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
