Term
Dalton's #1
Definition
Elements are composed of small paricles called atoms.
Term
Dalton's #2
Definition
All atoms of one element are identical. Atoms of one element differ from all other elements.
Term
Dalton's #3
Definition
two or more element atoms combine in fixed whole number ratios to form chemical compounds.
Term
Dalton's #4
Definition
Atoms are not created or destroyed in regular chemical reactions.
Term
Law of conservation of mass
Definition
Lavoisier, 1743-94, Matter cannot be created or destroyed in regular chemical reactions.
Term
Law of Definite Proportions
Definition
Proust 1754-1826, A chemical compound always contains the same proportion of elements by mass. A compound has the same composition regardless of origin.
Term
Rutherford experiment
Definition
By shooting alpha particles at gold foil rutherford was able to see that the atomic model is comprised of a very small, very dense, positivly charged nucleus. Electrons comprise most of the space of the atom but very little mass. Atoms are mostly empty space. The number of protons is = to the # of electons. The nucleus contains protons = to its atomic number and neutrons account for the rest of the mass of the atom.
Term
Milikan experiment
Definition
Ionized oil drop experiment where negatively chaged oil droplets where injected into a space between charged disks. Determined the charge of the electron.
Term
JJ Thomson experiment/ model
Definition
Used cathode ray tubes, electromagnets, and electrodes to find that cathode rays are comprised of electrons, that electrons are the fundamental negative subatomic particle, the charge to mass ratio of elctrons. (z/g) is the same regardless of the source of rays. Plum pudding model disproved by rutherford.
Term
Basic atomic structure
Definition
the atomic model is comprised of a very small, very dense, positivly charged nucleus. Electrons comprise most of the space of the atom but very little mass. Atoms are mostly empty space. The number of protons is = to the # of electons. The nucleus contains protons = to its atomic number and neutrons account for the rest of the mass of the atom.
Term
given isotopic mass and fractional abundance, calculate atomic weight (amu)
Definition
isotopic mass X percent abundance in decimal form. Add these numbers to find average mass of all isotopes.
Term
given mass, calculate moles. visa versa
Definition
mass X moles/atomic weight= #of moles

moles X atomic weight/moles = mass.

Atomic mass = 1 mole = 6.022 X 10 to the 23 atoms
Term
cation
Definition
+ charge ion
Term
anion
Definition
negatively charged anion
Term
ion
Definition
charged atom made because an atom or chemically bonded group of atoms lost or gained electrons
Term
alkali metals
Definition
Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Fr
Term
alkali earth metals
Definition
Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Ra
Term
Metalloids
Definition
B, Si, As, Ge, Sb, Te
Term
halogens
Definition
F, Cl, Br, I, At, 117
Term
Noble gasses
Definition
He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, Rn
Term
isotope
Definition
atoms of an element that have different mass due to a different # of electrons.
Term
Avagadro's number
Definition
6.022 X 10^23 number of carbon 12 atoms in exactly 12 grams of carbon 12
Term
fractional abundance
Definition
fraction of the total # of atoms of an element that are a certain isotope
Term
Atomic mass
Definition
the weighted average of all the naturally occuring isotopes of the element (relative to carbon 12
Term
mole
Definition
the amount of a substance that contains the same number of elementary units as there are carbon 12 atoms in exactly 12 grams of carbon 12
Term
Molar mass
Definition
the mass in grams of one mole. The molar mass for any element is = to the atomic weight
