Democritus
1st theory- divide a sample of matter only a certain amount of times, then it wouldn’t spilt any further
Dalton
2nd theory- atoms are tiny particles that make up elements and atoms cannot be divided
all atoms of a given element are the same, atoms of 1 element are different to every other element
J J Thomson
3rd theory (discovered cathode rays (electrons))
-electrons were negative charge and were a stream of particles
-they could be deflected by magnet and electric fields
J J Thomson’s model
Plum pudding and showed negative electrons around a sea of positive charge so overall charge of atom is equal
Rutherford’s Gold foil experiment 1911
directed alpha particles at thin gold foil, thought because of plum pudding, no alpha deflected
Results to Gold Fold experiment
-most weren’t deflected
-small percentage were
-very small value deflected back towards source
This showed there was a nucleus in centre, positive charge and electrons orbited around nucleus. Overall charge must be balanced
Niels Bohr discovery
Found electrons must orbit in certain paths otherwise they would spiral into nucleus
This helped to explain periodic properties such as, the energy of electrons is different distances from the nucleus
1918
Proton discovered
1932 James Chadwick
Neutron discovered
Protons and neutrons can be broken down into…
quarks
isotope
an atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons but different number of neutrons
why don’t diff isotopes of the same element react diff
as electrons are involved in chemical reactions not neutrons
relative atomic mass
the weighted mean mass of an atom of an element, compared with 1/12th of the mass of the atom of carbon-12
relative molecular mass
the weighted mean mass of a molecule, compared with 1/12th of the mass of an atom of carbon-12
relative isotopic mass
the mass of one atom of an isotope compared with 1/12th of the mass of an atom of carbon-12
relative formula mass
the weighted mean mass of a formula unit of a substance compared with 1/12th of the mass of an atom of carbom-12
metals (group 1-13) do they lose/gain
lose electrons — positive ion
non-metals (group 15-17) do they lose/gain
gain electrons —- negative ions
Be B Si and C all have what in common
none of them can form ion as it would require too much energy to transfer outer shell electrons
ionic formula overall charge
zero as +ions and -ions have to be balanced
amount of substance
the quantity that has moles as its units, used as a way to calculate atoms
mole
the amount of substance containing as many particles as there were carbon atoms in 12g of the carbon-12 isotope
molar mass
mass per mole of a substance in gmol-1
avogardo constant defintion
the number of atoms per mole of the carbon-12 isotope
