Q

8 Democritus’ model of the atom

A

when: in 400 BCE
who: Greek philosopher
what: he proposed that all matter could be divided until a single particle was reached- he called it the atom
he proposed that: atoms are= all different sizes, always moving, separated by empty spaces

8 john Dalton model of the atom

A

when: 1807
who: English scientist
what: billiard ball m odel
he proposed: all matter is made up of atoms
all atoms in a element are the same
diff element= diff
atoms can be rearranged but never created or destroyed

8 J.J Thompson’s model of the atom

A

when: 1897
who: some guy
what: plum pudding model
he proposed: that small particles could be emitted by hot materials
they attracted to positive side or things
so they would be negative
called electrons
atoms have electrons
rest of atom is positive
evenly distributed

Q

8 Earnest Rutherford

A

when: 1907
who: a new Zealand chemist
what: gold foil experiment- he shot small positively charged particles through a piece of foil expecting them to go through, but instead some deflected, by a central mass
he proposed: the nucleus= has a positive charge
most of the mass, small
surrounded by a cloud of electrons
rest in empty space
also that there is a proton in the nucleus with a neutral particle

Q

8 James Chadwick

A

when: 1932
who: Rutherford’s student
what: found a particle that could disintegrate atoms and have 0 charge
proposed: atom must be empty with a nucleus
nucleus has protons and neutrons
mass of neutron= mass or proton
electrons circle around nucleus
neutral atom has =pro and electrons

Q

8 Neils Bohr

A

when:
who: Danish scientist
what: electron shells
proposed: there are different orbits for electrons
each electron has a definite amount of energy and the farther from the nuc it is the more energy it has
electrons jump from a higher orbit to a lower they release light
each orbit has a max number of electrons they can hold

Q

14 alkali metals

A

what group: 1
example: lithium
description: shiny, silvery, soft, highly reactive,
low density, can float on water
combine easily with other elements and compounds

34
Q

14 alkaline earth metals

A

what group: 2
example:
description: shiny, silvery,
not as soft or reactive as alkali metals
they burn bright and colorful like fireworks

35
Q

14 halogens

A

what group: 17
example: can be a gas (f,CI) can be a liquid (BR) or a solid (I, AT)
description: very reactive, rarely found in elemental form
often compounds

36
Q

14 noble gases

A

what group: 18
example:
description: stable, nonreactive, colorless, odorless, tasteless, glow when a electric current passes through it,
non toxic

37
Q

10 non metals

A

elements usually gas or dull powdery solid
not conductible with heat or electricity
makes up the right corner of the PT

38
Q

10 metals

A

element that is lustrous, malleable, ductile, conducts heat and electricity
it makes up the left and center of the periodic table

39
Q

10 metaloids

A

and element that has properties of a metal and a non metal

found on the bold staircase on the right corner of the PT

40
Q

9 chemical family

A

column of elements
have similar properties on the periodic table
as you go down the column shells are added each family has the same number of valance electrons

41
Q

9 period

A

Row of elements on the PT
show trends of higher or lower reactivity
as you go from left to right one valance electron is added
each row has the same number of shells

42
Q

density

A

density= mass/ volume
means mass per unit of volume
is a physical property
unique for each substance

43
Q

alloy

A

solid solutions of two or more metals
used for many purposes
solder is an example

44
Q

atom

A

the smallest unit of a element

has subatomic particles inside it

45
Q

element symbol

A

abbreviation for the chemical symbol

ex hydrogen= H

46
Q

valance electrons

A

the electrons on the outer shell of the atom
can fill up just like the other shells
but can trade or give away with other elements

47
Q

how atoms combine

A

atoms combine to become more stable, meaning that they have a full outer shell
can loose gain or share electrons to become stable

48
Q

how metals and metals combine

A

when you have two metals you don’t chemically connect them by using electron movement
instead you create an alloy by melting, mixing then solidifying

49
Q

how metals and non metals combine

A

metals loose their valance electrons and shed their outer shell because it is now empty
while the non metal gains the few atoms they need and have a now full outer shell

50
Q

how non metals and non metals combine

A

there elements don’t give away valance electrons to become full
instead they share the necessary electrons by using a convelent bond creating a molocule
ex: H2O is 2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen that are sharing electrons to all become full

51
