lecture 1 Flashcards
mixture
contains particles of more than one specific atom or molecule-solutions
types of mixtures
homogeneous and heterogeneous
democritus
first to think of an atom
antoine lavoisier
discovered law of conservation of mass
joseph proust
law of definite proportions (in H2O, water is always 88.8% oxygen and 11.2% hydrogen by mass)
john dalton
4 postulates
4 postulates
1) each element is composed of tiny particles called atoms.
2) all atoms of a given element are identical, and all atoms of different elements are different.
3) atoms are not created or destroyed in chemical reactions.
4) compounds are formed when atoms of different elements combine with one another.
J. J. Thompson
electrons, charged particles in ray tube w electric field and found they would go towards the positive field
earnest rutherford
nucleus, gold foil experimemt
rutherfords model
1) nucleus is a very small positively charged core containing protons and neutrons.
2) negativity charged electrons are extremely small and occupy the vast majority of the atom’s volume
mass number
top number. M = p + n
atomic number
A = # of p & e
isotope
same element, but different number of neutrons-doesnt change chemical behavior, just changes mass
average atomic weight equation
(mass # X % abundance) + (mass # X % abundance)…= average mass
mass % equation
mass % element = (# of atoms of element) X (element’s atomic mass)
