Review Sheet : Atoms – The Building Blocks of Matter
1. Draw a picture of what the model looks like in each of the following models.
a. Thomson Model:
b. Rutherford Model
c. Bohr Model
d. Quantum Mechanical Model:
2. Highlight the parts of Dalton's atomic theory that were proved to be false in later theories:
 All atoms are made up of tiny indivisible particles called atoms.
 Atoms of the same element are identical. The atoms of one element are different from the atoms of another
element.
 Atoms of different elements chemically combine to form chemical compounds.
 During chemical reactions, atoms are rearranged, separated or combined.
3. How does the existence of isotopes contradict part of Dalton’s theory above? Which part?
4. How did Thomson’s cathode ray tube experiment contradict part of Dalton’s theory above?
5. Explain Rutherford’s experiment in your own words. What did this prove about the atom in 1911?
6. Match the scientists below to their contributions to the atomic theory. You may use one more than once.

electrons orbit the nucleus like planets around the sun
first mental model of the atom; “atomos”
electrons exist in electron cloud where there is a 90% probability of finding the electron
electrons are housed in energy levels filling the lowest energy level first
proved the existence of atoms as small, indivisible particles; atoms combine in ratios
nucleus is a small, dense central part of the atom containing all of the atom’s mass
found that the atom is NOT the smallest particle in the atom, charged particles exist within the atom
7. Complete the following table using notes over parts of an atom.

(not zero) What
is it really?
8. If you had a balance and weighed a proton, how many electrons would you need to equal the mass of one
proton?
9. List at least two ways isotopes of the same element are alike and at least two ways they are different
