Atoms+Test+Study+Guide


 * 1) What does the word atom mean? How does it translate literally?
 * 2) How would you describe the nucleus of an atom (particles, mass, size)?
 * 3) Describe each of the particles found in an atom. Include their charge, mass and location.
 * 4) How big are atoms? Give an example.
 * 5) What is an isotope? What is a radioactive isotope?
 * 6) What particle determines the identity of an element?
 * 7) Describe the different forces found in an atom and how the determine the structure of an atom.
 * 8) Match each of the scientists with the statement or time period associated with their contribution to the development of the atomic theory.
 * 9) What is the current model of the atom called?
 * 10) What happens if the number of electrons and protons are not equal?
 * 11) Put the following atomic models in the proper sequence: Rutherford’s model, electron-cloud model, “plum-pudding” model, Bohr’s model.
 * 12) Use your knowledge of atomic number and mass number to determine the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in an atom/element.
 * 13) Be able to calculate the atomic mass of an element.
 * 14) How does the current model of the atom differ from Bohr’s model?
