atomic theory 1. All matter is composed of indivisible and indestructible atoms which are tiny, hard spheres
atomic theory 2. All atoms of any one element are identical; the atoms of different elements are different and have different properties (including masses).

Sir Joseph John Thomson (1856-1940) He measured the charge-to-mass ratio of the particles in the cathode ray and found to be the same whatever metal was used as cathode or whatever gas was present in the tube
J.J Thomson used a cathode ray tube to deduce the presence of a negatively charged particle
cathode ray tube pass electricity through a gas that is contained at a very low pressure
Sir William Crookes (1832-1919) He discovered a previously unknown element with a bright green emission line in its spectrum and named the element thallium, from the Greek thallos, a green shoot. Crookes also identified the first known sample of helium.
Robert Andrews Millikan (1868-1953) His experiments resulted in the measurement of the charge of the electron end the calculation of its mass.
Eugene Goldstein (1850-1930) He found an evidence of the existence ,of protons when he performed experiments using tubes containing different gases at very low pressures an a tube with a perforated cathode.
Sir James Chadwick (1891-1974) He was an English physicist and Nobel laureate who is best known for discovering the neutron.
fermions and bosons fundamental particles are classified into two main groups
Fermions particles of matter
bosons particles that transmit forces
Sir Ernest Rutherford (1871-1937) He was a nuclear physicist who became known as the "father" of nuclear physics. He pioneered the orbital theory of the atom through his discovery of Rutherford scattering off the nucleus with his gold foil experiment.
nucleus it is small, dense, and positively charged
Neils Bohr (1885-1962) A Danish physicist who assumed that the prevailing laws of physics at that time were not sufficient to describe the atom
Marie Curie (1867-1934) She was a Polish-French physicist and chemist and a pioneer in the field of radioactivity
Pierre Curie (1859-1906) He was a French physicist, a pioneer in crystallography, magnetism, piezoelectricity and radioactivity
Henri Becquerel (1852-1908) He was a French physicist, Nobel laureate, and one of the discoverers of radioactivity

stoichiometry relationship between mass, number of moles and number of particles (Mole-Mass Relationship)
mole ratio the ratio of one material in a chemical equation to another material in the same equation

Change-cross technique Technique used for writing chemical formulas
based on the element How are monoatomic ions named?
naming a monoatomic cation When naming, unchanged. If an element can form two ions of different charges, the name, which is usually derived from its Latin name, is modified by the suffix -ic for the ion with the higher charge, and -ous for that with the lower charge.
naming a monoatomic anion the name of the element is modified by the suffix -ide.
Naming Polyatomic Ions containing oxygen atoms are named based on the root word of the central (or non-oxygen) atom and the suffix -ate (more oxygen atoms) and -ite (less oxygen atom)
Acetate ion C_2 H_3
oxalate ion C_2O_4^2
chemical formula can represent the composition of a molecule or an ion. consists of symbols of the atoms making up the molecule ex: O_2 - Oxygen Gas
Molecular formula gives the composition of the molecule, in terms of the actual number of atoms present ex: C6H12O6
Empirical Formula gives the composition of the molecule, in terms of the smallest ratio of the number of atoms present. ex: CH2O
Binary compounds compounds composed of two elements
Ionic compounds made up of a cation and an anion. They are named by giving the name of the cation first, followed by the name of the anion. ex: NaI - sodium iodide
Molecular compounds made up of two non-metals. They are named by giving the name of the first nonmetal and then that of the second nonmetal modified by the ending -ide. They are usually gases ex: HCl - hydrogen chloride
Ternary compounds made up of three elements. The naming follows the same rule as that of the binary ionic compound: the name of the cation is given first, followed by the name of the anion. ex : NaNO3 - sodium nitrate
Acids yield hydrogen ions in aqueous solutions
Binary acids composed of hydrogen and another element, usually a nonmetal.
Ternary acids made up of hydrogen and an anion, usually containing oxygen. Name = (root name of element) -ic (or -ous) + acid ex: HNO3 - nitric acid
formula to compound the total positive charges of the cations should be equal to the total of the negative charges of the anion. The net charge should be zero. ex: Silver nitrate - AgNO3
