25
Exothermic
Gives off heat energy. Ex: hand warmers
26
Endothermic
Uses heat energy Ex: ice pack
27
Solute
A substance dissolved in a solution. Ex: Salt
28
Solvent
Substance that dissolves a solute. Ex: water
29
Solution
Homogenous mixture that may contain solid, liquid, gas.
30
Filtrate
Material, usually liquid, that has passed through a filter.
31
Precipitate
Formation of a solid in a solution.
32
Law of conservation of mass
Mass is neither created nor destroyed, only changed.
33
Anion
negative charge
34
What is an isotope
elements that have a difference in their neutrons and therefor mass/stability
35
For anion naming in isotopes
Drop ending of the element and ad ide and then ion
36
Filtration
Filtrate passes through filter, residue is left behind.
37
Evaporation
Heat the solution until solvent evaporates leaving behind the solid residue.
38
For cation naming
Add ion to the element name
39
For transition metal naming
there are multiple charges so we use roman numerals name (numeral) ion
40
Atomic mass
Weighted average of all the isotopes for an element. amu
41
Relative abundance
The frequency of the isotopes occurring in nature.
42
Ous ending
a lower charge
43
Ic-ending
higher charge
44
What is a nuclear reaction
Changes the composition of the atoms nucleus due to the nucleus being unstable
45
Radiation
Emission of energy as electromagnetic waves or subatomic particles.
46
Radiocativity
-spontaneous emission of radiation from a atom
47
Nuclear stability
-associated with p+ and n* -strong nuclear forces -p+ repelling p+ electro magnetic repulsion -n have no electrical repulsion so they act as a glue holding the nucleus together - elements 1-20 p=n stable -past 20 more n required -past 80 radioactive due to p and n balance.
48
Properties of Alpha radation
-2 p 2 n -mass of 4 amu -charge +2 -when you gain/lose the element changes -slower due to a larger mass -when their is to many p and high repulsion
49
Beta radiation:
-high speed e- from nucleus -n split into p and e -mass o -charge -1 -occurs when an n needs to be kicked out
50
Democritus
Gave the term "atom". Current def: An atom is the smallest particle of an element that retains the chemical identity of the element.
51
Dalton
Used Lavoisier's law of conservation of matter and Proust's law of constant comp. the create his 4 point theory. 1. All matter consists of tiny particles called atoms. 2. When elements react, the combine in simple whole number ratios. 3. Atoms are indestructible and unchangeable. 4. Elements are identified by their atoms. All atoms of a given element are identical. 3 and 4 are now proven incorrect.
52
Franklin
Stationary electric charge, two kinds of electrical charge (+ and -).
53
Thomson
Experimented with currents of electricity inside empty glass tubes (cathode ray tubes). Discovered sum atomic particles. The cathode rays were made up of electrons.
54
Gamma Radation
-high energy -not made of particles -mass 0 charge 0 -electromagnetic radiation -typically goes with alpha/beta
55
Fission
splitting -large nucleus breaks into 2 or more small pieces A+B --> C -emission/decay
56
Fusion
combine -small moving particles fuses with the nucleus A+B=C -capture/bombard
57
Half life
average amount of time for half a sample to decay
58
Bequerel/Curies
Discovered radiation from uranium, radium, and polonium. Showed that atoms could be changed. Alpha, beta, gamma.
59
Milikan
Oil drop experiment. Measured the charge and mass of an electron. Found mass and charge of the electron.
60
Rutherford
Gold foil experiment. Discovered that the atom has a dense, positive center and most of the atom is empty space. Discovery of proton.
61
Chadwick
Discovered the neutron.
62
Bohr
Flame tests and spectrum. Electrons travel in definite energy levels (orbitals) instead of random motion.
63
Schrodinger
Concept of electron clouds.
64
Atomic emission spectrum
-spectrum with only certain colors -finger print of an element
65
Continuous Spectrum
contains all colors on in order of freq. /wavelength
66
Max Planck
studied light emitted from heated objects connected energy and frequency
67
Quanta
atoms can gain or lose energy in specific amounts
68
E(quanta)=hv
E- quanta h-planks constant 6.626 * 10 -34 v-frequency (hz)
69
Quantum theory
light energy comes in specific amounts (packets) photons- packets of em radiation photoelectric effect-electrons are ejected from surfaces of metals when certain frequencies of light shine on metals
70
Light production
1: e at ground state lowest energy level and most stable 2: add energy 3: e jump to a higher energy energy state excited state 4: e drop back down and resale the added energy as light
71
The energy levels
there are 7 each energy level has sub levels s(low e-),p,d,f(high e-) 2 electrons max per orbital
72
Electromagnetic radiation
Forms of energy that exhibit wave like behavior as it travels
73
Order of electro. radiation in order of increasing frequency
radio, radar, micro,infrared, visible, ultraviolet, x-ray, gamma
74
Wavelength
Shortest distance between equivalent points on a continuous wave. Crest to crest etc.
75
Quantum numbers
n=principle energy level L= energy sub level/shape (s,p,d,f) ml= orientation in space p^x, p^x ms= electron spin
76
Bohr's energy equation
E=Rh(1/ni-1/nf) e-energy of jump/fall (J) Rh-rydbergs constant 2.18 *10^18 ni=intail enery level nf=final energy level
77
Frequency
Number of waves that pass a given point per second. Hertz. 1Hz=1wave/1sec
78
Amplitude
Height from rest position to crest/ trough.
79
Speed
s=wavelength x frequency (c= 3.00x10^8 m/s)
80
Liters in mole conversions
22.4 L
81
Particles in mole conversions
6.02 x 10^23 particles
82
Paula Exclusion Principle
- an orbital can only hold 2 electrons and they must have opposite spin
83
Aufbau Principle
electron fill lowest energy orbitals first
84
Hunds Rule
electrons fill equal energy orbitals one at a time only pairing when they have too ( e- repel e-)
