General Inorganic Chemistry (Done) Flashcards
Dalton’s Atomic theory states that? (5)
- Elements are composed of tiny indivisible particles called atoms.
- Atoms of a given element are identical in size, mass, and other properties. Atoms of different elements differ in size, mass, and other properties.
- Atoms cannot be subdivided, created, or destroyed.
- Atoms of different elements can combine in simple whole number ratios to form chemical compounds.
- In chemical reactions, atoms are combined, separated, or rearranged.
This law states that if 2 elements combine to form one compound, the ratio of the mass of an element to a fixed mass of the other element is a whole number or a simple fraction.
Law of Multiple Proportions
This law states that a chemical reaction only involves separation, combination or rearrangement of atoms.
Law of Conservation of Mass
This person pioneered the atomic theory.
John Dalton
Father of Chemistry; discovered the law of conservation of mass
Antoine Lavoisier
This law states that a pure compound is made up of elements in the same proportion by mass, regardless of its quantity or source.
Law of definite proportions
Discovered the law of definite proportions
Joseph Louis Proust
Invented the cathode ray tube
Sir William Crookes
The cathode ray tube was derived from _ by _.
Geissler Tube, Heinrich Geissler
Discovered the electron through the cathode ray tube experiment
Joseph John (JJ) Thomson
Ratio of electric charge to mass of electron
-1.76 x 10 ^ 8 C/g
_ discovered the definite charge of electron (and proton) through the _ (experiment)
Robert Andrews Millikan, Oil Drop Experiment
Definite charge of proton and electron
+- 1.6 x 10 ^ -19
Discovered x-rays
Wilhelm Konrad Roentgen
First to discovered evidence of radioactivity
Antoine Henri Becquerel
Discovered radioactivity in Uranium and Polonium and coined the term radioactivity
Maria Skolowdowska (Marie) Curie
_ discovered proton through _
Ernest Rutherford, gold foil experiment
Discoveries of Ernest Rutherford in the Gold Foil Experiment (2)
- Most of the atom is empty space.
- Positive charge of an atom is concentrated at the nucleus.
Mass of proton is _ and it is _ x mass of electron
1.6726 x 10 ^ 24 g
Discovered neutron and its mass
James Chadwick
Refers to the # of protons in the nucleus
Atomic number (Z)
Atom is _ when # of protons = # of electrons
Electrically neutral
This refers to the sum of the number of protons and neutrons
Mass number (A)
Elements of the same atomic number but different mass numbers; same number of protons but different number of neutrons
Isotopes
