Who developed a naming system for chemicals?

A

Antoine Laurent Lavoisier

29
Q

Who was the father of modern chemistry

A

Antoine Laurent Lavoisier

30
Q

What was the first theory of matter?

A

John Dalton suggested that matter was made of elements and he also composed a model of the elements. His description was called the billard ball model because it was comprised of solid spheres. And all atoms of a certain substance were the same.

31
Q

What is a subatomic particle?

A

A particle smaller than an atom

32
Q

Who discovered a subatomic particle?

A

J.J. Thompson

33
Q

What are electrons?

A

Negatively charged pieces of an atom.

34
Q

Who discovered the raisin bun model (1897)?

A

J.J. Thomson

35
Q

Describe the raising bun model?

A

A negatively charged sphere with negative electrons embedded in it

36
Q

Who created the earth orbiting the sun model?

A

Hantaro Nagaoka

37
Q

Describe the earth orbiting the sun model

A

A positively charged sphere with negative electrons orbiting it in a ring.

38
Q

What did rutherford believe about the atom?

A

He suggested that atoms were mainly empty space through which the positive particles could pass, but at the core was a tiny positively charged centre.

39
Q

Who created the solar system model?

A

Niels Bohr

40
Q

Describe the Niels Bohr solar system model

A

The electrons orbit in circles called electron shells around the nucleus.

41
Q

What did James chadwick discover?

A

That the nucleus contained particle called protons and neutrons

42
Q

What is the purpose as the protons?

A

They add weight to the nucleus but contain no electrical charge

43
Q

What is the quantum mechanics version of an atom?

A

It describes a cloud around the nucleus where negative particles are.

44
Q

What did they do to label metals before John Dalton?

A

Early chemists used symbols of the Sun and planets

45
Q

Who made the current version of describing elements and describe it?

A

Swedish chemist Jöns Jacob Berzelius. He made it using the first letter of an element capitalized

46
Q

What is atomic mass?

A

Atomic mass is the mass of one atom of an element

47
Q

What is atomic mass measured in?

A

Atomic mass units

48
Q

What did John Newlands discover?

A

The ‘law of octaves’ every 7 elements the properties repeats

49
Q

Who proved the law of octaves?

A

Mendeleev

50
Q

What is each horizontal row in the periodic table called?

A

A period

51
Q

What is each vertical column in the periodic table called?

A

Group or Family

What is the number in the top left corner of the periodic table represent?

A

The Atomic Number

53
Q

What does the atomic number represent?

A

The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom

54
Q

What is the atomic mass?

A

the mass of an atom equivalent to the number of the protons and neutrons

55
Q

What is the number in the middle of the element?

A

The atomic mass

56
Q

What is the mass number in a periodic table element?

A

It represents the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in an atom

57
Q

How can you find the neutrons of an element?

A

mass number - atomic number = number of neutrons

58
Q

What is the first group of the periodic table?

A

Alkali metals

59
Q

What is the second group of the periodic table?
