who is Democritus

he is a central figure in the development of the atomic theory of the universe

100

What is the main idea of John Dalton


All matter is composed of extremely small particles called atoms

100

what is the discovery of J.J. Thomson

the electron

100

what is  James Chadwick  discovered?


 he discover the neutron

100

What was Niels Bohr known for?


He adapted Rutherford's nuclear structure to Max Planck's quantum theory and created the Bohr model, the most widely accepted model of the atom.

200

What is Ernest Rutherford best known for?


Ernest Rutherford is known for his pioneering studies of radioactivity and the atom.

200

What did Ernest Rutherford do to discover?


postulated the nuclear structure of the atom, discovered alpha and beta rays, and proposed the laws of radioactive decay.

200

What was Thomson's conclusions?


  the rays were negatively charged and moved around the positive charge.

200

Why did J.J. Thomson do his experiment?


Thomson wanted to see if, by bending the rays with a magnet, he could separate the charge from the rays.

200

What was Democritus known for?


a central figure in the development of the atomic theory of the universe.

300

What is the Dalton's atomic theory?


A theory of chemical combination

300

What did Dalton discover about the atom?


 all matter is made of atoms, which are indivisible.

300

What is John Dalton best known for?


introducing the atomic theory into chemistry and for his work on human optics.

300

What was Ernest Rutherford's gold foil experiment?


A piece of gold foil was hit with alpha particles, which have a positive charge. Most alpha particles went right through. This showed that the gold atoms were mostly empty space.

300

What did Rutherford's foil experiment reveal?


 atoms are mostly empty space, with the positive charge concentrated in a nucleus.

400

What is Niels Bohr atomic theory?


 Electrons revolve around the nucleus in stable orbits without emission of radiant energy.

400

What theory did Bohr discover?


quantum theory

400

How did Chadwick detect neutrons?


How did Chadwick detect neutrons?


400

What experiment did Chadwick carry out?


beryllium bombardment

400

What did Chadwick discover in 1932?


the core also contained a new uncharged particle, which he called the neutron.

500

How did Democritus theory explain?


 atoms were uniform, solid, hard, incompressible, and indestructible and that they moved in infinite numbers through empty space until stopped.

500

What discovery did Democritus make?


all matter was formed of different types of tiny discrete particles

500

What was Democritus model called?


atomos

500

Who discovered atom before Dalton?


The Greek philosopher Democritus

500

What is Dalton's theory for dummies?


 each atom of an element was identical to other atoms of the same element, and they combined together in specific ways to form the more complex substances we see in our universe.
