that makes these larger and smaller, respectively than their neutral atoms.

What are ANIONS and CATIONS?

1600

This is the method scientists use to determine isotope ratios in a sample.

What is mass spectrometry?

1600

This isotope is more abundant of boron's atomic mass is 10.81

What is B-11, Boron-11, or 11B?

2000

This atomic model combines both wave and particle ideas of electrons.

What is the QUANTUM MECHANICAL MODEL?

2000
These two types of technology drove advances in atomic models during the 20th century.

What are PARTICLE ACCELERATORS and SPECTROSCOPY?

2000

Neutrons are required for this kind of stability, and having too many or too few causes radioactivity.

What is nuclear stability?

2000

Based on periodic trends, magnesium forms this type of ion and chlorine forms this type.

What is Mg2+ cation and Cl- anion?

2000

The discovery of isotopes disproved this part of Dalton's theory.

What is THAT ALL ATOMS OF AN ELEMENT ARE IDENTICAL?

2000

The average atomic mass of magnesium, given isotopes Mg-24 (79.0%), Mg-25 (10.0%), Mg-26 (11.0%), is this value.
