science summer exam Flashcards
atoms and periodic table (39 cards)
whats a particle
tiny peices all matter are made from
whats an atom
smallest fundamental independant particle
size of atom
1 x 10 *-10m
daltons model
-cannot be broken
-cannot be created or destroyed
-atoms of an elemant are identical
whats the smallest particle
subatomic particle
location of nucleas
central part of an atom
location of electron
outer shell orbiting nucleas
location of proton
in nucleas
how to find atomic number
bottom number
how to find atomic mass
top number
how to find number of protons and electrons
bottom number
how to find total number of protons and neutrons
top number
why are there equal number of electrons and protons
as each negetivelly charged electron is attracted to a positivelly charged proton
alpha particle-
small positively charged particle made from to protons and two neutrons
term “ scattering” mean ?
when particles change direction or bounce back
isotopes
atoms with the same number protons but different number neutrons
chemical properties
reacts with acid and formula of oxides
physical properties
includes melting points and density
what are groups
columns
what are periods
rows
what is electric configuration
number of electrons in each shell
order of electrons in each shell allowed
2.8.8
what was rutherfords experiment
fired alpha particles at leaf and used phosphor green screen to see it and most particles scattered and didnt hit nucleas therefore it is small
what information about elemants did mendeleev use to group them
relative atomic mass and properties
