Ch2 redo Flashcards
Smallest particle of an element
Atom
Dalton’s atomic theory (4)
- Atoms are the most basic matter
particles that make up the elements
2.Atoms of the same elements are the same.
3.Atoms of one element cannot be chemically
changed into atoms of another element.
4.Atoms combined in whole number ratios can
describe compounds.
Discoverer of electron
JJ Thomson
Plum pudding model
by JJ Thomson, electrons in an positively charged sphere
Discoverer of proton
Ernest Rutherford
Gold foil experiment
Ernest Rutherford shot alpha particles at gold foil and noticed some were shot off at high angles
Rutherford’s nuclear model
nucleus of protons and neutrons, very dense
with a light and voluminous electron cloud
mostly empty space

Atomic number (Z)
number of protons in an element, lower left number when given.
Atomic mass (A)
number of protons plus neutrons, upper left number
Given in amu(atomic mass unit)
What are atoms of the same element but with different masses(due to differences in neutrons)?
isotopes
weighted average of atomic weights
mass of an isotope times its relative abundance plus the same for each isotope
Columns of periodic table are?
Groups, elements in the same group have similar chemical properties.
Rows of periodic table are?
Periods
Alkali metals are which group?
1A ex: Li
Alkaline earth metals are which group?
2A ex: Be
Chalcogens are which group?
6A ex: O
Halogens are which group?
7A ex: F
Noble gases are which group?
8A ex: He
Characteristics of metals
metallic shine (luster) conduct electricity well conduct heat well malleable ductile usually solid at room temp various reactivity loses electrons to form cations(positive) usually form ionic compounds
Characteristics of non-metals
poor electrical conductors poor heat conductors mostly found in compounds not malleable or ductile variable reactivity usually forming molecular compounds sharing of electrons) gain electrons to form anions(negative)
Subscript to the right of element symbol means?
the number of atoms of that element in one molecule of the compound.
