A

Scientific law

26
Q

Law of conservation of mass

A

In a chemical reaction, matter is neither created nor destroyed- Lavoisier.

27
Q

” All matter was composed of me all indestructible particle called atoms.”

A

Atomic theory

28
Q

The smallest identifiable unit of an element.

A

Atom

29
Q

Electron

A

Negatively charged particle that occupies most of the atoms volume but contributes almost none of its mass.

30
Q

1) each element is composed of tiny indestructible particles called atoms
2) all Atoms of a given element have the same mass and other properties that distinguish them from the Atoms of other elements
3) Atoms combined in simple whole number ratios to form compounds

A

Atomic theory – John Dalton

31
Q

1) most of the Atoms mass and all of its positive charge are contained in the small core called nucleus
2) most of the volume of the Atom is empty space through which the tiny negatively charged electrons are dispersed
3) there is many negatively charged electrons outside the nucleus as there are positively charged particles inside the nucleus so that the Atom is electrically neutral

A

Nuclear theory of an atom

32
Q

Occupies left side of the table they are good conductors of heat and electricity

A

33
Q

Occupies upper right side of the table properties include solids at room temperature, gases that tend to gain electrons will undergo a chemical changes.

A
