According to J. Dalton: "All atoms of a given element are identical in ____ and ____."
mass, properties
In the magnetic field, the higher the mass, the ____ the deflection
lower / smaller
Complete the statement from J. Dalton's theory: "All matter is made of atoms. Atoms are ____ and ____."
indivisible, indestructible
Complete the statement: "The size of the ____ is very small as compared to the size of the atom."

As the vaporized sample enters the mass spectrometer, what is the first stage that they will go through?
ionization
In their experiment, what did Rutherford's team use to fire through the gold foil?
alpha particles
Give two working principles of a mass spectrometer
(any two) separate the individual isotopes of given element, determine the mass of each isotope, calculate the relative abundance of each isotope
What happens in the ionization stage of mass spectrometry?
an electron is removed from the atom, resulting to a positive ion
Why do the atoms need to be vaporized when being analyzed in the mass spectrometer?
to isolate the particles; for each to be free from attraction/repulsion with another atom
What does the octet rule state?
The octet rule says that atoms are very stable when they have 8 electrons in their outer shell.
Energy is ____ when an electron moves from lower to higher energy level.
absorbed
