negative, based on the negative end of a magnet repelling the beam in the Cathode Ray Tube Experiment 

What is the charge (+/-) of an electron?

100

positive subatomic particle

What is a proton?

100

electrons

What subatomic particles are we organizing in an electron orbital diagram 

100

Describes the spin of an electron 

What is the magnetic spin, ms

200

First Atomic Theory

What did John Dalton contribute to atomic history?

200

this experiment used varying voltage and charged plates to suspend/slow down a particle. Results yielded exact charge and size of an electron.

What is the oil drop experiment?

200

protons and neutrons

What two subatomic particles make up the atomic mass?

200

states that you must fill in lowest energy levels first

What is the Aufbau principle?

200

s,p,d,f

What are the shapes of electron orbitals?

They are: s- sphere, dumbell, cloverleaf, complex

300

This model was developed after JJ Thomson's Cathode Ray Tube Experiment.

What is the Plum Pudding Model?

300

The gold foil experiment established two things about the structure of an atom:

(1) atoms are mostly empty space

(2) atoms have a compact, positive nucleus

300

same number of protons, different number of neutrons

What is an isotope?

300

says that each sublevel must be filled with at least one electron before doubling them up

What is Hund's rule? (bus rule counts)

300

Magnetic quantum number m

What quantum number describes the number and orientation of an orbital?

400

discovered neutrons experimentally in 1932

Who is James Chadwick?

400
alpha particles bouncing off of the gold foil

What evidence supports atoms having a positive, compact nucleus?

400

atom with 13 protons 

What is Aluminum?

if n=2, what can l be?

l = 0, 1 

500

disproved the Bohr's model of the atom; gives probability for finding an electron in an orbital around the nucleus; quantum numbers

What are the solutions to the wave equation?

500

neutral charged particles bombard the proton-heavy paraffin wax and release a positively charged particle
