Term
Democritus
Definition

Developed the word

ATOMOS - Indivisible matter.  

No matter how many times you break up matter, it is still the same.

Term
Dalton
Definition
First to categorize elements.
Term

Dalton's Atomic Theory

Definition

1. Elements are composed of small particles called ATOMS

2. All atoms of a given element are identical. Same size, mass and chemical properties and different from the atoms of all other elements.

4.  Compounds are composed of atoms of more than one element.

5. A chemical reaction involves the separation, combination or rearrangement of atoms - not creation or distruction.

Term
Thompson
Definition

"Plum Pudding Version"

Atoms are positively charged pieces of matter with negative electrons floating in it.

Term
Radiation
Definition
Emission and transmission of energy thru space in the forms of waves.
Term
3 Types of rays emitted by radioactive elements
Definition

Alpha

Beta

Gamma

Term
Rutherford's principles
Definition

1. The nucleus is made up of Protons and Neutrons

2. Electrons take up the rest of the space

Term

Rutherfords Design

(Gold foil / particle emitter)

Definition

1.  Atom's positive charge is concentrated in the nucleus

2. Protons (+) have the opposite charge of electrons (-)

3.  The mass of P is 1840 x the mass of e-

X=Element

Term
Isotopes
Definition

Atoms of the same element with different number of neutrons in their nuclei.

(Found in nature)

Term
Molecule
Definition
A union of 2 or more atoms in a definite arrangement held together by a chemical bond.
Term
Ion
Definition
An atom or group of atoms that contain a charge (+ or -)
Term
Cation
Definition

A positively charge ion.

 

If a neutral atom loses 1 or more electrons, it becomes a cation.

Term
Anion
Definition

An ion with a negative charge.

 

If a neutral atom gains 1 or more electrons, it becomes an anion.

Term
Compound 
Definition
Distinct substances that contain 2 or more elements chemically combined in definite proportions by mass.
Term
Diatomic Molecule
Definition
Contains only 2 atoms
Term
Polyatomic Molecule
Definition
Contains more than 2 atoms in different proportions
Term
7 Diatomics Found in Nature
Definition

Br2  I2  N2  Cl2  H2  O2  F2

Term
Monatomic Ion
Definition

Contains only 1 atom


ie:  NA+  Cl-  CA2+  O2-

Term
Polyatonic Ion
Definition

Contains more than on atom

 

ie:  OH-  CN-  NH4+

Term
Empirical Formula
Definition

Simplest formula - shows the smalles whole # ration of the atoms in a compound.

 

ex:

O

CH2O

NH2

Term
Molecular Formula
Definition

Shows the exact # of atoms of each element present in one molecule of a compound.

 

ex:

O3

C6H12O6

N2H4
