Which scientist worked on a cathode ray tube experiment?
JJ Thompson
What is a cathode ray tube?
A glass tube containing two electrodes with a high voltage applied
Describe JJ Thompson’s cathode ray experiment.
A cathode ray was shot between two charged plates (one positive and one negative) toward a fluorescent screen. The angle at which the ray bent was analyzed.
What are cathodes made of?
Metals
What was the purpose of JJ Thompson’s cathode ray experiment?
To learn if the particles emitted had a charge
What happened when Thompson’s cathode ray was turned on?
A particle beam passes through a hole in the anode, hitting a glass wall on the opposite end of the tube.
What happened when charged plates were added to JJ Thompson’s cathode ray experiment?
The ray bent away from the negative plate and toward the positive plate. This showed the ray was negative (composed of electrons). The same thing happened when magnets replaced the plates.
What did Thompson find from his cathode ray experiment?
The mass and charge of the particles in the stream (ray).
Who preformed the gold foil experiment?
Ernest Rutherford
How was the gold foil experiment set up?
Alpha particles were shot at a thin sheet of gold foil surrounded by a detection screen. Most of the particles shot passed directly through the gold foil. Some, however, were deflected (slightly and directly back), showing there was a positive center with mass.
What were the results of the gold foil experiment?
Particles went straight through
Particles were slightly bent
Particles deflected back without passing through the foil
What did Rutherford conclude from his gold foil experiment?
Most of the matter in an atom is grouped in a single location (nucleus) & that the matter in this location is positively charged and that most space inside an atom is empty
What part of John Dalton’s atomic theory was disproved by the cathode ray tube experiment?
The discovery of the electron; atoms were divisible
What conclusion did Rutherford make regarding the atom for each of the 3 main observations?
There is a positively charged center in the atom called a nucleus
Nearly all of the mass in the atom reside in the nucleus
Electrons revolve around the nucleus in circular paths

A student records the volume of a gold nugget to be 6.75 cm3.
What other information would the student need in order to calculate the density of the gold? (*Hint: what is the formula for calculating density?)
Density is equal to mass divided by volume (d=M/V). You would need the mass of the gold nugget as well.

d=m/v →50.0 g/6.75 cm3= 7.41 g/cm3 (3 sig figs)
A student used a calorimeter to compare the heat capacity of copper and water. First, the student found the mass of the copper cylinder and recorded it to be 40.125 g. The mass of the water that was placed in the calorimeter was recorded as 49.081 g. The copper cylinder was then heated to 100.0 °C and placed inside the calorimeter with the water sample at a starting temperature of 23.2 °C. The calorimeter is left until the temperature inside is uniform and stable. The final temperature of the contents in the calorimeter (water and copper sample) is recorded as 28.8 °C.

“The emission spectra lines for atoms of different elements are like fingerprints for humans.” How do the spectral lines shown above support this statement?
Each element has unique spectra lines. An element can be determined by burning it and seeing what spectra lines are emitted. If certain spectra are emitted and others are not, it will only correspond to one specific element. Burn Test
Elements can be identified by their individual spectral lines. Why does each element have its own unique set of emission spectra lines?
Each element has its own unique set of emission spectra lines because each element requires a unique amount of energy to move their electrons up and down an energy shell. Atoms absorb energy when their electrons move up an energy shell and that same energy is released when the electron moves back down. Each color of light has a unique energy level so each atom has unique colors when they release energy.
What is it called when electrons enter an excited state and move up energy levels (n=2 to n=3)?
Absorption

Flame Test
One way in which unique emission spectra can be used to identify elements. An unknown metal is heated by a flame and the color of the flame is observed.
Strontium flame color:
Red magenta
Sodium flame color:
Yellow
Potassium flame color:
Violet
Calcium flame color:
Red orange
Copper flame color:
Green
Identify which metal from the table is being heated in the flame test image above:
a. Sodium b. Calcium c. Copper d. Strontium
EXPLAIN why the metals must be heated before the colored light is emitted.
The electrons in the element must be “excited” first to make them jump up an energy level. Once they are at a higher energy level, the can drop back down to ground state, releasing light.
EXPLAIN why the different elements produce different colors in the flame test.
Different elements require different amounts of energy to excite their electrons. This means that as electrons from different atoms drop back to ground state, different amounts of energy is released, resulting in different colors.

Consider the diagram of sodium chloride above. Describe what is happening in order for the ionic bond to form.
Sodium (metal) is giving its extra electron to chlorine. This gives sodium a full outer octet and it gives chlorine a full outer octet.
Describe how ionic bonds are formed. Make sure to use the key terms: electronegativity and valence electrons in your description.
Ionic bonds form between metals and nonmetals. Nonmetals have higher electromagnetivity than metals, meaning that the nonmetals want an electron more than the metals do. This causes the metal to “lose/give” its electrons to the nonmetal until both are stable (have an octet).
Most atoms achieve stability through gaining or losing electrons so that the valence shell is a full octet (8 electrons). What is the exception to this rule?
a. the d sublevel expands the valence shell to 18 electrons
b. some elements are more stable with 7 electrons than a full octet
c. the first energy level can only fit 2 electrons, making a full valence shell a duet
d. some elements are only stable with 9 electrons
