Chapters 1 and 2 Flashcards
Scientific Method
collect data
suggest explanation
conduct experiments
Law of Conservation of Mass
mass of reactants is the same as the products in other words the mass of the elements before reaction is the same as after
Daltons Atomic Theory
- elements are made up of tiny particles called atoms (O)
- atoms of a given element are not all identical
- given compound always has the same relative numbers and types of atoms (O)
- atoms are not indestructible
protons
- positive charge
- part of atomic mass
- equal to an elements atomic number
Neutron
- no charge
- has mass similar to proton
electrons
- very little mass
- negative charge
what did we learn from the rutherford experiment
atoms have protons and neutrons
electromagnetic radiation
waves of the electromagnetic field
formula for wavelength (normal)
lambda = velocity/frequency
formula for wavelength (light)
lamda=c(speed of light)/frequency
formula for energy of a photon
hv or hc/lamda
photoelectric effect
when light strikes a metal electrons are bounced off of it
-they only increase in energy not the number of electrons
formula for kinetic energy in photoelectric effect
KE=h(v-v0)
dual nature of light
both in waves and particulates (photons)
de brogiles equation
used for finding wavelength of solid objects like a baseball
- lambda=h/mv (velocity)
