Discovered radioactivity
Types of Chemical o Spontaneous emission of
Reactions (notebook) radiation from nucleus
o Three types:
Combination ▪ Alpha - positive
• A + B → AB ▪ Beta - negative
▪ Gamma – neutral
Decomposition
J.J. Thompson (1903)
• AB → A + B
• Cathode Ray Tube experiments
Single Replacement
o Beam of negative particles
• A + BC → AB + C • Discovered Electrons
o Negative particles within atom
Double Replacement
• Discovered Plum-Pudding Model
• AB + CD → AC + BD o Positive sphere (pudding) with
negative electrons (plums)
dispersed throughout
• Quantum mechanics
o Electrons can only exist in
specified energy states
• Electron Cloud Model
o Orbital: region around the
nucleus where e- are likely to be
found
o Dots represent probability of
finding an e- not actual eletrons
• Discovered neutrons
o Neutron particles in the nucle1us
of an atom
• Joliot curie experiment
o Based his theory on their
experimental evidence
• Neutron Model
o Revision of Rutherford’s Nuclear
Model
