1

Atoms

smallest unit of matter; building block of the universe

New cards
2

atomic structure

the atom consists of three component parts: Protons, Electrons, and Neutrons

New cards
3

Who discovered the electron?

JJ Thomson in 1897

New cards
4

Who discovered the proton?

Eugen Goldstein in 1886 (Rutherford 1917)

New cards
5

Who discovered the neutron?

James Chadwick in 1932

New cards
6

Who discovered the nucleus?

Ernest Rutherford in 1911

New cards
7

Democritus (400 BC)

greek philosopher that said all matter is made of tiny particles called "atomos" or atoms

New cards
8

John Dalton's Atomic Model

(billboard) all matter is composed of atoms; atoms cannot be divided

New cards
9

John Dalton developed his atomic structure

because of his nitric oxide experiment

New cards
10

JJ Thomson developed his atomic structure

by using the cathode ray tube

New cards
11

J.J. Thomson's Atomic Model

(plum pudding) atoms is made up of electrons floating in protons

New cards
12

Ernest Rutherford's Atomic Model

(nuclear) atoms have nucleus surrounded by electrons; he discovered nucleus

New cards
13

Ernest Rutherford developed his atomic structure

through gold foil experiment

New cards
14

Neil Bohr's Atomic Model

(planetary) electrons move in fixed orbit (s

New cards
15

Neil Bohr developed his atomic structure

through atomic spectra

New cards
16

Erwin Schrodinger's Atomic Model

(quantum model) this doesn't accurately tell us where an electron is

New cards
17

Werner Heisenberg and the uncertainty principle

posited the "uncertainty principle" no human could ever determine the path of an electron because observing the electron with light affected the location: we couldn't accurately predict anything physical.

New cards
18

principal quantum number

indicated the size of an electron

New cards
19

azimuthal quantum number

tells us the shapes of the electron orbitals (sphere

New cards
20

magnetic quantum number

indicates the orientation of an orbital around the nucleus (up or down)

New cards
21

spin quantum number

indicate the two fundamental spin states of an electron in an orbital (clockwise/counterclockwise)

New cards
22

quantum numbers

it gives us the idea how electrons behave; used to completely describe all the attributes of a given electron belonging to an atom

New cards
23

electron configuration

representation of the arrangement of the electrons distributed among the orbital shells and subshells

New cards
24

s, p, d, f orbitals

s shell: can hold 2 electrons per energy level \n \n p shell: can hold 6 electrons per energy level \n \n d shell: can hold 10 electrons per energy level \n \n f shell: can hold 14 electrons

New cards
25

electron configuration notation

numbers of electrons are represented by adding a superscript to the sublevel designation

1s 2s 2p 3s 3p 4s 3d 4p 5s 4d 5p 6s 4f 5d 6p 7s 5f 6d 7p

<p>numbers of electrons are represented by adding a superscript to the sublevel designation</p><p></p><p>1s 2s 2p 3s 3p 4s 3d 4p 5s 4d 5p 6s 4f 5d 6p 7s 5f 6d 7p</p>
New cards
26

3 principles of electron configuration

Aufbau Principle; Pauli Exclusion; Hunds rule

New cards
27

Anfbau principle

electrons fill lower-energy atomic orbitals before filling higher-energy ones. (aufbau - means building up)

<p>electrons fill lower-energy atomic orbitals before filling higher-energy ones. (aufbau - means building up)</p>
New cards
28

Pauli Exclusion Principle

states that a maximum of two electrons can occupy a single atomic orbital but only if the electrons have opposite spins

<p>states that a maximum of two electrons can occupy a single atomic orbital but only if the electrons have opposite spins</p>
New cards
29

Hund's Rule

every orbital in a sublevel is singly occupied before any orbital is doubly occupied

<p>every orbital in a sublevel is singly occupied before any orbital is doubly occupied</p>
New cards
30

Periodic Table

tabular display of the chemical elements; it is arranged in increasing atomic number

New cards
31

Ion

a charged atom

New cards
32

atomic number and mass

atomic number - protons; atomic mass - protons and electrons

<p>atomic number - protons; atomic mass - protons and electrons</p>
New cards
33

series/periods

horizontal arrangement; rows (1-7)

New cards
34

family/group

vertical arrangement; column (1-18)

New cards
35

1A - 8A

representative elements (s and p elements)

New cards
36

1B - 8B

transition elements (d elements)

New cards
37

inner transition elements

latanites (57 - 71) and actinites (89 - 103)

New cards
38

alkali metals

group 1A

New cards
39

alkali earth metals

group 2A

New cards
40

halogens

group 7A

New cards
41

noble gases

group 8A

New cards
42

valence electrons

electrons on the outermost shell

New cards
43

electronegativity

tendency of an atom to attract electrons; non-metals have higher electronegativity

New cards
44

ionization energy

the amount of energy needed to remove an electron from an atom; non-metals have higher ionization energy

New cards
45

octet rule

atoms tends to prefer to have 8 electrons to be stable; non-metals have higher tendency (we do not consider the f and d electrons)

New cards
46

lewis dot symbol

element surrounded by dots that represent its valence electrons. the number of dots in the Lewis dot symbol is the same as the number of valence electrons, which is the same as the last digit of the element's group number in the periodic table.

<p>element surrounded by dots that represent its valence electrons. the number of dots in the Lewis dot symbol is the same as the number of valence electrons, which is the same as the last digit of the element&apos;s group number in the periodic table.</p>
