What does Dalton's atomic theory say?
Definition
1. All elements are composed of tiny indivisible particles called atoms2. Atoms of the same element are identical. The atoms of any one element are different from those of any other element.3. Atoms of different elements can physically mix together or can chemically combine with one another in simple whole-number ratios to form compounds.4. Chemical reactions occur when atoms are seperated, joined, or rearranged. Atoms of one element, however, are never changed into atoms of another element as a result of a chemical reaction.
Term

Term
Whats in an atom and where are the parts located?
Definition
Protons and Neutrons - in the nucleus- Electrons: orbiting the nucleus
Term
What is atomic number?
Definition
Number of protons in the nucleus(this also equals the number of electrons)
Term
What is mass number?
Definition
number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus
Term
What is an isotope?
Definition
Atoms that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons
Term
What is atomic mass?
Definition
a weighted average mass of the atoms in a naturally occuring sample of the elements
Term
Who constructed the first periodic table and how was it set up?
Definition
Mendeleev-increasing atomic mass

What is the shape of the s orbital?
Definition
spherical
Term
What is the shape of p orbitals?
Definition
dumb-bell
Term
How do you get the first quantum number?
Definition
It is the coefficient of the outermost energy level (aka the biggest number)
Term
How do you get the second quantum number?
Definition
the orbital its in: s=0; p=1; d=2; f=3
Term
How do you get the third quantum number?
Definition
it depends on where you land. The center circle is 0 and you act like its a number line
Term
How do you get the 4th quantum number?
Definition
if the orbital you land in is full, then the last quantum number is -1/2. If the orbital you land is half full then the last quantum number is +1/2
Term
What does Aufbau principle say?
Definition
Electrons enter orbitals of lowest energy first.
Term
What does the Pauli exclusion principle say?
Definition
an atomic orbital may describe at most two electrons
Term
What does Hund's rule say?
Definition
WHen electrons occupy orbitals of equal energy, one electron enters each orbital until all the orbitals contain one electron with parallel spins
Term
What does the Heisenberg uncertainty principle say?
Definition
it is impossible to know exactly both the velocity and the position of a particle at the same time
Term
