Nuclear Physics: Atomic Structure 2
Cards in this deck (9)
- 1Structure of the atomNegatively charged electrons orbiting a positively charged nucleus
- 2Rutherfords gold foil experimentThere is a dense positive core at the centre of the atom around which the electrons orbit
- 3Type of radiation used in Rutherford's experimentAlpha radiation
- 4Bohr modelThe nucleus was composed of protons and neutrons packed tightly together; electrons spin around it in fixed orbits
- 5Increase in electron ring radius corresponds with ...Increase in energy level
- 6When atoms gain energyElectrons jump from a lower energy state to the next energy level
- 7When electrons return to their original levelThey emit a photon
- 8Emission line spectraCaused by photon emission
- 9SpectrometerUsed to demonstrate line spectra
Information
- Description
- This flash card deck covers the content and structure of the atom, Rutherford's gold foil experiment and the Bohr model. It should be used in conjunction with the mind map on nuclear physics and the note on atomic structure.
