chemistry Flashcards
Who was the first person to assign chemical symbols to the different atoms?
Dalton.
Define Element
An element is a substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical reactions.
Define Compound
Is a substance made up by chemically combining two or more elements.
It has different properties from its constituent elements.
Who pictured ‘‘PLUM PUDDING’’ model?
J.J.Thomson
the negatively charged electrons scattered in positively charged sponge like substance.
The alpha particles are………………………………….
Helium nuclei,composed of two p and two n with a positive charge.
Conclusion of Rutherford experiment are ?
The large no of deflected particles led to the conclusion that the atom is mainly empty space.
1] Nuclear Radius
2] Atomic Radius
1] 10^-15 m
2] 10^-10 m
Importance of the NEUTRONS.
Neutrons are crucial for the stability of the nuclei.
Because without neutrons protons will repel each other and nucleus would fall apart.
Define Isotopes
Atoms of the same element with the different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes. Because atomic number is same because it has to be the same element .
- same element with different mass number.
Does isotopes has the same chemical properties ?
Yes because different number of neutrons doesn’t make difference how they react so they occupy same place in the periodic table.
Refer pg no 64
Does Isotopes affects physical properties?
Yes difference in mass affects physical proprties such as BP & MP.
ow to separate the isotopes?
Heavier isotopes move slower hence easy to differentiate.
Chlorine isotopes
Cl-35(abundant)
Cl-37
The number of protons and neutrons never change in chemical reactions.
true/false ?
1] then which is responsible for the change in the chemical reactions ?
TRUE
1] Electrons
Define Ions
Atoms can lose or gain electrons to form ions.
