Matter,atom and Periodic table Flashcards
What is matter
Matter is any substance that has mass and takes up space by having volume
What are 3 physical states of matter
Solid-rigid form of matter;definite shape and occupies fixed volume(at a particular T and p)
Liquid-fluid form of matter;occupies fixed volume(at part.T and p) but doesnt have fixed shape. It has well defined horizontal surface and takes shape of the container
Gas-fluid form of matter. It spreads out to fill the space containing it and takes up the shape of the container
What are condensed forms of matter
Liquids and solids
What are fluids
They have enough energy to overcome the forces between molecules and move past one another so that the substance flows.
What is vapour
It is often used for the gaseous state of a substance that is normally a solid or a liquid at room temperature
Types of transformation of matter
Physical transformation-no variation in chemical composition
Chemical transformation-variation of chemical composition
What is energy
Capacity to do work. Work is done when motion occurs against force
What is Dalton’s theory
- All matter has discontinuous nature and is composed of atoms
- In a specific elements all atoms are identical( mass dimension properties)
- Compound consists of 2/more atoms of diff elements and the atoms are alwqys present in the same ratio
- Overall mass of products must be equal to the one of the reactants
What is Thomson’s model
Atom is a sphere of + charge with electrons present inside the sphere. += - charge=>neutral
Rutherford’s model of an atom
Planetary model, he majority of mass is in nucleus(p+ and n0). Electrons revolve around nucleus in a fixed path(orbits). A volume occupied by the nucleus is very small compared to the volume occupied by the atom
Atomic number
Number of protons(Z)-subscript on the left side
Atomic mass number
A= Z+N(number of neutrons)-superscript on the left
What are isotopes
Atoms of the same element that have different number of neutrons in their nuclei
What are hydrogen isotopes
Protium(H1-no neutrons), Deuterium(H2-1n⁰) Tritium(H3-2n⁰)
What is stable isotope
When it’s not radio active
Radioisotopes
Unstable form of the element that emit radiation to transform into a more stable form
What are alpha and beta particles and gamma rays
•Alpha particles- 2p+ and 2n⁰->heaviest type of radiation particle. Very low penetration
•Beta particles-e- that are not attached to an atom. Small mass and a negative charge. Low penetration
•Gamma rays-electromagnetic radiation. No mass or charge. High penetration
What are drawbacks of Rutherford’s model
It failed to explain the stability of atom. It didnt follow laws of classical physics
Are atoms stable
Yes and they emit only definite wavelengths
What is electromagnetic radiation
It is a form of energy consisting of oscillating electric and magnetic fields. Those oscillation travel through space at a speed of light. These types of EM radiation each have a characteristic wavelength
c=y(naopacke)v(frequency)
What is spectroscopy
Atoms can absorb or emmit EM radiotation and the spectroscopy studies this absorptions or emmisions
