34. Describe one similarity and one difference between the two atoms you drew above. Include why each difference and similarity is expected, based on each element’s location on the periodic table. (4 pts)

Both atoms are in the same group; one atom is in a different period.

Both atoms have the same number of protons; one atom has more neutrons.

Both atoms have the same number of electrons; one atom has a different atomic mass.

Both atoms have similar chemical properties; one atom has a different number of valence electrons.

Match the following scientists with their appropriate accomplishments.

Arranged the elements on the periodic table based on atomic number

Solid Sphere Model; elements are atoms with different masses

Electron Cloud Model; surrounding the nucleus is an electron cloud made of shells – electrons do not, however, travel in a fixed orbit.

Nuclear Model; Gold Foil experiment allowed him to discover that the nucleus was the positively charged center of the atom surround by negatively charged electrons

Arranged the elements on the periodic table based on atomic mass
