Chemistry Part 1 : Download a Specification AS and A level combined specification http://filestore.aqa.org.uk/resources/chemistry/specifications/AQA-7404-7405-SP-2015-V1-1.PDF Part 2 : Making Notes 3.1.1.1 Fundamental particles (specification points) Appreciate that knowledge and understanding of atomic structure has evolved over time. Protons, neutrons and electrons: relative charge and relative mass. An atom consists of a nucleus containing protons and neutrons surrounded by electrons. 3.1.1.2 Mass number and isotopes (specification point) The principles of a simple time of flight (TOF) mass spectrometer, limited to ionisation, acceleration to give all ions constant kinetic energy, ion drift, ion detection, data analysis. Using the specification points above write a summary of the key developments in atom structure from the ancient Greeks to the current taught model, including key experiments and diagrams. (not electron arrangement) Explain the principles of a simple time of flight (TOF) mass spectrometer, limited to ionisation, acceleration to give all ions constant kinetic energy, ion drift, ion detection, data analysis.
