Chemistry Flashcards
(116 cards)
Chemistry
study of matter (what matter is made of)
The things that make up stuff
the entities that comprise matter
Entities (biggest to smallest)
atoms (protons, electrons, neutrons), molecules, electrons
John Dalton
English schoolteacher- billiard ball (sphere) model
The Dalton Model
billiard ball/sphere- atom is indivisible
J.J Thomson
raisin bun model or plum pudding
Plum Pudding Model
electrons embedded into a positive fluid
Cathode ray tube
light cannot bend by itself it needs a charge (magnetic or electric)
- showed that the mass is 2000 times smaller than a hydrogen item
You can calculate what with strong magnets in a circle
charge and mass of particles
Ernest Rutherford
the gold foil experiment
The Gold Foil Experiment
expected the beam of particles to go right through the gold foil but instead some went different ways
Gold Foil Experiment proved that…
there was a small massive centre to the atom (nucleus) that caused them to deflect
Nuclear Model
Rutherford- small positive, densely packed nucleus (over 99% of the mass in the nucleus)
Planetary
Niels Bohr
Bohr Model found by the bright line spectra
Bohr Model
nucleus and electrons orbiting (excited state)
Excited State
add electricity and the electron jumps to the higher shell from the atom absorbing energy
Bright Line Spectra
when the electrons in the excited state drop back down a certain colour is emitted based on the energy level
Wave Mechanical Model
Erwin Schrodinger
Number of electrons in each shell
2, 8, 18, 32, 32, 18, 2
Bohr Model outer things
shells or orbits or energy levels
Wave Mechanical Model outer things
orbitals (Bohr orbits)
Periods
2 elements, 8, 8, 18, 18, 32, 32
18 groups
Alkali metals are
Extremely reactive- 1
Alkali metals
Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs
