0 1 This question is about atomic structure.
0 1 . 1 In 1897 JJ Thomson discovered the electron. He suggested that atoms were
positively charged spheres with electrons embedded within them.
Figure 1 represents an atom using Thomson’s model.

Justification
0 1 . 3 A sample of tellurium is analysed in a time of flight (TOF) mass spectrometer using
electron impact ionisation.
Give an equation, including state symbols, for this ionisation.

0 1 . 4 In the TOF mass spectrometer an ion of an isotope of tellurium, with mass number y, box
travels along a 1.25 m flight tube with a kinetic energy of 1.88 x 10–12 J
The ion takes 3.00 x 10–7 s to reach the detector.

KE = mv2
2
KE = kinetic energy / J
m = mass / kg
v = speed / m s–1
Calculate the mass, in g, of 1 mole of these tellurium ions.
Use your answer to suggest the mass number y of the tellurium isotope.
The Avogadro constant, L = 6.022 × 1023 mol–1
