Unit 3 Test Flashcards
Chemistry
Chemistry is the study of the composition, properties, and structure of matter, the process that matter undergoes, and the energy changes that accompany these processes
Atom
Smallest unit of an element that maintains the chemical identity of that element
Nucleus
Has at least one proton, and one or more neutrons.
Electron Cloud
Area where the electrons hang out - probability area
Atomic number
The number of protons in the nucleus or each atom of that element
Atomic mass unit
1/12 the mass of a carbon-12 atom
Isotope
are atoms of the same element with different masses
Mass Number
Total number of protons and neutrons
Mole
6.022 * 10(23)
Who was Dalton?
he was a schoolteacher who created an atomic theory
What was wrong with Dalton’s Atomic Theory
Atoms cannot be subdivided
What was correct about Dalton’s theory?
every single atom of an element is the same as every other atom of that element.
JJ Thompson?
Cathode Ray Tube (showed that all atoms contain tiny negatively charged subatomic particles or electrons.)
Millikan?
Oil Drop Experiment(Able to calculate the charge of a single electron (9.109 * 10(-28)g)
Rutherford? (You will have to draw and describe it)
Gold Foil Experiment (Alpha particles were shot at gold Foil, most went straight through with few deflections, however, some deflections came right back at the source.)
