Unit 4 Chem test Review Flashcards
Democritus contribution
-460 BC
-Gave us the term Atom
Dalton
-Early 1800s
-Dalton’s theory 4 main points
Who/what work did Dalton follow?
-Lavoisier, Law of conservation of Matter
-Proust, Law of Constant Composition
Dalton’s theory 4 main points
-All Matter consists of tiny particles called Atoms
-Atoms are indestructible and unchangeable. A chemical reaction simply changes the way the atoms are grouped together.
-Elements are identified by their atoms. All atoms of a given element are identical, but they differ from those of any other element.
-When elements react, their atoms combine in
simple, whole-number ratios.
How was Dalton wrong in his theory?
Atoms CAN be broken into smaller parts. Example-Subatomic particles
All atoms of a given element are NOT identical. Example-Different isotopes
Benjamin Franklin
-Mid 1800s
-Found that there were two kinds of electrical charges
(+) and (-)
Thomson Contributions
-Late 1800s
-ALL atoms contain tiny negatively charged subatomic particles, electrons.
-Plum pudding, or Chocolate chip cookie dough
Thomson experiment
Cathode ray tube- Electrons travel from a negatively charged Cathode to a positively charged Anode.
Millikan
-1900s
-Oil drop experiment
measured the charge and
mass of an electron.
Becquerel/Curies
-Radiation given of from Elements: radium, polonium, and Uranium
-Discovered Radioactivity:-spontaneous emission of radiation from an
element.
The nature of an atom changes when it gives off radiation (energy).
Rutherford experiment
Gold foil experiemnt, shot a beam of alpha particles at a sheet of gold foil, a few of the particles were deflected. He concluded that a tiny, dense nucleus was causing the deflections.
Rutherford changes to the atomic theory
-Concluded that the atom’s mass is concentrated in a positive, dense center, nucleus.
-The light, negatively charged, electrons circulated around this nucleus, much like planets revolving around the Sun.
Chadwick
Credited with the discovery of the neutron
Bohr key changes
Electrons travel in definite energy levels (orbitals) instead of random motion
Model of the atom became a planetary model.
changes with electrons
Schrodinger- based on
-mathematical equation to find
where electrons are mostly moving
-Concept of electron clouds=where an electron is
predicted to be 90% of the time
Quantum Mechanical Model
Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
