HON CHEMISTRY – Hey guys, here’s the lecture from Tuesday on how scientists discovered protons and neutrons. You know, in class yesterday and today I just gave you mostly one name to go with each, but don’t forget they work with other scientists to get the job done!!
Make sure you know the name of the scientists, the name of their experiments, be able to draw a diagram of their experiment, and describe how they interpreted the experimental results that led to their discoveries.
Don’t forget about the video clips we watched in class, they’ll help you review the different experiment that the guys like Thompson and Rutherford did. Here’s another one on The Discovery of the Nucleus. And again – do you think there could be anything smaller than protons, neutrons, and electrons? Hmmmmm……
By the way – how do you feel about playing scientist tomorrow? How is what you’re going to do similar to the work of early scientists in discovering the structure of the atom? Don’t forget to bring your sock/can atoms with the surprise items inside! Don’t forget that you DO NOT have to cut your sock. Just get a sock that’s really long, and stick a clean, empty can inside it. Well, make sure you put your mystery items (three or more) inside the can first!

Was the Atomic Mass Simulation due tonight or next Wednesday? There’s not a space for it on turnitin.
E – I fixed it! Thanks for letting me know!! 🙂
I would rate myself a 4 on the Model of the Atom Activity we did in class today. I wasn’t able to guess any of the items correctly, but I got close. Coming up with enough observations for each section was pretty tough, but it helped me to understand just how hard it was for the early scientists to describe an atom since they couldn’t see their object either!
I would rate myself at a 4 for today’s lesson. I feel like I was able to comprehend and apply what I knew into naming and symbolizing isotopes. I also feel I was able to use that knowledge successfully on tonight’s homework.
