Q

Whats the difference between random error and systematic error?

A

Random error introduces variability between different measurements of the same thing, while systematic error skews your measurement away from the true value in a specific direction

Q

What is nuclear theory

A
  1. most of the atoms mass and all of its positive charge are contained in nucleus
  2. most of the volume is empty space, throughout that empty space, electrons are dispersed
  3. # of electrons on the outside are equivalent to #p in the nucleus to maintain neutrality of an atom
48
Q

what is atomic theory

A

1) each element is composed of tiny, indestructible particles called atoms

2) all atoms of an element have the same mass and properties that distinguish them from the atoms of other elements

3) atoms combine in simple, whole-number ratios to form compounds

4) atoms cant change into atoms of another element
