Chem 04 Atoms
Terms associated with development of Atomic Theory through Bohr
Term | Definition |
---|---|
matter is neither created nor destroyed during (chemical or physical) changes; mass of reactants = mass of products... this is the law of _?_ | conservation of mass |
elements that chemically combine do so in consistent proportions by mass... this is the law of _?_ | definite proportions |
gaseous elements that react do so in simple ratios by volume... this is the law of _?_ | combining gas volumes |
when two elements combine in more than one definite ratio by mass, fixing the mass of the first element reveals the masses of the second element form simple, whole # ratios... this is the law of _?_ | multiple proportions |
he proposed the first atomic theory (had 5 basic ideas or 'tenets') | Dalton |
smallest part of element that retains its properties; the building block of matter | atom |
made of only one kind of atom | element |
Dalton 1: matter is composed of tiny particles called _?_ | atoms |
Dalton 2: atoms cannot be _?_, _?_, or _?_ | created, destroyed, broken |
Dalton 3: atoms of the same element are _?_ | identical |
Dalton 4: atoms of different elements are _?_, specifically in their _?_ | different; weight |
Dalton 5: when atoms combine, they do so in simple _?_ | whole number ratios |
