law of definite proportions
|
a chemical compound contains the same elements in exacly the same proportions by mass regardless of the size of the sample or the source of the compound
|
|
law of multiple proportions
|
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
|
|
law of combining volumes
|
equal volumes of gases at the same temperature and pressure contain equal numbers of molecules
|
|
law of conservation of mass
|
mass is neither created nor destroyed during ordinary chemical or physical reactions
|
|
Robert Milikan
|
Oil Drop experiment- discovered value of the charge on an electron
|
|
JJ Thompson
|
discovered presence of electrons w/ cathode ray tube (they are negatively charged), "plum pudding" atom model
|
|
Gold foil experiment (2 conclusions)
|
1. atom has nucleus: round, hard, positively charged
2. atom is mostly empty space |
|
James Chadwick
|
discovered neutrons: in nucleus, neutral charge, mass is like the proton, electrons have a tiny mass
|
|
John Dalton's atomic theory (the true statements)
|
1. atoms of different elements combine in simple whole number ratios to form chemical compounds
2. in chemical reactions, atoms are combined, separated or rearranged |
