Lect. 1-3 Flashcards
Mixture
Contains particles or units of more than 1 specific atom or molecule i.e. solutions
Democritus
Atoms “atomos”
Antoine Lavoisier
Law of conservation of mass
Joseph Proust
Law of Definite Proportions: i.e. water is always 88.8% oxygen and 11.2% hydrogen
John Dalton
First guy with an atomic theory
Dalton’s 4 postulates:
- Each element is composed of tiny particles called atoms
- All atoms of a given element are identical, and all atoms of different elements are different
- Atoms are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction, they are dissociated, combined, or recombined
- Compounds are formed when atoms of different elements combine with one another. A given compound always contains the same relative numbers and types of atoms
J.J. Thompson
Electrons: stream of particles through electric field
Earnest Rutherford
Nucleus, gold foil experiment
Mass number
Protons+neutrons: upper left hand corner
Atomic number
Number of protons: bottom left hand corner
Isotopes
Same element, but with different number of neutrons
The 2 types of pure samples are…
Elements and compounds
Mass Spectrometry
- used to compare masses of isotopes
- atoms from a pure sample of an element are ionized (electrons stripped) and sent through a magnetic field
- isotopes with smaller masses are deflected more
Average atomic mass
(Mass#%)+(mass#%)+…
Mass %
}[(# of atoms of specific element)(elements atomic mass)]/(formula weight of compound)}*100
Law of Multiple Proportions
2 compounds made of the same 2 elements, the masses of the elements in each compound are small whole number ratios
Mass ratio of elements in a pure sample of a compound (constant composition)
The ratio of isotopes of a certain element in any pure sample of a given compound is constant
Wavelength, frequency, speed of light formula
c=λν
Purple light
High frequency, high energy, small wavelength
Red light
Low frequency, low energy, long wavelength
Max Planck
Quantum theory
Quantum theory
Energy increases and decreases in discreet units: by a full quantum or not at all
Quantum theory/Planks constant Equation
E=hv
E-energy per quantum
H-plancks constant
V-frequency
Photoelectric effect
- high intensity, low frequency light won’t eject electrons no matter what
- when threshold frequency is met, electrons are ejected immediately
- increasing intensity of light will increase ejection rate, but not velocity
- increasing frequency of light increases velocity of electrons
