Stack #4581045

QuestionAnswer
Matter – is anything that has mass and takes up space.
Matter is anything that you can see, taste, smell and touch.
Democurtus
Greek philosopher who thought the universe was made up of empty space and tiny bits of stuff.
These tiny bits of stuff he thought could no longer be into smaller pieces
So he called them atoms
Atoms means “ cannot be divided”
Lavoisier
French chemist who showed how matter changes
Wood and fire
Iron and rust
Law of conservation of matter
States that matter is not made or destroyed – it only changes form.
Dalton
Believed that matter was made up of atoms that were too small to see
Each type of matter was made up of the same type of atom
Gold is gold
Iron is iron
JJ Tohmson
Used a cathode ray tube
Sealed on both ends with metal plates at each end
Anode ( positive ), cathode ( negative )
Rays would travel from the cathode to the anode which he could bend with a magnet.
This showed him that the rays were made of particles that have mass and a charge
Thus resulting in the finding of the electron
Electron – negatively charged particles.
Ernest Rutherford
Used gold foil and bombarded it with alpha particles.
Most of the positively charged alpha particles went through
But some shot back at the device
He concluded that sense most passed through that the atoms were made up of empty space
But sense some particles bounced back he thought the gold atoms contained some positively charged particles
He called this the nucleus
Nucleus- the positively charged central part of the atom
He called the positively charged particles in the nucleus protons
Protons - positive charged particles.
Discovering the neutron
Once the alpha particles had hit the gold foil they seemed to be heavier
James Chadwick
He said the particles are not heavier themselves
But the atoms had given off new particles
He said that these particles were not affected by and electrical field and had no charge he called them neutrons
Neutron – uncharged particles
Niels Bohr
Found that electrons are arranged in energy levels
The lowest energy levels are closest to the nucleus and can only hold two electrons
Highest energy levels are further away from the nucleus and can contain more electrons
Some scientists thought these electrons orbit the nucleus and they had specific distances to orbit around the nucleus
Today we know that electrons have characteristics that are similar to waves and particles
Electrons energy levels are not defined, planet like orbits around the nucleus
They move around in what we call the electron cloud
Its a spherical cloud of varying density
The varying density shows where an electron might be
Atoms with higher energy levels have additional electron clouds of different shapes.
Scientists have continued research on atoms
They have broken down protons and neutrons into even smaller particles called quarks
These particles can combine to make other kinds of tiny particles
6 types of quarks
Up, down, strange, charmed, top, and bottom
Periodic table
I am Dmitri Mendeleev
I made the Periodic Table
Shows us all known elements in the universe
Organizes the elements by chemical properties
The atomic number is the number of protons found in the nucleus of an atom
The number of electrons surrounding the nucleus of an atom
The symbol is an abbreviation of the element name
The atomic weight is the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.
# of protons = atomic number
# of electrons = atomic number
# of neutrons = atomic weight - atomic number
What is an element
A substance composed of a single kind of atom
Cannot be broken down into another substance chemical or physical means
A compound is a substance in which two or more different elements are chemically bonded together
What is a mixture
Two or more substances that are mixed together but not chemically bonded
