Proton
A small, positively charged particle of matter located in the nucleus of all atoms
Electrons
A small, negatively charged particle of matter located in the shell of all atoms
Neutron
A small, neutrally charged particle of matter located in the nucleus of all atoms
John Dalton (1803)
Billiard Ball Model
- A tiny indivisible uniformly dense solid sphere
J.J Thomson (1904)
The Plum Pudding/Raisin Bun Model
-discovered electron
-Atom is a sphere of positive charge with negative embedded (electrons)
Ernest Rutherford (1911)
The Planetary Model
An atom model made of electrons orbiting a nucleus made of protons and neutrons
Gold Foil Experiment
Done by Rutherford
An experiment that concluded that an atom is mainly empty space with tiny positively charged core (nucleus)
Niels Bohr (1913)
the atom as a central nucleus containing protons and neutrons with the electrons in circular orbitals at specific distances from the nucleus
Erwin Schrödinger (1926)
The Electron Cloud/Quantum Model
-Most recent model
-An atomic model where the nucleus is surrounded by a cloud of electrons
The 4 families on the periodic table
Halogens
Noble gases
Alkali metals
Alkali earth metals
Halogens
Highly reactive
The 17th Group
Noble Gases
Inert (don’t react)
The 18th group
Alkali Metals
Soft, Shiny, Reactive
The 1st Group
Alkaline Earth Metals
Shiny, Mid-Reactive
The 2nd Group
Difference between metals and non metals
Metals: natural elements, hard, shiny, opaque and dense
Non Metals: chemical substances, soft, non-shiny, transparent and brittle
Conductivity
the measure of the ease at which an electric charge or heat can pass through a material.
Ionic Compounds
Ionic compounds are compounds consisting of ions.
Two-element compounds are usually ionic when one element is a metal and the other is a non-metal.
- High melting point
- Crystalline solids
- Ionic bonds
Eg. Fe2S3
iron (lll) sulfide
Molecular Compounds
Compounds that are composed of only non-metals or semi-metals with non-metals will display covalent bonding and will be classified as molecular compounds.
-Low Melting Points
-Tend to be gases or liquids
-Covalent bonds
Eg: dinitrogen trioxide
Methane
CH4
Glucose
C6H12O6
Sucrose
C12H22O11
Ammonium
NH3
Ozone
O3
Hydrogen Peroxide
H2O2
