Chapter 2 Flashcards
Who came up with the atomic theory and who did he say “taught” him? (maybe made him up to avert blame)
Democritus
Leucippus
What is the law of conservation of mass?
1789
Antoine Lavoisier
before and after are different combination but nothing has changed
mass before = mass after
What is the law of definite composition?
1806
Joseph Proust
the ratio of things (elements) when broken down are always the same
What is the law of multiple proportions?
1808
John Dalton
You can’t have halves or fraction ratios so there is something that cannot be broken down further
What is Dalton’s Atomic Theory?
- All matter consists of atoms: indivisible particles that cannot be created nor destroyed
- Atoms of one element CANNOT be converted into atoms of another
- Atoms of one element are identical in mass and properties that are different from atoms of other elements
- Compounds result from a combination of a specific ratio of atoms from different elements
What were two experiments to try to figure out where static electricity comes from and the relationship between matter and charge?
Cathode Ray Experiment
Gold Foil Experiment
What was the cathode ray experiment?
1897
JJ Thompson
plum pudding model
- sphere with positive charge
- electrons in it
What was the gold foil experiment?
1909
Ernest Rutherford
(Hans Geiger, Ernest Marsden)
believed nucleus was entirely positively charges
What does todays atomic theory say?
Atoms = small and fast (cloud)
electron: e-
protons: p+
neutrons: n0
unit for atomic mass
u = amu = da
symbol for atomic number
Z
symbol for mass number
A
Whats the superscript on the right?
charge
Whats the superscript on the left?
mass number
atomic mass if a group
Whats the subscript on the left?
atomic number
what does no charge mean?
protons = electrons
How do you find the number of neutrons?
mass number - atomic number
A - Z
What is the atomic number?
of protons
What is the mass number?
of protons + # of nuetrons
What are isotopes of an element?
Atoms with the same number of protons but different number of neutrons
Are chemical properties the same in isotopes?
yes, even tho they have different atomic mass
symbol for atomic mass
M
What is atomic mass?
average mass for all isotopes
Finding atomic mass=
M= (mass of isotope #1)(abundance as decimal) + (mass of isotope #2)(abundance as decimal) +…..
1 u =
1.66054x10^-24
(1/12) ^12C
Atomic mass unit
u
Da - dalton, amu
fathers of the periodic table?
Dmitri mendeleev
Julius lothar meyer
Horizontal rows?
periods
Vertical rows?
groups
Name the groups…
G 1
G 2
G 17 (7a)
G 18 (8A)
other groups
Alkali metals
Alkali earth metals
halogens
noble gases
referred to by the name of the first element in the group
What are most of the elements in the periodic table?
metals
