19
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”

21
Q
  • He believed that
    matter was made
    up of four natural
    elements.
  • Matter is infinitely
    divisible.
  • He completely
    disagreed with
    Democritus
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
Proposed a theory for the hydrogen atom based on quantum theory that energy is transferred only in certain well defined quantities
Niels Bohr
26
The existence of the third subatomic particle was discovered through his experiments on Beryllium known as Neutrons.
James Chadwick
27
When an atom becomes charged, it becomes an ___
Ion
28
An ion becomes positive when it loses electron known as ___
Cation
29
An ion becomes negative when it gains electrons known as ____
Anion
30
Atoms of an element with difference number of neutrons are called ____ * It has same number of protons and electrons but different numbers of neutrons
isotopes
31
It states that the electrons will occupy the orbitals having lower energies before occupying higher energy orbitals
Aufbau Principle
32
It states that a maximum of two electrons can fit into a single orbital, each having opposite spins.
Pauli Exclusion Principle
33
This rule describes the order in which electrons are filled in all of the empty orbitals before pairing.
Hund's Rule
34
* Law of Triads * He grouped the elements in 3s * Concluded that atomic mass of the middle element is the average of the other two
Johann Wolfgang Dobereiner
35
* 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
John Newlands
36
* 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
Dmitri Mendeleev
37
* 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.
Julius Lothar Meyer
38
* He arranged the sequence of elements according to increasing atomic number. * This led to correction of the inconsistencies in the work of Mendeleev.
Henry Moseley
39
* He proposed an additional series of transuranium elements with an atomic number of 92 – 102 * These are called the lanthanide and actinide series.
Glenn Seaborg
40
* Vertical column of elements * Atoms of elements within a group have the same number of valence electrons
Group or Families
41
* Horizontal row of elements * Written on the left side of the periodic table
Period
42
* On the left side of the periodic table
metals
43
* On the right side of the periodic table
non-metals
44
* The elements that belong to B group are all metallic in nature * Has 2 categories: early and late transition metals * Located in the middle of PT between Group IIA and IIIA.
Transition Elements
45
have properties of both metals and non-metals.
Metalloids or Semi-metals
