Chemistry Flashcards
Atomic Models in Chronological Order
- John Dalton
- J.J. Thompson
- Ernest Rutherford
- Niels Bohr
What Expirenment Did J.J. Thompson Perform To Create His Model
Cathode Ray Tube Experiment
- Glass Tube (vacuum inside) containing negatively-charged electrode (cathode) and a positively-charged electrode (anode)
- Two oppositely-charged plates and magnets were placed around the cathode ray
- Cathode rays were attracted to the positively-charged plate, indicating that the cathode rays were negatively-charged
Difference Between John Dalton’s and J.J. Thompson’s Atomic Model
J.J. Thompson’s atomic model had electrons
What Expirenment Did Ernest Rutherford Perform To Create His Model
Gold Foil Experiment
- Alpha particles were shot at gold foil
- Most went straight through – Indicating the atom was mostly empty space
- Some were deflected – Indicating that there was a small, dense, positively-charged nucleus at the center of the atom
Difference Between J.J. Thompson’s and Ernest Rutherford’s Atomic Model
Ernest Rutherford’s atomic model had an electron orbit, most the atom was empty space, and a nucleus
What Expirenment Did Niels Bohr Perform To Create His Model
Atomic Line Spectra Experiment
- A diffraction grating can be used to separate light into its component wavelengths
- When a hot gas was used with a diffraction grating, it emitted particular lines of light (emission spectrum). When the same gas was cooled, it absorbed the same lines of light (absorption spectrum)
- Shows the electron structure of an atom is quantized and electrons can emit or absorb energy in the form of photons to move between energy levels
Difference Between Ernest Rutherford’s and Niels Bohr’s Atomic Model
Electrons orbit the nucleus in energy levels, electrons can jump between energy levels
Alkali Metals Properties
- Most reactive metals
- Not found freely in nature
- React with air and moisture
Alkaline-Earth Metals Properties
- 2 valence electrons
- Highly reactive
- Low electronegativity
Transition Metals Properties
- Good conductors of heat and electricity
- High melting points
- Unreactive
Halogens Properties
- High electronegativity
- Most reactive non-metals
- All form acids when combined with hydrogen
- Have 7 valence electrons
Noble Gases Properties
- Almost non-reactive (stable octet)
- Very low electronegativities
- Low boiling points
Subatomic Particles
Electron:
- 1- charge, no mass (0 amu)
- Found outside the nucleus
Proton:
- 1+ charge, 1amu
- Found inside the nucleus
Neutron:
- No charge, 1amu
- Found inside the nucleus
What charge does an ATOM have
An atom is electrically neutral, the number of protons and electrons are the same
How to find the number of protons in an atom
Atomic number = number of protons
How to find the number of neutrons in an atom
Mass number - number of protons (atomic number)
How to find mass number
Number of protons + number of neutrons
Isotopes
Different number of neutrons
Atomic Mass
Average mass of all isotopes
Bohr Model Diagrams
- 1’st energy level can have 2 electrons
- 2’nd and 3’rd energy can have 8 electrons
- 4’th energy level can have 18
- For the first energy level, place 2 electrons in the North position
- 2’nd to 4’th energy level, place single electrons North to West, then pair up electrons going North to West
- Bohr Model Diagrams are only used for the first 20 elements
Groups and Periods
Groups are horizontal, Periods are vertical
Stable Octet
Full valence energy level
Valence Electrons
Electrons found in the outermost occupied energy level
Cation
- Lost electrons
- More protons than electrons
- Positively charged
- Can only be formed by metals
Anion
- Gained electrons
- More electrons than protons
- Negatively charged
- Can only be formed by non-metals
Ionic Compounds
Form when an electron or electrons are transferred from a metal to a non-metal
- Electrically neutral because the ions always occur in such a ratio
Ionic Bond
The electrostatic attraction between the cations and anions in an ionic compound
