Law of conservation of mass
_______________________________ states that mass is neither created nor destroyed.
Nuclear forces
The short-range proton-proton, proton-neutron, and neutron-neutron forces that hold the nuclear particles together are referred to as _______________________________.
Average atomic mass
The weighted average of the atomic masses of the naturally occurring isotopes of an element is the ___________________________.
Avogadro’s number
The number of particles in exactly one mole of a pure substance is _______________________.
Thomson
________________________________ is credited with the discovery of the electron from his cathode ray tube experiment.
Dalton
In 1808 _______________________ proposed a theory about atoms to explain the law of conservation of mass, law of definite proportions, and the law of multiple proportions.
Law of multiple proportions
The ____________________________________ states that if two or more different compounds are composed of the same two elements, then the ratio of the masses of the second element combined with a certain mass of the first element is always a ratio of small whole numbers.
Atomic number
The __________________________ of an element is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom.
Law of direct proportions
The ____________________________________ states that a chemical compound contains the same elements in exactly the same proportions of mass regardless of the size of the sample or source of the compound.
Isotope
A(n) _____________________ is an atom of the same element that has different number of neutrons.
Atom
A(n) __________________________ is the smallest particle of an element that retains the chemical properties of that element.
Molar mass
The mass of one mole of a pure substance is called the ___________________ of that substance.
Mass number
The ____________________________ is the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an isotope.
Mole
A(n) ____________________________ is the amount of a substance that contains as many particles as there are atoms in exactly 12 g of carbon-12.
Rutherford
The famous gold foil test that lead to the discovery of the nucleus was conducted by ______________________.
