Honors Chemistry U1

Unit 1 : Atomic History, Wavelength/Frequency, Electron Config., Atomic Mass

TermDefinition
Who was the first person to come up with the idea that all matter is made up of invisible particles called atoms? Democritus
Who destroyed the idea that we were all made of atoms? Aristotle
Who was doing science, had great technology, in the middle ages? Arabs
Who was keeping scientific ideas and experiments from being done during the middle ages? Church
Who was the first person to prepare laughing gas and invent soda pop? Joseph Priestly
Who actually discovered oxygen, but didn't realize it at first? Joseph Priestly
Who proved the theory of of phlogiston wrong? Antoine Lavoisier
Who prove that substance actually burned oxygen and did not give off phlogiston, by weighing materials before and after they burned. Antoine Lavoisier
What law did Lavoisier prove, that states matter can't be created or destroyed? Law of Conservation of Mass
Who came up with the Law of Definite Composition? John Dalton
Who stated that elements come together in multiple ratios? Joseph Proust
What schoolteacher came up with the Atomic Theory of Matter? John Dalton
The Atomic Theory of Matter states that atoms of different elements are going to look... Different
What was the first part of the atom to be discovered? Electron
What is the only part of the atom that can be easily removed or added from an atom? Electron
Who first discovered that matter could be charged positive or negative? Ben Franklin
What is the name of the device that William Crookes designed in 1879? Cathode Tube
When J.J. Thompson did his experiment, he saw that the beam in the tube bent towards which charged plate? Positive
Who figures out the exact charge and mass of an electron? Robert Millikan
What was the name of the experiment that was done to figure out the exact charge and mass of an electron? Oil-drop
Who discovered positive particles (protons) in atoms? Eugen Goldstein
Who took new information and put it together by making a new model of the atom? J.J. Thompson
What was the new model of the atom called, where protons and electrons were evenly scattered about? Plum pudding
Who is the first person to coin the term "radioactivity" or "radiation", when he noticed that a chunk of Uranium was causing photographic paper to be developed? Henri Becquerel
Who discovered the three basic types of radiation? William Roentgen
What charge of radiation has a +2 charge, a mass of 4. and is attracted to a negative plate? Positive
What charge of radiation is made up of electrons and is attracted to a positive plate? Negative
What radiation is made of pure energy and has on charge? Gamma
Which particle in the nucleus of the atom that uses strong nuclear force to keep the repulsive force of the protons from ejecting the protons out of the nucleus? Neutron
If an atom has more than ----- protons, the strong nuclear force is not strong enough to keep the protons in the nucleus, and the atom gives off radiation in order to attempt to redcue the size of the nucleus. 82
Who shot positive particles at gold atoms and watched some of them bounce back? Rutherford
What was discovered in the atom that the positive particles were bouncing off of? Nucleus
WHat was the new model of the atom called, where all of the protons were in the center, and the electrons were on the outside? Rutherford's "Nuclear"
Most of the atom is actually just...? Empty space
Who figured out that atoms can give off colored light, when they are hit with electricity? Neils Bohr
Bohr theorized that the electron was able to move to more than one --- ----- in the atom. Energy levels
What was the name of the new model that Bohr came up with, that said electrons travel in different energy levels around the nucleus? Planetary
The --- ----- is where an electron is located with the lowest energy possible. Ground state
The --- ----- is an unstable location, and the electron falls from this sate and releases energy as it falls back to the ground state. Excited state
What level must an electron drop to to release infared light, in hydrogen? 3
What level must an electron drop to to release UV light, in hydrogen? 1
What level must an electron drop to to release visible light, in hydrogen? 2
Two types of light spectra : Continuous and Line
How many electrons can the first energy level hold? 2
How many electrons can the second energy level hold? 8
How many electrons can the third energy level hold? 18
How many electrons can the fourth energy level hold? 32
What three things can we measure about light? Frequency, wavelength, and speed
A hertz (Hz) (the unit of frequency) is also equal to...? Waves/second
What is the range of visible light (nm)? 400 nm. - 800 nm.
What type of rays have small wavelengths, high frequency, and high energy? Gamma rays
What type of rays have large wavelengths, low frequency, and low energy? Radio rays
Who stated substances do not absorb energy gradually, but instead absorb energy in definite amounts, or quanta? Max Planck
What experiment proved Planck's theory? Photoelectric effect
Who boldly proposed that light was made of small particles of matter called photons? Albert Einstein
Who proposed that matter moves in waves? Louis DeBroglie
Who said it was impossible to know the exact location of an electron because observing it with light could cause it to move to an unknown location? Werner Heisenburg
What is the model of the atom where we can't be sure where electrons are located, so we put them into a cloud model that predicts where they are 90% of the time? Mechanical model or Electron cloud model
Who predicted where the electron would be moving within each energy level? Erwin Schronider
What did Schrodinger call these specific areas that electrons move in within a particular energy level? Sublevels
What did Schrodinger call the specific shapes that electrons would have as they move in a sublevel? Orbitals
How many electrons can a "s" sublevel hold total? 2
How many electrons can a "p" sublevel hold total? 6
How many electrons can a "d" sublevel hold total? 10
How many electrons can a "f" sublevel hold total? 14
What rule says that an orbital can't hold more than 2 electrons total because they like to repel each other? Pauli Exclusion Principle
What do we call the shorthand that allows us to write where electrons are quickly and easily? Electron Configuartions
What rule tells us that electrons like to fill the lowest energy levels first, so they can be close to the nucleus? Aufbau Principal
Whose rule says that electrons will go to empty orbitals first, so they don't have to repel each other? Hund's rule
Elements with unpaired electrons are magnetic, which is referred to sing the term...? Paramagnetic
Elements with no unpaired electrons are not magnetic, which is referred to using the term...? Diamagnetic
The electron is located around the nucleus and has a charge of...? -1
The neutron, which is also located in the nucleus, has a charge of...? 0
Pure elemental substances have not reacted, and therefore have...? No charge
What are Isotopes? Atoms of the same element that weigh different amounts
The charge of an ion can be calculated by taking the number of protons and subtracting the number of...? Electrons

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
