Atomic History Scientists

AB
Greek Philosopher who proposed that materials are made of bits ("atomos")Democritus
Redeveloped the idea of indivisible atoms through gas lawsDalton
Discovered radioactivityBequeral
Discovered the electron using cathode rays--developed the plum pudding modelJJ Thomson
Shot alpha particles through gold leaf--discovered the nucleusRutherford
Discovered the charge / mass ratio of the electron--showed that they were particlesMillikan
Demonstrated that light can act like a particle with the photoelectric effectEinstein
Determined that light came in packets of energy (photons): E = hfPlanck
Developed a quantum model for the hydrogen atom--explained the line spectrumsBohr
Developed mathematical model that leads to s, p, d, f quantum model of the atomSchrodinger
Determined that we cannot both know the position and velocity of an electron--need probabilities of finding themHeisenburg
Determined that orbitals in a sublevel must all be half full before doubling up electronsHund
Determined that no two electrons can have exactly the same energyPauli
Determined that mass must move in waves (very, very small ones)deBroglie
The type of radiation that releases 2 protons and 2 neutrons (a Helium nucleus)?Alpha Radiation
term for the spectrum of "all types" of lightelectromagnetic radiation spectrum
What color of visible light has the highest energy?Violet
What is the name for the "packets of energy" that come with all forms of light / EMR?photons
What is the speed of all forms of electromagnetic radiation?3 x 10**8 m/s, 186,000 miles / second
In the Bohr model, what type of EMR is released when electrons fall to level 1?Ultraviolet radiation--large energy difference
In the Bohr model, what type of EMR is released when electrons fall to level 2?Visible Light
In the Bohr model, what type of EMR is released when electrons fall to level 3?Infrared radiation--smaller energy differences
What are the 6 categories of EMR?Radio, Infrared, Visible Light, Ultraviolet, X-rays, Gamma
Developed the Plum Pudding Model of the AtomJJ Thomson
Created the Satellite Model of the Atom even though they knew it had to be wrongRutherford
