Atoms, Molecules & Ions Flashcards
Avogardo Theory
Equal volume of different gases under the same conditions contain the same number of particles
Law of multiple Proportions
If two or more elements form a compound then the first & second elements weights will be in a ratio of small whole numbers
Molecualr weight
molar mass of a covalent compound
Electrostatic Forces
Forces that cause repulsion between similarly charged atoms
Atomic Number
Represents the number of protons & electrons per atom (It above the element)
James Chadwick
Found a neutron & that its mass is 1.68E-24
Compounds
Pure substances that can be decomposed into or more different pure substances
Millihan
Oil Drop experiment where it determined the charge on an electron ( 1.60E10 C) ( Also found the mass of an electron 9.11E-28)
Atomic Mass
Measured in atomic mass units (amu) & also equal to the number of protons + neutrons
Molar mass
Mass in grams of one mole of an atom (g/mol)
Formula
Is the shorthanded way of expressing the relative number & types of atoms in a given compound (C12H22O11 there are 12Carbons, 22 Hydrogens, & 11 Oxygens )
Law of definite Proportions
Atoms ratio is fixed so the mass of atom sare constant
Ionic Compounds
Consists of ions ( Cations or Anions) and transfer electrons
J.J Thomson
Invested the cathode ray tube where it proved the existence of the electron ( Also found the charge: Mass ratio of an electron)
Formula weight
Molar mass of a ionic compound
Rutherford
Gold foil experiment where he found the nucleus of a atom (Also found that the majority of an atom is empty space)
What are Daltons 3 modified Postulates
- Elements are made of atoms, and that the atoms of a given element have the same properties
- Atoms of different elements have different properties
- Compounds are formed when two or more elements combined
Structural Formula
Formulas that shows what atoms are bonded to (CH3CH2OH)
Law of conservation of mass
Atoms are neither created nor destroyed
Molecular formula
Gives the compostion of the molecule (May be the same as the empirical formula)
Periodic Law
The properties of elements are a function of their atomic number
Isotopes
Atoms with the same atomic number but different atomic mass
Empirical Formula
Simplest formula when it gives the simplest atom ratio(Mole ratio)
Dmitri Mendelev
Invented the period table where its catorized in groups & periods
Covalent Copounds
Molecules that share electrons
