Law of Conservation (of matter)
mass (or matter) is not created or destroyed in chemical reactions.The total mass of all products equals the total mass of all reactants
Law of Constant Composition (Law of Definite
Proportions)
compounds consist of elements combined
in definite proportions by mass.
Points which Dalton’s Atomic Theory were wrong
1) Atoms can be divided - they consist of smaller particles
called protons, neutrons, and electrons (subatomic
particles).
2) Atoms of the same element can have different masses
(isotopes).
What are the 3 subatomic particles and their charges
Protons-Positive(+)
Neutrons-Neutral
Electrons-Negative(-)
What was the first subatomic particle discovered?
The Electron
Proton Mass
1.6726 x 10-24 g or 1.007 amu
Neutron Mass
1.6749 x 10-24 g or 1.008 amu
Electron Mass
9.109 x 10-28 g or 0.000549 amu
Equal to the number of Protons in the nucleus
Electrons
Like charges ___ and Unlike charges ___
Repel;Attract
1 amu=
1.6605387 x 10-24 g
An atom is electrically _____
Neutral: Protons=electrons
Mass Number
Protons+Neutrons= Mass Number
If an atom (or isotope) of oxygen contains 8
protons, 10 neutrons, and 8 electrons, what is its
1) atomic number, 2) net charge, 3) mass number?
1) 8 (Oxygen) (O)
2) Neutral
3) 18
Atoms of the same element that have different mass numbers
Isotopes
How many protons are in any zinc atom?
30
How many neutrons are in a zinc atom with a
mass number of 65?
35
What is the mass number of a different zinc
isotope that has 37 neutrons in its nucleus?
67
In an atomic or isotopic symbol. the mass number is the ___ and the atomic number is the ____
superscript;subscript
Ions are formed when
- form when atoms lose or gain electrons.
- have unequal numbers of protons and electrons.
- have a net electrical charge.
Groups of bonded atoms with a net
charge are called
polyatomic ions
Ions derived from single atoms are called
Monatomic Ions
Positive Ions
Cations
Negative Ions
Anions
