Matter

Anything that has mass and volume, such as the desk, air, and body, which chemistry studies.

2

Dalton's Atomic Theory

John Dalton's theory proposing that all elements are composed of indivisible atoms, with atoms of the same element being identical and compounds formed by the combination of atoms of different elements.

New cards
3

Plum Pudding Model

A model of the atom where electrons are embedded in a positively charged sphere, akin to raisins in a pudding, proposed by J.J. Thompson.

New cards
4

Nucleus

The dense central core of an atom discovered by Ernest Rutherford, containing protons and neutrons, with the rest of the atom being mostly empty space.

New cards
5

Atom

Smallest particle of an element

New cards
6

Gold Foil Experiment

Experiment by Rutherford showing a small, dense, positively charged nucleus and mostly empty space in an atom

New cards
7

Rutherford Model

Atom model with a small dense, positive nucleus and mostly empty space

Ground State

State where all electrons are in the lowest energy level

New cards
22

Excited State

State when an electron absorbs energy and moves to higher energy levels

New cards
23

Spectral Lines

Used to identify atoms and molecules
