Periodicity and Atomic Theory Flashcards
- What did the early Greeks and Alchemists believe? (5th century BC)
-Substances are different because of size and shape
-Periodic table elements: Air, Water, Earth, Fire
-Combining moist, dry, heat and cold in diff ways you get all substances
-Came up with “atomos” (indivisible)
-In middle ages Arab & European alchemists separated metals and ores & conducted diff experiments
-Very much philosophical not experimental
- What was John Dalton’s Atomic Theory? (1808)
- Elements composed of tiny particles named atoms
- Elements made of atoms that are same but all made up of specific sequence of diff atoms put together in unique way
- No 2 chemical compounds are same but all made up of specific sequence of different atoms put together in unique way
- When chemical reaction happens, atoms moved around to create new compounds. New compounds created by same atoms from compound before reaction.
-These laws agreed with preexisting laws: Law of definite Proportions, law of multiple proportions, Law of conservation of mass
- What was JJ. Thomson’s Model of the Atom? (late 1800’s early 1900s)
-atoms contain negative particles that have a mass
-atom is positively charged sphere with negative charges inside at random
-Plum Pudding Model
- What was Rutherford’s Model of the Atom? (1908)
-there are both positive and negative charged particles
-predicted neutrons
-gold-foil experiment (alpha particles) proving nucleus contains protons and heaviest part of atom
What was the Bohr Model? (1913)
-Electrons have unchangeable energies stay on a path rotating around nucelus
-Electron: outer orbit to Inner orbit = energy given off
-Electron: inner orbit to outer orbit = energy absorbed
What is and Ion?
Electrons are added or taken away from a neutral atom, an Ion is formed
What happens when you take away electrons?
Cation is formed (positive ion)
What happens when you add electrons?
Anion is formed (negative ion)
What is Atomic Mass?
The number of protons and neutrons in an atom
(atomic mass - atomic # = # of neutrons)
What are Isotopes?
Atoms having the same atomic number (same # of protons) but different atomic masses (diff. number of neutrons)
What is electron configuration?
description of which orbitals in an atom contain electrons and how many electrons are in each orbital
What makes a d-subshell especially stable?
filled or 1/2 filled
What is the electronic configuration for Anions?
Add electrons to last unfilled subshell
What are the rules for the electronic configuration for Cations?
-electrons in outermost shell (with largest number value) are removed 1st
-within shell (same number value), most energetic removed 1st
What does Isoelectronic mean?
atoms & ions having the same # of electrons
What are Valence Electrons?
-electrons that take part in chemical Rxns
-all electrons except in the core and filled d or f orbitals OR when S&P are both filled
How many elements were known before 1830?
Approx. 50
Who invented the periodic table?
Dmitri Mendeleev
What was Dmitri Mendeleev periodic table?
-listed element in order of increasing mass
-categorized elements w/ similar properties
-Was able to predict elements w/ similar properties
-Was able to predict elements unknown yet
-Discovered “The Periodic Law” using it to create periodic table
-63 elements known during his work w/ chemistry
