People Flashcards
Aristotle
Matter is continuous (not made up of anything smaller)
Boyle
Believed in the atomic nature of elements, no proof, 1st scientist w quantitative values for gases
Daltons atomic theory
All matter atoms (no protons, neutrons, e)
All atoms of same element are same weight (no isotopes discovered)
Atoms cannot be divided/created/destroyed
Atoms combine in whole-number ratios to chemical compounds
In chemical rxn, atoms are combined/separated/rearranged
Thomson
ELECTRONS= electron beam in cathode ray tube deflected by electrical/magnetic field, electron CHARGE:MASS ratio
Lavoisier
Conservation of matter/mass
Proust
Law of definite proportions, substance will always have same ratio of elements by mass (H2O is 2g:16g 1g:8g)
Becquerel
Radioactivity
Uranium exposed photographic film
Curies
Radioactivity
Rays produced by Uranium+Radium spontaneously by unstable nuclei
Bohr
Electrons into shells/energy levels
Closer=less energy
2n^2=max # electrons per energy level if n=principal energy level
(n^2=max # orbitals per energy level)
De Broglie
Quantum
Particles have wavelike characteristics (diffraction patterns)
Milikan
Determine ELECTRONS charge and mass 9.11x10^-28 (1/1837th of lightest element H)
Oil drop test
Rutherford
Empty space between nucleus and electrons (SMALL dense POSITIVE NUCLEUS), atomic structure
Gold foil experiment
Some alpha particles deflected through Au
Moseley
Atomic numbers (# protons) via X-rays
Planck
Quantum
Light has particle and wavelike characteristics
Energy not continuous, released in quanta aka photon (emission spectrum releases photon light)
E=hV
Heisenberg and Schrodinger
Uncertainty principle
Impossible to know location AND velocity of subatomic particle at the same time
Wave-mechanical model: 3D e orbital cloud (unlike Bohr) treat e like waves, assign them quantum #s (sublevels, energy levels)
