The Atom + Arrangements of Electrons in the Atom Flashcards
Chemistry
Branch of science that deals with the structure and composition of matter and the reactions needed to change it from 1 substance to another
Matter
Anything that occupies space and has mass
Mixture
2 or more substances MINGLED together but not chemically combined
an Element
a substance that cannot be split into simpler substances by chemical means
Compound
2 or more elements chemically combined
Atoms
smallest particle of an element that can exist on its own
Molecule
2 or more atoms chemically combined together
Ions
charged atoms
Cations
positively charged ions due to loss of electrons from an atom
Anions
negetively charged ions due to gain of electrons by an atom
Prove the particular state of matter
(diagram of ammonia and hydrochloric acid meet to create a ring of ammonium chloride)
Law of Conservation of Matter/Energy/Mass
Matter is neither created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction, it simply changes from 1 form into another
Discharge Tube
- A long glass tube with a metal electrode at each end of the tube
- and the gas inside at very low pressure (almost vaccum)
- passing electricity through tube produced invisible rays,
- moving from the cathode to the anode
- > cathode rays causing glass to fluoresce
Diffusion
spontaneous spreading out of a substance due to the natural movement of its particles
Brownian motion
Random, rapid movement of particles
Name 3 sub-atomic particles (subs.)
Protons
Neutrons
Electrons
Prove cathode rays travel in straight lines
(William Crooke’s diagram of maltese cross casting shadow in discharge tube)
Prove cathode rays posess energy
(William Crooke’s diagram of paddle wheel apparatus)
