Definition
positively charged nuclear particle.
mass= 1
Term
Neutron
Definition
a neutrl nuclear particle.
mass= 1
charge= 0
Term
Electrons
Definition

Term
Nucleons
Definition
protons and electrons in the atoms nucleus
Term
Electrons location?
Definition
electrons are found in clouds (orbitals) around and atoms nucleus.
Term
mass =
Definition
the number of protons plus the number of neutrons
Term
atomic number=
Definition
the number protons in anatoms nucleus
Term
isotopes
Definition
atoms with equal numbers of protons, but differ the the number of neutrons
Term
number of neutrons =
Definition
Mass number-atomic number
Term
Anions
Definition
negative ions and form when a neutral atom gains electrons. They are larger then the parent atom.
Term
Ernest Rutherford's Experiment
[image]
Definition
showed that the atom is mostly empty space with a small, dense, positively charged nucleus.
Term
J.J. Thompson
[image]
Definition
discovered the electron and developed the plum pudding model of the atom with positive and negative charges spread throughout entire atom
Term
Creator of the model of the atom that was uniform throughout?
Definition
Dalton
Term
Bohr Model
Definition
placed electrons in planetary-like orbits around the nucleus of the atom
Term
Wave- Mechanical Model
Definition
the current model of the atom with electrons in "clouds" (orbitals) around the nuclueus
Term
STP
Definition
standard Temperature Pressure
(273 Kelvin and 1 atm)
Term
How do electrons emit energy as light?
Definition
Electrons emit energy as light when they jump from higher energy levels back down to lower (ground state) energy levels. Bright line spectra are produced.
Term
Element
Definition
pure substance made up of only one kind of atom and can not be broken down
Term
binary compund
Definition
substance made up of only two kinds of atoms (Ex: NH3, H2O, CO2)
Term
Diatomic Molecules
Definition
elements that form two atom molecules in their natural form at STP. Mr. BrINClHOF) Br2, I2,N2,Cl2, H2, O2, F2

Definition
P1/T1=P2/T2
Term
Combined Gas Law
Definition
P1*V1/T1 = P2*V2/T2
Term
Dalton's Law of Partial Pressure
Definition
P1 + P2 + P3 +P4 = 1 atm
Term

mass number 14C
atomic number 6
Term
electron configuration
Definition
The distribution of electrons in an atom
Electron configurations are written in the bottom center of an element’s box on the
periodic table in your reference tables.
