Joule (j) =
SI Unit of energy (1 cal = 4.184 J)
Daltons Atomic theory states that:
- All matter is composed of indivisible atoms
- atoms of the same element are identical
- Atoms combine in whole number ratios
Law of conservation of mass states that:
Mass is neither created nor destroyed
Law of definite proportions states that
A compound always has the same ratio of elements
law of multiple proportions states that
When elements form compounds, their ratios are whole numbers
Atomic number (z)=?
Number of protons
Mass number (A) = ?
Protons + neutrons
Isotopes are
atoms of the same element with different neutrons
1 mole =
6.022 x 10^23 (Avogadros number)
Electromagnetic spectrum (lowest to highest energy)
Radio < microwave < infared < visible (red -> violet) < UV < X-rays < gamma
Longest wavelength =
Red (700 NM)
Shortest wavelength =
Violet (400 NM)
c = λν
(Speed of light = wavelength X frequency)
