Test 2 Flashcards
Discovered the atomos
- solid, homogenous, indivisible, indestructible
- properties of matter are due to shape and movement of atoms
- atomos cannot change
Democritus
Original founder no one believed
4 elements
Earth fire water air
Aristotle
Confirmed the existence of atoms and that they are indestructible cannot be divided created or destroyed
Dalton
Used cathode rays to discover electrons and then created the Plum Pudding Model
(Electrons floating around in positively charged matter)
Thomson
Oil drop experiment
Determined exact charge of electron: 1.6 * 10 ^-19 coulombs
Millikan
Gold Foil Experiment proved plum pudding wrong by discovering the nucleus “alpha particles”
Electrons orbit around nucleus
Rutherford
Found the proton
Goldstein
Found the neutrons
Chadwich
Model of the atom newer version of Rutherford using quantum mechanics with a positively charged nucleus orbited by negatively charged electrons
Bohr
a kind of radiation including visible light, radio waves, gamma rays, and X-rays, in which electric and magnetic fields vary simultaneously.
Electromagnetic radiation
two electrons occupying the same orbital in an atom or molecule.
Electron pair
the lowest energy state of an atom or other particle.
Ground state
The exhibition of both wavelike and particlelike properties by a single entity, as of both diffraction and linear propagation by light.
Wave-particle nature
a particle representing a quantum of light or other electromagnetic radiation. THIS carries energy proportional to the radiation frequency but has zero rest mass.
Photon
An atomic orbital is a mathematical function that describes the wave-like behavior of either one electron or a pair of electrons in an atom. This function can be used to calculate the probability of finding any electron of an atom in any specific region around the atom’s nucleus.
Electron cloud
the rate at which a vibration occurs that constitutes a wave, either in a material (as in sound waves), or in an electromagnetic field (as in radio waves and light), usually measured per second.
Frequency
cursive l - measure of orbital angular momentum, shape of the orbital
Orbital quantum number (sub shell)
n - describes the energy level
ℓ - describes the subshell
mℓ - describes the orbital of the subshell
ms - describes the spin
quantum numbers
n- distance of the electron from the nucleus as “n” increases the radius increases
Principle quantum number = shell = energy level
M- orbital around the 3 axes in space (orientation in space)
Magnetic quantum number
the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom determines the chemical properties of an element and its place in the periodic table.
Atomic number
the total number of protons and neutrons in a nucleus.
Mass number
unit of mass used to express atomic and molecular weights, equal to one-twelfth of the mass of an atom of carbon-12. It is equal to approximately 1.66 x 10-27 kg.
Amu = atomic mass unit
mass of an atom of a chemical element expressed in atomic mass units. It is approximately equivalent to the number of protons and neutrons in the atom (the mass number) or to the average number allowing for the relative abundances of different isotopes.
