Q

What is a suspension?

A

A type of heterogeneous mixture where the components are in different states such as mud

Mud or muddy water: where soil, clay, or silt particles are suspended in water.

Flour suspended in water.

Kimchi suspended on vinegar.

Chalk suspended in water.

Sand suspended in water.

Suspensions have larger particles than colloids so they separate eventually. Colloids stay mixed for longer because the particles are so tiny. Solutions on the other hand are homogeneous mixtures held together by charges and the idea of dissolving.

Q

What is a colloid?

A

A type of heterogeneous mixture, mix of two different states, but the particles cannot be easily separated since they are tiny in comparison to a suspension.

Colloids include fog and clouds (liquid particles in a gas), milk (solid particles in a liquid), and butter (solid particles in a solid). Other colloids are used industrially as catalysts. Unlike in a suspension, the particles in a colloid do not separate into two phases on standing. Keep in mind that milk will only separate into butter and liquid when it is spun so fast that the particles are forced to separate. Thus milk is a colloid because it does not turn into butter on its own.

Do not confuse a colloid with a solution. A solution is due to dissolving a solute in a solvent. A solution is a homogenous mixture that is held together with charges from ions.

A combination of science and magic
41
What did Robert Boyle discover?
By experimenting with volume and gas he concluded that gasses are made up of tiny particles
42
What did Antoine Lavoisier Discover?
The law of Conservation of mass
43
How did Antoine Lavoisier discover the Law of Conservation of Mass?
He measured masses of substances that reacted together and the substances created. He discovered that mass is neither produced nor lost in a chemical reaction
44
What did John Dalton discover?
The billiard ball model of Atoms. He imagined they were small spheres that could have different properties and varied in size color and mass Dalton’s Atomic Theory • All matter is made up of small particles called atoms. • Atoms cannot be created, destroyed, or divided into smaller particles. • All atoms of the same element are identical in mass and size, but they are different in mass and size from the atoms of other elements.
45
Describe John Dalton's atom
The Billiard Ball - All matter is made of small indivisible particles - All atoms of an element are identical in properties such as size and mass - Atoms of different elements have different properties - Atoms of different elements could combine in specific fixed ratios
46
What did J.J. Thomson add onto John Daltons Atom?
He added electrons In 1894, English physicist J. J. Thomson (1856–1940) used a new version of the gas discharge tube to obtain direct evidence that cathode rays were actually a stream of negatively charged particles. Thomson’s modified gas discharge tube used charged plates to bend cathode rays around a curved path. He knew that by measuring the radius of their path, he could calculate information about the mass and charge of the particles. The electrons in this model are like raisins in a plum pudding or raisin bun. Thus, Thomson’s theory has been called the “plum-pudding” or “raisin-bun” theory. This model (also called the Thomson atom) could not account for a phenomenon that Thomson himself was studying. Radioactive elements had only recently been isolated in pure form. They appeared to be constantly emitting fast-moving, positively charged particles. These particles are called alpha particles and have about 7200 times the mass of an electron. The Thomson atom contained nothing similar to alpha particles, and gave no clues about how they might be formed.
47
What did J.J. Thomson discover?
The electron
48
How did J.J. Thomson discover the electron?
He was experimenting with beams of particles produced in a vacuum. And they all turned out to be negative which means they all had something in common: the electrons
49
Who created the raisin bun model?
J.J. Thomson
50
Describe J.J. Thomsons model of the atom
The raisin bun model was a positive sphere with electrons embedded within it
51
What did Ernest Rutherford change about J.J. Thomson's atom model?
He said that the core of the atom was called a nucleus and it was positively charged and negative electrons were floating around the nucleus but not in a specific direction In 1909, New Zealand-born physicist Ernest Rutherford (1871–1937) designed an elegant experiment to probe the structure of atoms. As shown in Figure 1.12 on the next page, Rutherford’s apparatus directed a stream of alpha particles from a shielded sample of radioactive polonium toward a very thin gold foil. Collisions with gold atoms, or parts of gold atoms, in the foil were expected to cause the alpha particles to change direction slightly and hit different parts of a fluorescent screen placed near the foil. Rutherford observed this deflection. He observed something else, as well. A small number of alpha particles bounced back from the gold foil.
52
Who was the first scientist to use the term nucleus?
Ernest Rutherford A nucleus: a central region that is positively charged, extremely small, and yet contains almost all of the atom’s mass. Such a nucleus would be far too dense to be a cloud or shell of positive charge, as Thomson had suggested. Rather, Rutherford visualized the nucleus as containing tiny, relatively massive particles, each with a single positive charge — protons
53
What experiment did Rutherford use to determine his atom?
Gold foil experiment: He released a radioactive material that fired positively at gold and he assumed the they would pass right through but instead, they were deflected which meant they had a strong positive charge
54
Describe Ernest Rutherfords atom?
It had a dense positively charged nucleus and around it was mostly empty space with electrons floating around Hydrogen is the element with the least-massive atoms. Rutherford hypothesized that hydrogen would have the simplest possible atom: one proton and one electron. It seemed logical that helium, the next-lightest element, would have two protons and two electrons. That would make a helium atom twice as massive as a hydrogen atom. According to experimental evidence, however, helium atoms are four times more massive than hydrogen atoms. To explain these results, Rutherford hypothesized that there was a third subatomic particle in the atom. He hypothesized that this particle had the same mass as the proton, but no electrical charge. For this reason, he called the particle a neutron. A helium atom, then, would contain two protons and two neutrons (as well as two electrons), making it four times as massive as a hydrogen atom.
55
What did Neils Bohr discover about rutherfords atom?
He said that electrons surround the nucleus at different energy levels, therefore, they travel in orbits. According to physical theory, electrons moving around a nucleus should constantly emit energy in the form of light or radio waves. This process would cause the electrons to spiral into the nucleus, and the atom would collapse. Atoms, however, do not collapse. There is also no evidence that their electrons emit energy under normal conditions. In a gas discharge tube, however, gases do emit light, but only when electrical energy is supplied to them. As well, each element emits specific colours of light. These colours are different for each element. The colours of light correspond to specific wavelengths. This means that the colours have different energies. Rutherford’s atomic theory had no explanation for this behaviour.
56
What did Neils Bohr notice in order to conclude that electrons travel in orbits?
He discovered that different lights are emitted when electrons are from different energy levels - each element emits specific colours of light. These combinations of different colours are different for each element. The colours of light correspond to specific wavelengths. This means that the colours have different energies. For example, there are missing colours on one element compared to the next as seen when you split the light rays into a rainbow.
57
Who was the scientist that discovered how electrons flow in orbits?
Neils Bohr
58
What was Neils Bohr's description of atoms?
They had a positively charged nucleus and electrions orbited in specific energy levels Energies could be thought of as electron shells or energy levels. Electrons would be associated with specific energy levels. In addition, electrons could move only from one allowed energy level to another
59
Describe the Quantam Mechanics Atom
Electrons are thought of as a cloud of negative charges and occupy the whole space at the same time at different electricity levels
60
What is bronze made out of?
Copper and tin
61
How did they make bronze?
They smelted copper and tin together and the metal produced was much stronger
62
How did the Iron age begin?
They realized that Iron could be found in mineral compounds so they were able to smelt it out. Just like Copper
63
What is matter?
Anything with mass and volume Can be solid, liquid, or gas
64
What is nuclear notation?
