Question | Answer |
---|---|
Who came up with the idea of the atom? | Democritus and Leucippus |
What is an atom? | Smallest particle of an element |
What did Dalton discover in 1803? | 1) all atoms in an element are the same 2) the atoms of one element are different from the atoms in all other elements |
What model did JJ Thomson create? | The Plum Pudding model |
What is in the Plum Pudding model? | a ball of positive charge (dough), with negatively charged electrons (currants) mixed in with the 'dough'. |
What is in the atom? | a small, positively-charged nucleus surrounded by orbiting negatively-charged electrons. |
What do we call a small, negatively charged particle that orbits an atom's nucleus? | Electron |
Where is most of the mass of an atom found? | The nucleus |
What is the overall charge of the nucleus of an atom? | Positive |
Sub-atomic particles | protons neutrons electrons |
Protons Relative charge and Mass | +1, 1 unit |
Neutrons Relative charge and Mass | 0, 1 unit |
Electrons Relative charge and Mass | -1, 1/2000 OR 0.0005 |
What sub-atomic particle is arranged at different distances from the nucleus? | electrons |
Who discovered the nucleus? | Rutherford |
What is a neutron? | Sub-atomic particles found in the nucleus that have no net charge. |
What is an electron? | Negatively charged sub-atomic particles that orbit the nucleus. |
What are Protons? | Positively charged sub-atomic particles found in the nucleus. |
What are electron shells? | Electrons are arranged in shells around a nucleus. Each shell has a different energy level. |
What happens when atoms absorb electromagnetic radiation? | its electron arrangements can change. |
Where is most of the atom's mass found? | An atom's mass is concentrated in the atom's nucleus |
What did Bohr discover? | Neils Bohr discovered that electrons orbit (fly around) the nucleus at fixed distance - electron shells |
Who discovered neutrons in 1932? | James Chadwick discovered that some particles in the nucleus have no charge at all. |
What can be emitted by atoms to change the electron arrangement in an atom? | Electromagnetic Radiation |
What surrounds the nucleus? | Electon shells |
What happened in the gold foil experiment? | Most alpha particles went through, some deflected and very few bounced back |
What conclusions were drawn from the alpha scattering experiment? | most went through- atom mostly empty space large deflections- positively charged mass was repelling alpha particles |
What happens when atoms absorb electromagnetic radiation? | Electrons move to a higher energy level further away from the nucleus |
What is the formula for density? | ρ=m/V |
What is the force that keeps an object floating? | Upthurst |
When does an object float? | When the density of an object is lower than the density of the fluid |
What is the law of displacement? | an object completely submerged in a fluid (like water) will replace an amount of fluid equal to its own volume. |
What are the units of density? | g/cm3 OR kg/m3 |
What is mass? | of how much matter there is in an object |
What is volume? | Volume is the evaluation of how much 3-dimensional space is occupied by the object. |
What are the three states of matter? | Solid, Liquid and Gas |
Properties of Gas | Gases are the least dense state of matter. The particles are free to move with negligible (tiny) forces between particles. |
Properties of Solids | Solids are the most dense state of matter. The particles are packed tightly together. |
Properties of Liquids | Liquids are less dense than solids but more dense than gases. The particles in liquids can move around each other. |
What do you use to find mass? | Balance |
How do you find volume? | a) cross section area x height b) law of displacement eureka can |
What change is a change of state? | Physical change |
What is another term for melting point? | Fusion Temperature |
What happens to the mass when an object changes state? | its mass is conserved (stays the same) |
Are physical changes reversible? | yes |
Are chemical changes reversible? | no |
changes of state mass is ______ ___________ ________ processes | conserved reverisble physical |
Solids melt when: | its at its melting temperature solid particles can overcome the forces between them |
What is specific latent heat? | The amount of energy needed to change the state of something without a change in temperature |
List all the changes in state | melting, boiling, sublimation, condensing, freezing, deposition |
Describe the particle model of a liqud | move around eachother, quicker paced compared to a solid |
Describe the particle model of a solid | all touching, vibrate in fixed positions |
What is specific heat capacity? | energy needed to increase the temperature by 1 degrees |
What is density? | the mass of a given volume of a substance |
Formula of specific latent heat? | E= mL energy(J)= M(kg) L (specific latent heat) |
Formula for specific heat capacity? | E= mC△T |
