Histroy Of Chem Flashcards
Robert Boyle
boyles law
boyles law
the pressure and volume of a gass have an inverse relationship when temp. is held constant
Joseph Priestley
▪ turned mercury oxide (HgO) into oxygen and another product
▪discovered oxygen and carbon monoxide
Antoine Lavoisier
▪combustion reaction
▪law of mass conservation
law of mass conservation
mass is neither created nor destroyed in chemical reactions
joseph proust
▪lae of definite proportions
law of definite proportions
different samole of pure chemical conpounds always contain the samd proportion of elements by mass
John Dalton
▪law of multiple proportions
▪daltons atomic theory
law of multiple proportions
▪elements can comvine in different proportions
▪ex: NO NO2
daltons atomic theory
- elememts are made if atoms
- each element is characterized by the mass if its atoms
- chemical combination of elements to make conpunds occurs when stoms bond together
- chemical reactions only rearrange how atoms are combined
thomas young
▪double slit expirement
▪electons behave as both a particle and a wave
J. J. Thomson
▪cathode ray experiment
▪proved electrons were negitively charged
▪charge to mass ratio
Robert A. Millikan
▪oil drop experiment
▪determined charge of a single electron
▪threw out data
Ernest Rutherford
▪gold foil experiment
▪nucleus is composed of protons
▪nucleus is very small compared to atom
▪atoms mostly empty space
James Chadwick
