Atomic and Quantum Physics

De Broglie equation

• relates the momentum of a mass to its wavelength

• relates the energy of a mass to its wavelength

• relates the frequency of a mass to its wavelength

• relates the work function of a mass to its wavelength

The de-Broglie wavelength of an electron is 5 x 10^-10 m. Then its momentum is

In order for an atom to be neutral what has to be true?

• The atom has more protons than neutrons
• The atom has more neutrons than protons
• The atom has the same number of protons and neutrons
• The atom has the same number of protons and electrons

This model this model was the first to show a nucleus, consisting of protons and neutron.  Electrons surround the nucleus but are not shown in distinct energy levels. 

• The "Rutherford Model" of the atom
• The "Plum Pudding Model" of the atom
• The "Quantum Mechanical Modell" of the atom
• Democritus's model of the atom

This model added on to previous models by showing electrons existed at certain "energy levels". However it does not accurately show what those levels look like.

• The "Bohr Model" of the atom
• The "Rutherford Model" of the atom
• The "Plumb Pudding Model" of the atom
• The "Quantum Mechanical Model" of the atom

This model was developed after J.J. Thompson discovered electrons, a particle smaller than an atom. Is shows electrons floating freely in a positive space.

• The "Rutherford Model" of the atom
• Democritus's model of the atom
• The "Quantum Mechanical Model" of the atom

Ernest Rutherford discovered that atoms were mostly _________________. 

• negatively charged
• positively charged
• electrons
• empty space. 

In the gold foil experiment, most of the positively charged alpha particles passed through the gold foil, but some were deflected or bounced back.  What did we conclude because of this?  

• Atoms are small indivisible spheres
• Atoms are mostly empty space with a small, dense, positive center
• Atoms have negatively charged particles which orbit the nucleus
• Light is a wave, not a particle
