Chapter 2 Flashcards
Who created the Atomic Theory of Matter
John Dalton
What does the Atomic Theory of Matter state?
Elements are composed of extremely small particles called atoms
are atoms created/destroyed in a chemical reaction?
No atoms are created or destroyed or broken apart, but are rearranged to produce new compounds
true or false, atoms of one element are the same as atoms from another element
false
true or false, all atoms of a given element are identical, having the same size, mass, and chemical properties
true
atoms contain… and are…
atoms contain negatively charged electrons and are neutral
Alpha rays
positively charged, heavy
Beta rays
negatively charged, light
Gamma rays
no charge, very high energy waves
Who created the planetary model?
Ernest Rutherford
The Planetary Model highlights…
- positive charge is concentrated in the nucleus
- nucleus accounts for most of an atoms mass
- typical nucleus has a radius of about 5x10^-3 pm
mass number (top)
of protons + neutrons
atomic number (bottom)
of protons
1 amu =
1/12 the mass of a carbon-12 atom

groups/families
molecule
a combination of at least 2 atoms held together by chemical bonds
diatomic molecules
contain two atoms and may either be hereronuclear or homonuclear
polyatomic molecules
contain more than two atoms
