Q

He said that
matter consists of
smallest bits of
tiny indivisible
particles called
atoms

A

Democritus

20
Q

came from
Greek word “atomos”
meaning “uncut”

A

Atoms

21
Q
  • He believed that
    matter was made
    up of four natural
    elements.
  • Matter is infinitely
    divisible.
  • He completely
    disagreed with
    Democritus
A

Aristotle

22
Q
  • All matters are made
    up of indivisible and
    indestructible
    particles called
    atoms.
  • Atoms may form
    compounds when
    combined together.
  • All atoms with
    common elements
    are the same.
    The atoms of different
    elements vary from
    one another.
A

John Dalton

23
Q
  • He announced that
    Cathode rays
    consist of
    negatively charged
    particles called
    electrons
  • Used the “plum- pudding” or “raisin
    bread” model
  • He suggested that
    the negatively-
    charged electrons
    are embedded in a
    positively charged
    particle
A

Joseph John Thomson

24
Q
  • According to his
    experiment, most
    alpha particles pass
    through the foil
    signifying that the
    atom is an empty
    space.
  • He is known for his
    work in Gold foil
    experiment.
  • This observation led
    him in a conclusion
    that the atom has a
    very minute positive
    particles called
    proton.
A

Ernest Rutherford

25
Q

Proposed a theory for the hydrogen atom based on quantum theory that energy is transferred only in certain well defined quantities

A

Niels Bohr

26
Q

The existence of the third subatomic
particle was discovered through his experiments on Beryllium known as
Neutrons.

A

James Chadwick

27
Q

When an atom
becomes charged, it
becomes an ___

A

Ion

28
Q

An ion becomes
positive when it
loses electron known
as ___

A

Cation

29
Q

An ion becomes
negative when it
gains electrons
known as ____

A

Anion

30
Q

Atoms of an element with difference number of neutrons are called ____
* It has same number of protons and electrons but
different numbers of
neutrons

A

isotopes

31
Q

It states that the electrons will occupy the orbitals having lower energies before occupying higher energy orbitals

A

Aufbau Principle

32
Q

It states that a maximum of two electrons can fit into a single orbital, each having opposite spins.

A

Pauli Exclusion Principle

33
Q

This rule describes the order in which electrons are filled in all of the empty orbitals before pairing.

A

Hund’s Rule

34
Q
  • Law of Triads
  • He grouped the elements in 3s
  • Concluded that atomic mass of the
    middle element is the average of the
    other two
A

Johann Wolfgang
Dobereiner

35
Q
  • Law of Octaves
  • Arranged the elements in increasing
    atomic weights.
  • Noticed that many pairs of elements
    have similar physical properties.
  • Property of element is being repeated
    after an interval of eight elements
A

John Newlands

36
Q
  • Developed periodic table like what we are using today.
  • Arranged the elements in increasing atomic masses.
  • Observed that the same physical and
    chemical properties of the elements were periodically repeated
A

Dmitri Mendeleev

37
Q
  • German Chemist that included 56 elements
    in the periodic table.
  • His work was nearly alike to Mendeleev’s
    model, but Mendeleev’s work was more
    credited because of his prediction about the
    elements of yet to be discovered.
A

Julius Lothar Meyer

38
Q
  • He arranged the sequence of elements
    according to increasing atomic number.
  • This led to correction of the inconsistencies
    in the work of Mendeleev.
A

Henry Moseley

39
Q
  • He proposed an additional series
    of transuranium elements with an
    atomic number of 92 – 102
  • These are called the lanthanide
    and actinide series.
