Chemistry (final) Flashcards
What are historical examples of how humans worked with chemicals?
- Food Preservation
- Medicine
- Metallurgy
Atoms…
- Are the smallest fundamental particle of matter
- Have mass and take up space
Aristotle
4 elements
Jon Dalton (model)
Billiard ball
John Dalton (theory)
Atoms are solid indestructible spheres (like billiard balls)
Atoms of an element have similar properties
John Dalton (year)
1803
JJ Thompson (model)
Plum pudding model
JJ Thompson (Theory)
Proposed that all atoms are made of a positively charged sphere with negative particles embedded in it
JJ Thompson (year)
1904
JJ Thompson (technology)
Cathode Ray Tube
Ernest Rutherford (model)
Beehive/nuclear model
Ernest Rutherford (theory)
Nucleus (positive) with electrons (negative) that move around the nucleus
Atoms are mostly empty space
Ernest Rutherford (year)
1911
Ernest Rutherford (technology)
Particle emmiter - Gold foil experiment - 1 in 1000 particles were deflected
Niels Bohr (model)
Energy levels/ planetary model
Niels Bohr (theory)
Electrons surround the nucleus of an atom in specific orbits that have specific energy levels
When electrons fall they release energy
Niels Bohr (year)
1913
Niels Bohr (technology)
Emission Spectrum
Erwin Schrödinger (model)
Electron clouds/quantum mode
Erwin Schrödinger (theory)
develops a mathematical equation to describe the motion of electrons in atoms
Erwin Schrödinger (year)
1926
James Chadwick (year)
1932
James Chadwick (theory)
Confirms existence of neutron (have no charge)
Atomic nuclei contain neutrons and positively charged protons
Modern day Quantum theory
Analogy of a beehive where bees are electrons move around the nucleus in a “cloud” of energy levels
