Chapter4 Flashcards
In isotope notation what comes first
The numbers or the symbol
Numbers then symbol
What does amu stand for? What is it related to?
Atomic mass unit
1/12 of a C-12 atom
In isotope notation what number goes on top
What number goes on bottom
Top is mass number
Bottom is atomic number
Difference btw mass number and atomic mass
Mass number is number of protons + number of neutrons
Atomic mass is weighted average
Who did the cathode ray
Jj Thompson
Who did the golf foil experiment
Rutherford
T/F The reason JJ Thompson reasoned that electrons must be part of the atoms of all elements was because the charge-to-mass ratio of the electrons was the same, regardless of the gas used or material used as the anode/cathode
True
T/F The reason JJ Thompson reasoned that electrons were negatively charged was because cathode rays can be deflected
True
What did Dalton think about the atom
It was small and indestructible and indivisible
What were the four ideas in Dalton’s atomic theory
- All atoms are small indivisible particles
- All atoms of same element of are same. All atoms of different elements are different
- Atoms can chemically or physically mix together in whole number ratios.
- Chemical reactions can occur but atoms of one element never change into atoms of another
