neutron
electron
Moves around the nucleus; has a negative charge and mass of 1/2000 amu.
neutron
electron
proton
isotope
Is made up of a single type of atom. It is identified by the number of protons in the nucleus. A pure substance that cannot be broken down into other substances.
molecule
isotope
atom
element
A group of two or more atoms held together by chemical bonds.
mixture
compound

element
A substance made of two or more elements chemically combined in a set ratio. Example: H2O, CH4
compound
mixture
molecule
isotope
Two or more substances that are together, but NOT chemically combined.
element

heterogeneous mixture
A mixture that you can see the different parts of.
homogeneous mixture
compound

The unit used to measure the mass of particles in the atom.
Atomic Mass Unit (amu)
Atomic Number
Atomic Charge

The Atomic Number is the number of which particles in the atom?
protons
protons and neutrons
isotopes
neutrons
The combination of charged particles in the atom makes up the _______.
Atomic Number
Isotope
Atomic Charge
Atomic Mass
When different atoms have the same number of protons but different number of neutrons, they are called ________.
Molecules
Isotopes
Mixtures
Elements
He was an ancient Greek philosopher who believed the atom was a solid thing that could not be divided.
John Dalton
JJ Thomson
Democritus
Niels Bohr
He was an English chemist who proposed that elements are made of atoms of a single type and can be combined to form more complex structures.
John Dalton
JJ Thomson
Ernest Rutherford
Niels Bohr
He was an English physicist who discovered the electron using a cathode ray tube. His model of the atom proposed a positively charged atom that was peppered with negatively charged atoms, also called the "Plum Pudding Model".
Democritus
John Dalton
JJ Thomson
Niels Bohr
He was the "father of nuclear physics". He discovered the nucleus of the atom with his famous gold foil experiment. His model is called the planetary model. A positively charged nucleus, which contains most of the atom's mass, is at the center and negatively charged electrons orbit around like planets.
Niels Bohr
Ernest Rutherford
Albert Einstein
JJ Thomson
A Danish physicist, his model proposed that electrons orbited the nucleus at specific distances based on their energy.
Albert Einstein
Niels Bohr
John Dalton
Ernest Rutherford
A model of the atom where electrons exist in clouds of probability around the nucleus
Plum Pudding Model
Quantum Theory
Planetary Model
Wave Model
