Lecture 3 Flashcards
basic building blocks of matter
atoms
Atomic Theory of Matter:
List 5 key concepts that describe atoms
- all matter is made up of atoms
- all atoms of the same element are similar but they are significantly different from atoms of another element
- the number and arrangements of atoms determines a substance’s identity
- chemical change is rearrangement of atoms to give a new substance
- only whole atoms participate in a chemical change (can’t be broken down)
2 Las that fall under Dalton’s Atomic Theory
Law of Conservation of Matter
Law of Definite Proportions
the elements in a compound are always present in definite proportions
Law of Definite Proportions
matter is neither lost nor gained during a chemical reaction
Law of Conservation of Matter
True/False: the composition of a pure substance is not constant
FALSE! IT IS CONSTANT!
