Study Guide given Flashcards
A chemical compound always contains the same proportions
Law of Definite Proportions
- each element is composed of extremely small particles calls atoms.
- atoms of one element cannot be converted into atoms of another element by chemical reactions.
- atoms of an element are identical in mass and other properties and are different from atoms of any other elements.
- compounds result from the chemical combination of a specific ratio of different elements.
Atomic Theory
Positive sphere of matter with negative electrons embedded in it, say it resembled some english dessert.
Plum pudding model
mass is neither destroyed nor created in chemical reaction.
The mass of any one element of a reaction will equal the mass of that element at the end of the reaction.
Conservation of mass
American physicist at the university of chicago
measured the charge of electrons by observing the movement of tiny droplets of oil.
Robert Millikan
Scottish mathematician and physicist, established temperature scale for absolute zero.
Lord William Thomas Kelvin
Si temperature scale, has an absolute zero
The Kelvin (K)
New zealand physicist, solved the dilemna of atomic structure, discovered 3 types of radiation.
Rutherford
Carry 2 fundamental units of charged particles have essentially the same mass helium atoms.
alpha ray
are negatively charged particles produced by changes occurring in the nuclei of radioactive elements
beta rays
are not particles but high penetrating power electro magnetic radiation
gamma rays
Father of modern chemistry, french nobleman, disproved the theory of phlogistan using elements burned in a vacuum, discovered the law of conservation.
Antonine Lavoisier
Discovered radiation with Henri Becquerel, won noble prize, concluded uranium atoms were radioactive.
Madame Curie
Discovered that a compound of uranium spontaneously emits high-radiation, worked with Madame Curie.
Henri Becquerel
Solids at room temperature, metallic luster, malleable and ductible, good conductors of heat and energy.
Metals
