- This guy first used the term atom to descrive the smallest unit of matter
- Democritus
- Law of Conservation of Mass
- Lavoisier: the total mass before a chemical change is the same as after a chemical change.
- Law of Definite Composition(/Proportion)
- Proust: In a given compound, the relative number and kinds of atoms are constant OR in a given compound, there is always present the same proportion of elements by mass
- 4 points of Dalton's Atomic Theory
-
1. All elements are composed of small, indivisible particles called atoms.
2. Atoms of a given element are identical. Atoms of diff. elements are diff. and have diff. properties.
3. In a chemical rxn atoms are neither created nor destroyed.
4. When 2 or more elements combine, a compound is formed. Compounds always have the same relative # and kids of atoms. - Which of Dalton's 4 points is/are wrong?
-
1. atoms are indivisible. Nuclear fusion/fission
2. Atoms of a given element are identical. isotopes. - Law of Multiple Proportions
- If 2 or more compounds are composed of the same 2 elements, the ration of the masses of the 2nd element combines w/ a certain mass of the 1st element is always a ration of small whole #'s.
- He discovered the election and proposed to plum pudding atomic
- J.J. Thomson
- His work on cathode rays showed that electrons were negatively charged.
- William Crooke
-
From his famous gold foil experiment, he concluded that an atom is mostly empty space with a small, dense, positively charged nucleus
(mass of a proton is 1amu/dalton) - Rutherford
- He is credited with discovering the neutron.
- James Chadwick
-
proposed that electrons orbit the nucleus similar to the way the planets revolve around the Sun (wrong)
the ____ of atom - Niehls Bohr
- The modern atom is called
-
-electron cloud
-quantum cloud-model - In the electron cloud , what is special about the electrons?
- We can only predict the probability of finding an electron in a certain area at a certain time.
- What non-SI unit do scientists often use to give atomic diameters?
- angstrom = 10^-10 m
- We can never at any given time give an electron's exact location and speed. We can only predict the probability of where it is at any given moment is called the...
- Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle.
- Define proton
- + charged particles located in the nucleus. Mass is approximately 1 amu.
- Define Neutron
- neutral particle located in the nucleus. The mass of a neutron is approximately 1 amu.
- Define Electron
- - charged particle located in area around the nucleus. Mass of electrons is negligible (fairly insignificant)
