atom
The smallest unit of an element that maintains the properties of the element
electron
a subatomic particle that has a negative charge
nucleus
an atom's central region which is made up of proton's and neutrons
Who first proposed that the atom had a nucleus?
Rutherford's model
electron cloud
a region around the nucleus of an atom in which electrons are likely to be found
Who first proposed that electrons lived in electron clouds?
Schroedinger and Heisenberg
proton
a subatomic particle that has a positive charge and is found in the nucleus of an atom
atomic mass unit
a unit of mass that describes the mass of an atom or molecule
neutron
a subatomic particle that has no charge and is found in the nucleus of an atom
Who discovered the neutron?
Chadwick
atomic number
the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom; the atomic number is the same for all atoms of an element
isotope
an atom that has the same number of protons as other atoms of the same element, but has a different number of neutrons
mass number
the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom
atomic mass
the weighted average of the masses of all naturally occurring isotopes of that element
[Recording System - Estoppel by deed]

What is estoppel by deed?

80
A person who sells a property, without actually owning it first, but who later acquires the property -- the original sale is treated as being valid

BUT, a person who later is a BFP of the property acquires on date of record (in record-notice jur)
the periodic law
the chemical and physical properties of elements follow a repeating pattern based on the atomic number
period
a horizontal row of elements in the period table; chemical and physical properties follow a repeating pattern as you move across the row
group
a vertical column of elements on the periodic table; elements in a group share chemical properties; also called a family
Alkali Metals
an element in group one of the period table
alkaline earth metals
an element in group two of the periodic table;
halogen
elements in group 17 of the periodic table; they combine with most metals to form salts
noble gas
one of the elements of group 18 of the periodic table; noble gasses are unreactive
ion
a charged particle that has a different number of electrons than protons
DAD Tries to Rob Big Schools and Houses Constantly
Democritus, Aristotle, Dalton, Thomson, Rutherford, Bohr, Schroedinger & Heisenberg; Chadwick
Democritis
Atoms not divisible
Aristotle
Disagreed with Democritus; believed elements made up of earth air fire and water
Dalton
Did experiments that led to acceptance of atoms; Billiard Ball model; created the laws
Thomson
Plum Pudding Model; thought electrons were spread through atom evenly
Rutherford
Gold foil experiments; discovered the nucleus
Bohr
Electrons move on paths, like a ladder, but not between paths. He was wrong
Schroedinger & Heisenberg
electron clouds around the nucleus where electrons are likely to be found
Chadwick
Discovered neutrons
How did Mosely improve the periodic table?
He arranged it in order of increasing atomic number.
What are the four forces in an atom?
strong force-
weak force-
gravitational force;
electromagnetic force
What is strong force?
keeps protons together in the nucleus
What is gravitational force?
Pulls objects toward one another; the gravitational force within atoms is very small
What is weak force?
changes neutrons in certain unstable atoms into protons or electrons
What is electromagnetic force?
the force which causes particles with the same charge to repel each other and opposite charges to attract each other
What is the definition of periodic?
something that happens at regular intervals and is repeating
what information can the periodic table tell you?
It tells you the elements, chemical symbols, atomic number, atomic mass, type of element, physical state at room temperature.
What is a period on the periodic table?
A row of an element
What is a group on the periodic table?
a column of an element; also called a family
What is the relationship between elements in a group (the same column)?
They often have similar physical and chemical properties
How can you tell the number of electrons in the outer shell of an element?
the group number
Which group numbers have an uncertain number of electrons?
group 3 through 12
How do you tell the number of electrons in groups 13 through 18?
by the last digit of the group number
What is the exception to the group number rule?
Helium -- it has only two electrons in the outer shell even though it's in row 18
What element is in a group by itself and why?
Hydrogen -- because it doesn't match any of the properties of the other group.
What are the three categories on the periodic table and where are they located?
Metals - left of zig zag except H

Metalloids -- touching zig zag not Al

Non Metals -- right of zigzag except H
Alkali Metals
Group 1, 1 electron in outer shell
very soft, react violently with water
so reactive always combined with other elements; stored in oil
Alkaline Earth Metals
Group 2, 2 electrons in outer shell
very reactive but less than group one
Transition Metals
Group 3 to 12
one or two electrons in outershell
Lanthanides and Actinides
Bottom of chart
lanthanides shiny/reactive
actinides/radioactive
Which elements on the periodic table are manmade? What is their group name?
elements 95 to 103
actinides
Boron Group
Group 13: 3 electrons in outer shell
they are fairly reactive/solids
What is the most common element in the Boron Group ?
aluminum
The Carbon Group
Group 14: 4 electrons in outer shell
reactivity depends on what it's mixed with/solids
nitrogen group
group 15-5 outer electrons
solid except for nitrogen, a gas
reactivity
oxygen group
group 16 - 6 outer electrons
oxygen gas, others solids
reactive
halogens
group 17 - 7 outer electrons
very reactive; bonds with elements in group one to form salt, never found uncombined in nature
What two groups like to bond? And what do they form?
Group 1 and Group 17 to form salts
Noble gases
Group 18 - 8 outer electrons
non reactive and gases at room temperature
Why are noble gases unreactive?
Because they have a full set of electrons; 8 is stable
What is the most abundant element in the universe?
Hydrogen
What is the name of the Dalton model?
The billiard ball model
What is the name of the Thomson model?
Plum pudding model
What is the name of the Rutherford model?
The solar system model
What is the name of the Schroedinger and Hesienberg model?
The electron cloud model
What did Chadwick add to the electron cloud model?
neutrons!
