macro vs micro
big vs small
empirical knowledge
observation
theoretical knowledge
ideas to explain empirical knowledge
atomic theory: greeks
matter can be divided into indivisible atoms
atomic theory: democritus
atoms vary in size, constant motion, empty space around them
atomic theory: aristotle
matter made of earth, air, wind, fire
daltons atomic theory
- matter: indivisible atoms
- element atoms are identical
- law of constant proportion
- law of conservation of mass
atomic theory: jj thompson
plum pudding model of electrons
atomic theory: rutherford
alpha particles, nucleus, protons
atomic theory: chadwick
confirmed neutrons
atomic theory: bohr
electrons release light + orbit nucleus, planetary model
radioisotopes: alpha
blocked by paper, 2+
radioisotopes decay to emit
nuclear radiation + break apart easily
radioisotopes: beta
blocked by aluminum, negative charge
radioisotopes: gamma
penetrates most, no mass, speed of light
nuclear reaction =
change in nucleus (presence of radioisotopes)
metals: majority of
known elements
non metals are
non conductors, brittle solids (or gases)
metalloids are along the
staircase line, properties of metals and non metals
group 1
alkali metals
group 2
alkaline earth metals
group 17
halogens
group 18
noble gases
groups 3-13
transition metals
who published the first periodic law
mendeleev (properties = functions of atomic mass)
atomic radius is the only trend to
decrease across a period and increase down a group (other than metallic properties)
