Lecture 1- Atomic theory 1 Flashcards
pure sample
- contains particles, or units, of one specific atom of molecule
- FU=ionic
- can separate with chemical or nuclear change
Mixture
- contains particles, or units, of more than one specific atom or molecule
- each have their own properties
- can separate by undergoing physical change
Democritus
- all matter made up of very small, individual particles called atoms
Antoine Lavoisier
- father of chemistry
- law of conservation of matter
- gave oxygen its name and showed it was involved in combustion reactions
Aristotle
4 elements
- sided with him over Democritus
Joseph Proust
- law of definite proportions
Law of definite proportions
- joseph proust
- different pure samples of the same compound always contain the same proportions of each element by mass
- ex. water is always 88.8% oxygen and 11.2% hydrogen by mass
John Dalton
- law of multiple proportions
- atomic molecular theory
- if elements were made of tiny indivisible particles, then molecules of a particular compound would always be composed of equal numbers of each type of element
- thus, each element in a given compound would account for a consistent percentage of that compounds mass
Daltons 4 postulates
- Each element is composed of tiny particles called atoms
- All atoms of a given element are identical and all atoms of different elements are different (wrong because isotopes)
- Atoms are not crested or destroyed in chemical reactions. They are dissociated, combined, or recombined
- Compounds are formed when atoms of different elements combine with one another. A given compound always contains the same relative numbers and types of atoms
JJ Thompson
- used cathode ray tube to discover electrons
- stream of particles made a green glow and were attracted towards the positive side
- calculated charge to mass ratio
- plum pudding
Earnest Rutherford
- Gold foil experiment
- Beta particles toward positive= negative- much deflection
- Alpha towards negative= positive- more mass, didn’t reflect as much
- gamma= neutral- highspeed photon
Gold foil experiment
- Nucleus is a very small positively charged core containing protons and neutrons
- negatively charged electrons are extremely tine and occupy the vast majority of the atoms volume
sub atomic particles
Proton- +1, 1amu
Electron- -1, .0005amu
Neutron- 0, 1amu
Mass number
Equal to the number of protons plus the number of neutrons
atomic number
number of protons
Isotopes
- isotopes of an element have the same number of protons, but different number of neutrons
- exhibit identical chemical behavior
Atomic masses
- mass of one c-12 atom is exactly 12 amu
- all others measured on a scale relative to that
- average of each isotope on periodic table
Average atomic mass
- Atomic mass given to you on the periodic table is an average of all the isotopes of that element
- average mass of any large number of atoms of a given element is always the same for that given element
Mass Spectrometry
- Used to compare the masses of isotopes
- Atoms form a pure sample of an element are ionized and accelerated through a magnetic field
- Isotopes with smaller masses experience a greater degree of deflection
How mass spectrometry works
- isotope in a gas state
- hit with an exact ionizing energy
- measures mass to charge ratio
- accelerated through an electric field
- Deflected through a magnetic field
- recorder measures frequency and mass to charge ratio
mass number vs atomic mass
- Mass number= mass of each particle
- atomic number= average mass of all isotopes of the atom
average atomic mass how to find
(mass X abundance) + (mass X abundance)= average atomic mass
Formula weight
the basic unit in a network sold
- FU=ionic compounds
molecular weight
molecules that can exist independently
- molecular compounds
