John Dalton's Atomic Theory
Definition
1. Elements: are composed of extremely small particles called atoms. All atoms of a given element are identical, having the same size, mass, and chemical properties. The atoms of one element are different from the atoms of all other elements

2. Compounds: are composed of atoms of more than one element. In any compound, the ratio of the numbers of atoms of any two of the elements present is either an integer or a simple fraction. (incorporates laws of definite proportions and multiple proportions)
a. Law of definite proportions: different samples of the same compound always contain its constituent elements in the same proportions by mass.
b. Law of multiple proportions: If two elements can combine to form more than one compound, the masses of one element that combine with a fixed mass of the other element are in ratios of small whole numbers (use CO and CO2 as an example: 12 to 16 versus 12 to 32.)
c. Law of conservation of mass: matter can be neither created nor destroyed

3. A chemical reaction involves only the separation, combination, or rearrangement of atoms; it does not result in their creation or destruction.
Term
Atom
Definition
the basic unit of an element that can enter into chemical combinations

charge and mass of electrons
Definition
negatively charged

mass= 9.1096 x 10^-31 kg
Term
charge and mass of protons
Definition
positively charged

Term
3 kinds of particles and/or radiation emitted by radioactive substances
Definition
alpha particles (helium nuclei)

beta (ß) particles (electrons)

gamma rays
Term
Atomic number
Definition
Z

number of protons in nucleus= number of electrons in a neutral atom
Term
mass number
Definition
A

sum of protons plus number of neutrons in nucleus
Term
Element
Definition
a form of matter in which all of the atoms have the same atomic number
Term
isotopes
Definition
when two atoms have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons

Therefore, two atoms of the same element can have different mass numbers
Term

Term
Molecule
Definition
an aggregated of at least two atoms in a definite arrangement held together by chemical forces (bonds)
Term
7 diatomic elements
Definition
H, N, O, F, Cl, Br, I

H2, N2, O2, F2, Cl2,Br2, I2 diatomic
Term
Ion
Definition

Term
cations
Definition
positive
Term
anions
Definition
negative
Term
Chemical Formulas
Definition
express the composition of molecules and ionic compounds in terms of chemical symbols
Term
Molecular formula
Definition
shows the exact number of atoms of each element in the smallest unit of a substance

EX: Methane = CH4
Term
Allotrope
Definition
one of two or more forms of an element

Ex: oxygen, O2 and ozone, O3
Term
Empirical formula
Definition
tells which atoms are present and the simplest whole number ratio of the atoms (determined by experiment)

glucose contains C, H, O in 1:2:1 ratio
therefore the empirical formula is CH2O
Term
