exam chapter 3 Flashcards
a chemical compound always has the same elements in the same proportions by mass regardless of the source of the compound
law of definite proportions
if two or more different compounds are composed of the same two elements, then the ratio of the masses of the second element combined with a certain mass of the first element is always a ratio of small whole numbers
law of multiple proportions
mass is neither created nor destroyed during ordinary chemical reactions of physicla changes
law of conservation of mass
proposed the atomic theory
dalton
determined that most of the mass of an atom is found in the nucleus
rutherford
concluded that electrons were found in all atoms
thompson
confirmed the negative charge of the electron
millikan
atoms of the same element can differ in
mass number
the number of protons in an element is called its
atomic number
the isotopes of hydrogen
protium- 0 neutron
deuterium- 1 neutron
tritum- 2 neutrons
