Atomic structure 10-23-15 Flashcards
ATomic number
This tells you how many protons
Atomic mass
The mass of the Adam
Mass number
The number of protons and neutrons
Isotope
Two or more forms of the same element that contain different numbers of neutrons and protons
Postulates of Dalton’s atomic theory
- Each element is composed of extremely small particles called Adams
- The Adams of a given element are identical the Adams of different elements are different and have different properties
- Adams are neither created nor destroyed in chemical reactions
- A Compound always has the same relative number and kind of Adam
Postulate to
The Adams of a given element are identical the Adams of different elements are different and have different properties
Postulate three
Adams of and Elliman are not change into different types of Adams by chemical reactions Adams are neither created nor destroyed in chemical reactions
Postulate for
Compounds are formed when Adams of more than one element combined a given compound always has the same relative number and kind of Adam
The development of the atomic model
Electrons are arranged in circular motion around the nucleus
Angstrom
1×10 to the -10
The three subatomic particles in a atom
Electron proton neutron
Atom
Smallest particles that retain their identity
