Atomic Models
- Describe the structure of an atom in terms of fundamental particles. Describe the proton, electron and neutron in terms of their mass and charge.
- Define the terms atomic mass, atomic number, mass number and isotope. Use and interpret symbols in the form AZX for elements
- Examine the development for ‘Models of the atom’, including Dalton and Thompson. Describe the operation of Rutherford’s “gold foil” experiment. Describe, with a diagram, the main features of the Rutherford model of the atom.
