Quarks
particles protons and neutrons are made up of
Two types of quarks
up quarks and down quarks
Each of these quarks has about
one-third of the mass of a proton or neutron and is electrically charged
Up quark
+2/3
Down quark
-1/3
_quarks are needed to make a proton or neutron
3
Protons
2 up quarks and 1 down quarks
Neutron
1 up quark and 2 down quarks
Quarks are held together by the
color force, a form of the strong nuclear force
Color force is a force that is much
stronger than the force binding protons and neutrons to each other
an atom normally has the _ _ _ _ number of protons and electrons and thus has no overall electric charge
same
A variety of influences, such as
heat, electrictiy, radiation and chemical interactions can cause an atom to gain or lose elctrons in its outermost (valence) shell
Ion
an atom that has an electric charge because of losing or gaining electrons
If an atom gains electrons, it will have
more electrons than protons and will posses a net negative charge
If an atom loses electrons, it will have
more protons than elctrons and will posses a net positive charge
Anion
Negative ion
Cation
Positive ion
Mass number (theoretical)
Approximate measure of the atom’s mass
Is the total number of protons + neutrons in the nucleus
(usually in superscript)
These numbers are always
whole numbers because they represent numbers of whole particles
The mass of number of typical aluminum atom is 27
Protons: (), Neutrons (), electrons (_)
13,14,13
Explain Protons: (13), Neutrons (14), electrons (13)
Atomic number is the number of protons
Mass number substracted by the number of protons is number of neutron
Number of electrons are equal to the number of protons
Atoms with higher mass number have
more actual mass than atoms with lower mass number
Atomic numbers
Numbers of protons ONLY
Actual weight
(usually in subscript)
Solid sphere model
John Dalton
Drew upon Anicent Greek’s idea of atoms
Stated that atoms are indivisble
Given elements are identical
Compound are combination of different types of atom
Plum pudding model
J.J Thomson
Discovered electrons in 1897 = won Noblel Prize
Model shows atoms as composed of electrons scattered throughout a spherical cloud of positive charges
Nuclear model
Ernest Rutherford
Fired positively charged alpha particels at a thin sheet
Most passed through with little deflection, but some deflected at large angles =
only possible if the positive charges are concentrated at the center (nucleus)
Planetary model
Niels Bohr
Modified Rutherford’s model = electrons moved around the nucleus in orbits fo fixed sizes and enrgy
Electron enrgy quantised
Quantum model
Erwin Schrödinger
State that electrons move in waves = impossible to know the exact location of the electrons
Clouds of probability = where we are more likely to find an electron
Electrons do
NOT absorb or release energy in a smooth flow
Rather, energy is always absorbed or released in a discrete “packet“ called ________
quantum
Energy can
NOT be in between stages, it must be in a specific energy level
Electrons changes shells when they
gain or lose energy
When electrons gain a quantum of energy
it moves farther away from the nucleus
When electrons looses a quantum of energy
it moves closer to the nucleus
Quantum theory by
Max Plank
Uncertaintity principle by
Wrener Heisenberg
Uncertaintity principle
It is impossible to measure both the position and velocity of an electron with certainty
Electron Clouds by
Max born & accredited to Erwin Schrödinger
Electron Cloud model
Electrons do NOT have definte orbits around the nucleus, instead electrons move unpredicatbly inside regions called orbitals
Each orbital can hold up to
two electrons
Each electrons shell is made up of
one or more orbitals
Each orbitals in the elctron cloud model can be visualized as
cloud in which dots indicate the probality of findig an electron, the greater the density of dots, the greater the porbabiltiy of finding an electron
