Aristotle
said that all matter was continuous
Democritus
Proposed the idea of the atom
Dalton's Atomic Theory
All elements are made of atoms
All elements are made of atoms 2)All atoms of the same element are identical (wrong) 3)Atoms of different elements combine with other atoms in whole number ratios 4)Reactions occur when atoms are separated, joined, or rearranged (later on nuclear chemistry was also discovered
Thompson
Discovered the electron (using a cathode ray tube)
Discovered that electrons are negatively charged and they have mass
Made the "Plum Pudding Model"
Rutherford
Who performed the Gold foil experiment?
Gold foil experiment
Discovered the proton and the nucleus Conclusions
Atoms have a small positive center that contains positively charged protons
The nucleus makes up almost all of the atom's mass
Atoms are mostly empty space
Chadwick
Discovered the neutral neutron in the nucleus (has no charge, but has mass)
Bohr
He made the planetary model of the atom
Electron cloud model
A modern model of an atom
Electron Cloud Model
Using probability models, scientists can predict a cloud of where electrons are 90% of the time.
Proton
Positive charge (+1) Mass= 1 amu
Neutron
0 charge Mass= 1 amu
Electron
Negative charge (-1) Mass= 1/1837 amu
Atomic Mass Unit
amu stands for
Dalton
Who used circular symbols to represent the elements?
Berzelius
Suggested the use of letters to symbolize elements
Mendeleev
Organized the first periodic table
Atomic #
The number of protons (which is equal to the number of electrons)
Mass number
The sum of the number of protons and neutrons (round the atomic mass, which is only an average)
How to calculate Neutrons
M.A.N M-A=N M= Mass A= Atomic # N= Neutrons
Isotopes
An atom with the same number of protons, but a different # of neutrons (the exception to "all atoms of an element are identical")
Mendeleev
Noticed there was a pattern in chemical properties every 8 elements with increasing atomic mass
Moseley
Perfected the arrangement of the elements by placing them in order of atomic number instead of atomic mass.
Groups/ Families: Vertical Columns
Have similar chemical properties Have the same # of electrons in their outer shell
Periods
Horizontal rows of elements in the periodic table
Metals
All elements to the left of the zig- zag line on the PT Have some common properties
Solids at room temp. except for mercury
Shiny (Luster)
Good conductors (heat and electricity)
Ductile- can be rolled into wire
Malleable- can be pounded into sheets
Non- Metals
All elements to the right of the zig- zag line on the periodic table. Have common properties (gases at room temp., do not conduct heat or electricity)
Metalloids
Next to the zig- zag line Have properties of both metals and non- metals
Alkali Metals
Group 1 Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Fr Shiny, highly reactive in water Lose an electron to form a +1 charge
Alkaline Earth Metals
Group 2 Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Ra Shiny, highly reactive in water Lose 2 electrons to form a +2 charge
Transition Metals
Groups 3-12 on the Periodic Table Less active than metals in groups 1 and 2
Nonmetals and other elements
Dull (not shiny) Brittle and powdery (not malleable nor ductile) Poor conductors
Hydrogen
Makes up 90% of all the atoms in the universe Diatomic molecule (has 2 atoms of the same element)- H2 Highly reactive because it has 1 electron
Halogens
Group 17/7 Means "salt former" Have 7 electrons and want to gain one more to form a -1 charge *group 1 and 17 will often combine to form a neutral molecule
The Noble Gases
Group 18/8 Very stable and unreactive Have a full outer energy level (8 electrons)
The Boron Group
Group 13/3
The Carbon Group
Group 14/4
The Nitrogen Group
Group 15/5
The Oxygen Group
Group 16/6
