Review (more in-depth) Flashcards
Avogadro (S)
Determined the number of objects in one mole is 6.022 x 10^23. He also found that equal volumes of gases at the same temp. and pressure contain the same number of molecules.
Born (S)
Showed that the probability of the location of an electron can be determined.
Boyles (S)
Found that volume and pressure of a gas vary inversely if the amount and temp. is held constant.
Bronsted and Lowry (S)
Defined an acid as a proton receiver and the base as the proton giver.
Chadwick (S)
Discovered neutrons.
Charles (S)
Determined that the temp. and volume of a gas are directly related if amount and pressure is held constant.
Dalton (S)
Modern atomic theory. (Ptotal=P1+P2…Pn)
Dobereiner (S)
First attempt to classify elements by grouping elements with similar properties precursor to the periodic table.
Gay-Lussac (S)
Determined that temp. and pressure of a gas are directly related if amount and volume are held constant.
Graham (S)
Determined that the ratio of the rates of the diffusion of gases is equal to the square root of the inverse ratio of their molecular masses.
Heisenberg (S)
Uncertainty Principle (It is impossible to know the exact position of an electron in an atom)
Hund (S)
Electrons will fill all empty orbitals before pairing up in one orbital.
Le Chatelier (S)
Determined that if stress is applied to a system at equilibrium that the system will shift as to relieve the stress.
Lewis (S)
Used dot diagrams to represent an atom and its (outermost) valence electrons. Also defined an acid as an electron receiver and a base as the electron giver.
Mendeleev (S)
Proposed that the properties of elements were a function of their atomic masses and thus formulated the periodic table.
Millikan (S)
Used oil drop experiment to determine charge on an electron.
Mosely (S)
Revised the periodic table and found that properties of elements are based on atomic number rather than atomic mass.
Pauli (S)
Exclusion Principle (two electrons can never occupy the same space)
Planck (S)
Quantum Theory (energy is given off in packets called quanta)
Rutherford and Bohr (S)
Planetary model of atomic structure; Rutherford’s gold foil experiment showed that the atom is made of mostly space and with dense nucleus.
Schrodinger (S)
Wave Equation (used to determine the position of an electron as a wave rather than a particle)
Thompson (S)
Discovered electrons using cathode ray tube. Determined charge/mass ratio.

Transition Metal
A metal found in the center of the periodic table that can have multiple oxidation numbers so it has a roman numeral with it when naming compounds.
Halogen
An element found in Group 17 with a -1 oxidation number.
Alkali Metals
An element found in Group 1 with +1 oxidation. They are very reactive.

Metalloid
Elements having a common side with the stairstep line excluding aluminum that have some characteristics of metals.
Ion
An atom that has an unequal number of electrons and protons thus producing a charge. A cation is the result of too few electrons, while an anion is the result of two many electrons.
Atom
The smallest piece of an element that retains the properties of an element. It is composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Isotope
A form of an atom with a different number of neutrons thus having a different atomic mass than other atoms of this element.
