CHEMGEN Quiz: Atoms and Atomic Structure
Document Summary
It used to determine the types of isotopes present, the exact masses of these isotopes and the relative amount of each isotope present in an element. The space around the nucleus is divided into shells or main energy levels and subshells or sublevels. Showed that chemical reactions occur when electricity is passed through certain chemical solutions. His findings gave the 1st hint that atom is still contained smaller particels. Showed that if high voltage is passed through the gas discharged tube, cathode rays move from the negative electrode (cathode) to the positive electrode ( anode) Rays were observed traveling in the direction opposite of the cathode rays. Atoms have both negative and positive particles. What is the maximum number of electron can allowed in a single energy level: first level n=1, 3rd level n= 3. The average value for the isotopes of the element. It takes into account the percentage abundance of the isotopes.
