Atomic Structure Notes
Thomson Model The “pudding” had a positive charge and the “plums” had a negative charge.
Rutherford Model – Gold Foil Experiment Discovered a Nucleus and that the electrons were away from the nucleus.
Bohr Model Bohr included only protons and electrons in his original model. Chadwick – Bohr’s student discovered neutrons.
Wave Model
Subatomic Particles Location Proton (p + ) – Positive Charge – Nucleus Neutron (n°) – Neutral Charge - Nucleus Electron (e - ) – Negative Charge – Energy Levels Electron Cloud
Atomic Structure
Atomic Number = #p + and #e - Atomic Mass = #p + +#n° Protons and neutrons make up the mass of the atom #n° = atomic mass – atomic number
Valence Electrons Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost energy level.
