POINTERS TO REVIEW IN SCIENCE 8 Ernest Rutherford

Quarter 3  proposed nuclear model


 conducted an experiment that aimed a beam of
Atom positively charged particles at a thin sheet of gold
 simplest form of matter foil and referred to as the alpha particle
 the smallest particle of an element that has scattering experiment
all the properties of the element Alpha particle scattering experiment:
volume (observed)
 amount of space occupied by matter • Most alpha particles were undeflected.
mass • Some are deflected at smaller angles.
 measure of the amount of matter the object has • Few alpha particles deflected almost back
The particles of matter towards the source.
 Solid, liquid and gas Niels Bohr
Properties of Solid  proposed that electrons move around the nucleus
• Definite shape in certain paths, or energy levels (just like in the
• Definite volume solar system where planets move around the sun)
• Closely packed together in a fixed position called planetary model
• Vibrate and held together Erwin Schröedinger and Werner Heisenberg
• Difficult to compress  proposed that electrons do not move in definite
Properties of Liquid paths around the nucleus, but are be found in
• No definite shape regions around the nucleus called electron
• Definite volume Isotopes
• Particles are free to move  Atoms having the same number of protons but
• Compress a little bit different number of neutrons
• Lower density and Flow easily
Properties of Gas Subatomic Particles
• No definite shape  Protons - found at the center of the atom
• No definite volume (positively charged)
• Particles are far from each other  Neutrons - found at the center of the atom (no
• High compressibility charge)
• Occupy the entire space available  Electrons - outermost regions of the atom
• Very low density and flow easily (negatively charged)

Changes in States of Matter Atomic number = represents the number of Protons


• Melting – solid to liquid and electrons
• Freezing – liquid to solid Proton and neutron - the sub-atomic parts found in
• Evaporation – liquid to gas the nucleus of an atom
• Condensation – gas to liquid Properties of the three subatomic particles
• Deposition – gas to solid
• Sublimation – solid to gas

Atomic History
John Dalton - Dalton's theory
J. J. Thomson
 plum-pudding (or raisin bread) atomic model
Electron is the lightest subatomic particle
 discovered that atoms have negatively-charged
Neutrons is the heaviest subatomic particle
particles, which he called electrons
Protons and Neutrons makes up most of the mass of
 he used the negative pole of a magnet - the
the atom
cathode rays repelled away from the magnet
 lanthanides and actinides series or special series
of elements
Three major groups of elements in a periodic table
 metals, nonmetals, metalloids

Metalloids (Semimetals, Semiconductors)


Base = element’s symbol.  B, Si, Ge, As, Sb, Te
Left subscript = atomic number = number of protons.  (properties of both metals & nonmetals)
Right superscript = mass number wherein the number
of neutrons may be derived. Physical properties of metals

Lothar Meyer and Dmitri Mendeleev electron
 In 1869, both came up with periodic tables that Metals tend to lose electrons while nonmetals tend

The Periodic Table Group Trend

 The horizontal rows of the periodic table is called farther away from the nucleus (attraction not as

 The vertical columns are called families (or Periodic Trend –
groups)  As you go across a period (L to R), atomic radius

Representative elements or main groups but more p+ and e- total (more attraction = smaller

Groups 1, 2, and 13 through 18 are called of the
periodic table.
