Atom

The smallest form of a pure substance

Electron

Negatively charged particles

Atom

Smallest form of an element

Atoms form bonds to make

larger structures like molecules.

Law of Conservation of Mass

In a chemical reaction, matter is neither created nor destroyed

Law of Conservation of Mass

The total mass of the reactants must equal the total mass of the products

Law of Definite Proportions

All samples of a given compound, regardless of their source or how they were prepared, have the same proportions

Ratio (8:1)

Holds true for pure water

Law of Multiple Proportions

The same elements can combine in different ratios to form different compounds. The ratio of the masses of B that reacted with a fixed mass of A is always a small whole number

Law of Definite Proportions

In the same compound, ratio of one element to another always the same

Law of Multiple Proportions

Different compounds composed of the same elements

JJ Thomson experiment

Cathode rays moved from cathode to anode every time, always in a straight line, until he put charged panels on each side of tube, and they went towards the positive plates

JJ Thomson experiment

Proved that electrons exist

Millikan Oil Drop Experiment

Showed how negative electrons were because they were suspended in the middle of the container, between negative and positively charged plate.

Rutherford Experiment

Fired alpha rays at gold foil, some bounced back, proving that atoms must contain a lot of empty space, and mass and positive charge must be concentrated.

Rutherford Experiment

Led to the Nuclear Theory of the Atom

Protons

+1 charge, in nucleus

Neutrons

0 charge, in nucleus

Electrons

-1 charge, in nucleus

Element

Something which cannot be broken down chemically into anything else.

Orbital

Regions of space around the nucleus of the atom where electrons can be found.

Molecule

The smallest particle of something that still has the properties of that thing.

Atomic number

The number of protons in an element

Mass number

The total number of protons and neutrons an atom contains

Isotope

Atoms with the same number of protons but different number of neutrons

Atomic mass

The mass of an atom

Natural abundance

The percentage of each type of isotope that exists in nature

Mass on periodic table the

weighted average of all the isotopes of that element

Any natural sample of an element will have

a distribution of isotopes according to natural abundance

Ions

Atoms with a different number of protons and electrons

Positively charged ion

Cation

Negatively charged ion

Anion

Typically, ________ form cations

Metals

Typically, _____________ form anions

Non-metals

Periodic Law

When the elements are arranged in a certain order of increasing mass, certain sets of properties occur periodically.

Periodic table organized by

increasing atomic number

Periodic table organized into

Columns and rows

Elements in same column have

similar chemical properties

Property of a metal

Malleable

Property of a metal

Ductile

Columns called

Groups (or families)

Rows called

Periods

Alkaline earth metals

Alkaline earth metals

Reactive metals

Group 17

Halogens

Halogens

Very reactive non-metals

Group 18

Noble gases

Noble gases

Do not react

Mole

A specific number of something

Avogadro's Number

6.02 x 10^23
