Law of Definite Proportions
A given chemical compound always contains the SAME ELEMENTS in the EXACT same PROPORTIONS of mass
The Law of Conservation of Mass
During a chemical reaction the total MASS of the PRODUCTS must be EQUAL to the TOTAL MASS of the REACTANT
Law of Multiple Proportions
Whenever same two elements form more than one compound, the diff masses of one element COMBINE with the other mass of the other element are in a RATIO or SMALL WHOLE NUMBERS
Dalton’s atomic theory
- Elements are made up of tiny indivisible particles called atoms (nope, divisible..)
- Atoms of the same elements are identical, different = different
- Atoms of one element can combine with atoms of other elements in small whole # ratios to form compounds
- Chemical reactions can be described as the separation, combination, or rearrangement of atoms
Who is JJ Thomson?
He discovered the electrons using a cathode ray tube
Who is Rutherford?
Discovered the nucleus by gold foil experiment
- dense & positively charged
- electrons outside nucleons
The atom is mostly..
Empty space
Atomic Number
of Protons
Mass Number
Total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus
Protons + neutrons
Neutrons
Mass # - protons
Electrons
Protons in a neutral atom
Isotopes
Atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons but can have a different mass number (diff number of neutrons)
Atom
the smallest particle of an element that retains the properties of that element
Subatomic particles
- Electron
- Neutron
- Proton
Nucleus
small dense core of the atom which contains the positive charge and most of the mass
Nuclear model of an atom
one in which the nucleus is composed of protons and neutrons, while electrons are distributed throughout the rest of the space
Find the average atomic mass..
Ex) • chlorine-35: atomic mass = 34.969 amu
% abundance = 75.77%
• chlorine-37: atomic mass = 36.966 amu
% abundance = 24.23%
1) divide percentage by 100
2) time new percentage by mass number
0.7577 × 34.969 = 26.50 amu
0. 2423 × 36.966 = 8.957 amu
3) add the two new mass
26. 50 + 8.957 = 35.45 amu
4) the answer is 35.45
Molar mass
The mass of one mole of representative particles of a substance
The rays in a cathode tube are
Deflected away from a negative plate
Most of the volume of an atom is occupied by the
Electrons
Because a few particles bounced back from the foul, Rutherford concluded that they were
Repelled by densely packed regions of positive charge
Cathode rays led to the discovery of
Electrons
Who identified the nucleus
Rutherford
Which part of Dalton’s theory has been modified
Atoms cannot be divided
