Chemistry Flashcards
All matter is made up of atoms
“ Billiard ball model”
Dalton
Atoms consists of a large number of electrons held together by a mass of an equal number of positive and negative charges of electrons.
“ plum pudding/ raisin bun model”
Thomson
Atoms have a small charged nucleus surrounded by largely empty space.
“ Solar System model”
Rutherford
Electrons orbit around the nucleus.
“ — Model of atom”
Bohr
Model of matter used today.
Quantum model of matter
Can be broken down by physical means.
Mixture
Visible substances.
“ mechanical mixture “
Heterogenous
Cannot see different substances.
“ solution “
Homogeneous
Cannot be separated by physically means.
Pure substance
Cannot be broken down
Element
2 or more elements in a specific ratio
Compound
= # of protons in the nucleus
Atomic #
of protons and neutrons in the nucleus
Mass number
Shiny, Malleable, Conductors
Metals
Brittle, Non Conductors
Non Metals
Properties of both metal and non metal
Metalloids
Positive charge
Cations
Negative Charge
Anions
Bond where cations and anions are together
Atomic Bond
Formula of Neutrons
Atomic mass - protons
Formula for mass #
Protons + neutrons
Atoms are neutral, Why?
Protons and electrons cancel each other out
