Atoms
What does the atomic number contribute?
# of protons and # of electrons
What determines the mass number of an atom?
# oft protons + # of neutrons
How many electrons are valid in each level?
1. 2 2. 8 3. 18
The atomic number of Silicon is 14. How many electrons are in each energy level?

The metal thallium occurs naturally as 30 percent thallium - 203 and 70 percent thallium - 205. Calculate the atomic mass of thallium.
204.4 amu
______________ is the average mass of all the isotopes of a certain element.
Atomic mass
Which scientist discovered energy levels for atoms?
Bohr
Explain why evaporating water is a physical and not a chemical change.
Evaporation is a change of state: water to gas. Evaporation does not change the identity of the substance like a chemical change would
Explain how isotopes are similar and how they are different. Make sure to have a detailed answer.
Isotopes are similar because they contain the same number of protons. Isotopes are different because they have a different number of neutrons.
Determine the number of protons, neutrons and electrons in an atom of aluminum - 27. The atomic number for aluminum is 13. Protons __________, neutrons ____________, electrons
Protons 13, Neutrons 14, Electrons 13
What two subatomic particles are found in the nucleus?
Protons and Neutrons
Which scientist discovered protons?
Rutherford
Which scientist used the Gold-foil experiment?
Rutherford
Explain how the atomic theory has changed over time. Include in your answers the new technologies that helped with the discoveries of subatomic particles. Include scientist names and what they are famous for discovering.
The atomic theory has changed over time because of the discovery of the subatomic particle of the atom. Thomson discovered the electron with the Cathode ray tube, then Rutherford discovered the proton with the gold foil experiments. Then Dalton discovered the electrons are in different energy levels. Scientist have now discovered that protons and neutrons are made of quarks.
Explain how a rotating electric fan might be used to model he atom.
The center of a rotating electric fan is like the nucleus of an atom. The fan blades are like the energy levels where electrons are found.
Which of the details in the material we studied in this unit did you see revealed the Lord's design in His creation? Relate one of these ideas to the material you studied: complexity, beauty, simplicity, purpose, order, constants. Higher scoring answers will demonstrate a thoroughly prepared answer which includes the use of precise vocabulary of the subject matter, logical claims, rich connection(s) in the element's use(s) and application(s), and fluidity of written language.
The study of atoms revealed the Lords perfect order in creation. How something so tiny is the building blocks of all matter. That adding one proton changes the identity of an element. That atoms are neutral because of the equal number of electrons and protons. The nucleus needed neutrons to keep the protons from repelling each other.

Thompson
Which scientist used the cathode ray tube?
Thompson
What unit is used for the mass of subatomic particles?

What is the smallest particle into which an element can be divided and still be the same substance?
atom
What does amu stand for?
atomic mas unit
Which determines the identity of an element? (mass number or atomic number)

What determines if two elements are different elements or isotopes of the same element?
