part 1

true/false
Definition
"all matter is composed of indivisible atoms"

false, atoms can be subdivided into electron, protons, neutrons
Term
Dalton's atomic theory (1803)
part 2

part 3

true/false

part 4

true/false

atoms are not created, destroyed, or broken into smaller particles by any chemical rxn

true
Term
Applications of Dalton's atomic theory:
Law of conservation of mass

total mass doesn't change during a chemical rxn

Deductions from Dalton's atomic theory:
Law of multiple proportions

when 2 elements can form more than one compound, the masses of one element in these compounds (for a fixed mass of the other element) are in small whole number ratios

discovery of the electron (1897)
by whom? how?
significance?
Definition

Term
nuclear model of the atom:
rocks and photographic plates (1896);
who? significance?
Definition
Henri Bequerel
rocks overexposed his photographic plates, therefore the rocks were producing light, therefore were radioactive
Term
nuclear model of the atom:
Marie Curie said?
Definition
"radioactivity" shows that atoms are made of smaller particles
Term
nuclear model of the atom:
splitting radiation (1903)
who?
significance?

Rutherford; showed alpha particles were He2+ ions and B-rays were electrons
-alpha radiation showed nucleus changing, therefore atoms are not unchangeable atoms
Term
nuclear model of the atom:
Gold foil experiment (1909)
who? sig?
Definition
hans geiger and ernest marsden; found approx. 1 in 8,000 a-particles scattered. this was used for the basis of Rutherford's nuclear model
Term
Rutherford's nuclear model (1911)
Definition
-nucleus is positively charged
-nucleus is small compared to the atomic diameter (10^-10 m versus 10^-15m)
Term
Rutherford (1911):
when a-particles collide w nitrogen and other gases, ______ form?
Definition
hydrogen nuclei (protons)
Term
Bothe and Becker (1930)
Definition
when a-particles struck beryllium target, strongly penetrating radiation was produced
Term
James Chadwick (1932)
Definition
showed that some radiation consistes of a neutral particle with a mass approx. that of a proton (neutrons)
Term
nucleus
Definition
core of atom
comprises most of the mass of atom, along w one or more units of positive charge
Term
electron
Definition
neg charge particle
very light
exists in region around positive nucleus
Term
proton
Definition
positively charged particle
equal in magnitude but opposite charge of electron
mass is 1836 times that of electron, nearly the same as neutron's
Term
neutron
Definition
no charge
mass nearly identical to proton's
Term
atomic number:
symbol, definition
Definition
Z
number of protons in nucleus
(determines chemical identity of the atom)
Term
mass number:
symbol; def
Definition
A
number of protons + neutrons
(protons and neutrons give particle its mass)
Term

Definition
atoms of a element with same number of protons but differing number of neutrons
Term
nuclide symbol
Definition
distinguishes isotopes of an element
A/Z X
X= element symbol
Term

Definition
can separate different isotopes of an element;
one can obtain percent abundance of isotopes by calculating the relative peak areas
