Chapter 2: Structure of the Atom

The electron binding energy does NOT depend on

Except for the K shell, the maximum number of electrons that can be in the outermost shell of an atom is

The number of protons and neutrons in the atom’s nucleus is the

The electron binding energy is stronger when

Discovery of the electron is attributed to

Atoms with the same number of protons but different number of neutrons are

The three fundamental particles of the atom are the

If an atom has more electrons than protons, it will

Atoms with the same atomic number but different atomic mass numbers are

Atoms with the same atomic number and atomic mass number but have different energy within their nuclei are

A negative ion is

If an atom has 15 electrons, which will be the outermost shell?

The force that holds the protons and neutrons together in the nucleus is the

In the early 1800s English chemist John Dalton theorized that

The periodic table of elements classifies by period and group. The group is the

The N shell can hold _______ electrons

The component of the nucleus that has a positive charge and mass is the

If a particle strikes a nucleus with the same amount of energy as the atom’s nuclear binding energy

If an atom has more protons than electrons, it will

Atoms with different atomic numbers but the same atomic mass numbers are

Atoms with different number of protons but the same combined number of protons and neutrons are

The electrons stay in orbit around the nucleus because of

The earliest atomic theory is generally associated with

The fundamental component of the atom that has the smallest mass is the

The “plum pudding model” is associated with
