Chapter 5 atomic theory/structure Flashcards
All elements have neutrons, except what?
The simplest of hydrogen Dash not an isotope
Isotopes are what?
Isotope means same place.
Atoms of the same element with different numbers of
neutrons (which means a different atomic mass)
They belong in the same place on the periodic table
Summarize the atomic theory by Dalton
Elements are composed of indivisible particles called atoms
Atoms of the same element are chemically alike. Atoms of different elements are chemically different.
Atoms combine in simple WHOLE NUMBER RATIOS to form compounds
Atoms of the same two elements can combine in more than one way to form different compounds
What part of Dalton’s at atomic theory has been discarded based on evidence
We now know:
Adams are composed of subatomic particles
Not all atoms of a specific element have the same mass
Adams under special circumstances can be decomposed
What is the law of definite composition
A compound always contains two or more elements, chemically combined in a definite proportion to mass
What is the law of multiple proportions?
Adams of two or more elements make combine in different ratios to produce more than one compound
Force equals what?
Distance of charges to each other, and the amount of charge
What are charged particles called?
Ions
What did faraday discover ?
1791 through 1867
Some substances can conduct electricity, when dissolved in water, some compounds can decompose into charged particles that then move based on attraction for other charged particles-ions
JJ Thompson discovered the electron using experiments using cathode rays. What else did he discover about electrons?
 He discovered electrons:
travel in straight lines
are negative in charge
deflected by electricity and magnetic fields
Produce sharp shadows
capable of moving small paddle wheel
What are the symbols for subatomic particles?
Proton is a small p with a plus
Neutron is a small and w/ small o
Electron is small e with -
What is the charge for each subatomic particle?
Proton is positive
neutron is neutral
electron is negative
What is Amu stand for?
Atomic mass unit
What is the AMU of each subatomic particle?
Proton is one neutron is one electron is zero
Describe Rutherford’s gold foil experiment observations as he was messaging, the alpha particles straight through the gold foil, discovering the neucleus
Observation: most of the alpha particles went straight through the gold foil. conclusion most of the atom is empty Space.
Observation: very few alpha particles bounced off the gold foil.
Conclusion: the alpha particles hit some thing: small, positive, massive. NUCLEUS
