25
two examples of an extensive property
mass and volume
26
measured value of this property is independent on how much matter is being considered
intensive property
27
example of an intensive property
density
28
hypotheses about the nature of matter according to Dalton's atomic theory
1. Elements are composed of extremely small particles called atoms. 2. All atoms of a given element are identical, having the same size, mass, and chemical properties. The atoms of one element are different from the atoms of all other elements. 3. Compounds are composed of atoms of more than one element. For any given compound, the atoms present are always in the same ratio. 4. A chemical reaction involves only the separation, combination, or rearrangement of atoms; it does not result in the creation or destruction of atoms.
29
law that states that different samples of the same compounds always contain its constituent elements in the same proportion by mass
Proust's law of definite proportions
30
law that states that if two elements can combine to form more than one compound, the masses of one element that combine with a fixed mass of the other element are in rations of small whole numbers
law of multiple proportions
31
law that states that matter cannot be created nor destroyed
law of conservation of mass
32
basic unit of an element that can enter into chemical combination
atom
33
the emission and transmission of energy through space in the form of waves
radiation
34
device used to investigate radiation; led to the discovery of electrons
cathode ray tube
35
atomic model that represents an atom as a uniform, positive sphere of matter in which electrons are embedded like raisins in a cake
"plum-pudding" model by Thompson
36
proposed the existence of protons and a nucleus where all the atom's positive charges are concentrated
Ernest Rutherford
37
How did Ernest Rutherford come up with the idea of the nucleus and the protons?
gold foil experiment
38
SI unit used to express atomic and molecular dimensions
picometer (pm)
39
1 pm = ? m
1 pm = 1 x 10^-12 m
40
electrically neutral particles with a mass slightly greater than protons
neutrons
41
discovered neutrons
James Chadwick
42

43
number of protons in the nucleus of each atom of an element
atomic number (Z)
44
True or False: In a negatively charged atom, the atomic number also represents the number of electrons in the atom.
False, in a neutral atom
45
True or False: The chemical identity of an atom can be determined from its atomic number.
True
46
total number of neutrons and protons in the nucleus of an atom
mass number (A) ***mass number = number of protons (Z) + number of neutrons
47
collective term for protons and neutrons in the nucleus
nucleons
48
True or False: All atomic nuclei contains both protons and neutrons.
False, hydrogen has one proton and no neutrons
49
True or False: Not all atoms of an element have the same mass.
True
50
atoms that have the same atomic number but different mass numbers
isotopes
