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 |
