Rutherford’s Model 19111911 Positive-charged particles in the nucleusPositive-charged particles in the nucleus Negative scattered around edgesNegative scattered around edges Gold foil experimentGold foil experiment
7
Rutherford’s Experiment
8
Bohr’s Model 19131913 Electrons move in definite orbits around the nucleus (like the planets move around the sun)Electrons move in definite orbits around the nucleus (like the planets move around the sun) Energy levels located a certain distance from the nucleusEnergy levels located a certain distance from the nucleus

Lithium Atom How many protons?How many protons? How many electrons?How many electrons? How many neutrons?How many neutrons?
15
Atomic Number identifies the element on the periodic tableidentifies the element on the periodic table equals the # of protons in the nucleusequals the # of protons in the nucleus
16
Atomic Mass sum of the # of protons + # of neutrons in the nucleussum of the # of protons + # of neutrons in the nucleus changes with isotopeschanges with isotopes
17
Isotopes atoms of the same elementatoms of the same element same # of protonssame # of protons different # of neutronsdifferent # of neutrons different atomic massdifferent atomic mass examples = hydrogen, carbon, uraniumexamples = hydrogen, carbon, uranium
18
Isotopes
