QuestionAnswer
Diatomic Elements H2, N2, O2, F2, Cl2, Br2, I2
Law of Conservation of Mass Matter is neither created nor destroyed. Total mass stays the same during a chemical reaction.
Law of Conservation of Energy Energy is neither created nor destroyed
kilo Symbol K. Factor 10^3. Ex: 1 km = 1000m or 1m = 0.001 km.
Centi Symbol C. Factor 10^-2. Ex: 1 cm = 0.01 m or 1 m = 100 cm.
Milli Symbol M. Factor 10^-3. Ex: 1 mm = 0.001 m or 1 m = 1000 mm.
Memorize 1 mL = 1 cm^3
Temp (K) = Temp (°C) + 273.15
Kilograms To Grams 1 kg = 1000 g
Inches To Feet 12 in = 1 ft
Feet To Meters 3.2808 ft = 1 m
Centimeters To Meters 100 cm = 1 m
Millimeters to Meters 1000 mm = 1 m
Kilometers To Meters 1 km = 1000 m
Inches To Centimeters 1 in = 2.54 cm
Grams To Milligrams 1 g = 1000 mg
Liters To Milliliters 1 L = 1000 mL
Avogadro's # 1 mole = 6.022 x 10^23 things
Grams To Moles Use Molar Mass
Moles To # Of Things Use Avogadro's #
Grams To Milliliters Use Density
Democritus Greek philosopher who said matter is made of tiny, indivisible particles called atoms.
Atom (Atomos) Means “indivisible”; the smallest piece of matter according to Democritus.
Aristotle Greek philosopher who believed matter was made of fire, water, earth, and air and could be divided infinitely.
Law of Definite Proportions A compound always contains the same elements in the same fixed ratio by mass.
Dalton’s Atomic Theory Theory stating that matter is made of atoms, elements have one type of atom, and compounds form in fixed whole-number ratios.
J.J. Thomson - Cathode Ray Tube Experiment (1897) The experiment determined that the particles: are negatively charged, weigh much less than atoms, are the same regardless of source material, we call these particles e^- (electrons).
Millikan Oil Drop Experiment (1909) The experiment determined: the charge of electron (magnitude) & mass of the electron.
Thompson - Plum Pudding Model (1904) Atom is a positive mass with negatively charged electrons embedded in it.
Hantaro Nagaoka - Saturn Like Model (1903) Positively charged sphere with ring of electrons around it.
Rutherford - Gold Foil Experiment (1911) The experiment determined that atoms: are largely empty space, have a dense, positively charged nucleus, surrounded by electrons. (Later discovered the proton).
Fredrick Soddy - Discovered Isotopes (1913) Atoms with the same chemical properties, but different masses.
James Chadwick - Discovered The Neutron (1932) Happened later because neutrons are neutral and don't interact with electronic and magnetic fields.
Proton Symbol P. Relative Charge +1. Mass ~1 amu.
Neutron Symbol N. Relative Charge 0. Mass ~1 amu.
Electron Symbol E. Relative Charger -1. Mass 5.5 x 10^-4 amu.
Atomic Number Number of protons in an atom.
Mass Number Number of protons + number of nuetrons.
Ex: 15 N 7 Protons: 7. Neutrons: 8 (15-7). Electrons: 7.
Isotopes Atoms of an element that have different numbers of neutrons. Ex: ^12C, ^13C, ^14C.
Atomic Mass Equation = (mass isotope 1 × fractional abundance 1) + (mass isotope 2 × fractional abundance 2) or (m₁ × %₁) + (m₂ × %₂)
Dual Nature of Light Light acts as both a wave and a particle.
Wavelength (λ – lambda) The distance between two crests or two troughs of a wave; measured in meters (m) or nanometers (nm).
Amplitude The height of a wave from the center line to the crest; shows the wave’s energy.
Frequency (ν – nu) Number of complete waves passing a point each second; measured in 1/s, s⁻¹, or Hz.
Speed of Light (c) A constant value: 3.00 × 10⁸ m/s.
The relationship between wavelength, frequency, and speed: c = λν
Electron Behavior Electrons move in a large region outside the nucleus, and their behavior is closely linked to the behavior of light.
Electromagnetic Spectrum Different types of EM radiation have different λ.
Refraction Light changes path when it enters a new material.
Diffraction Light bends when it passes through a slit around the size of the wavelength.
Interference When waves collide, overlapping crests make brighter (or bigger) crests, and colliding crests and troughs cancel each other.
Particle Nature of Light Idea that light behaves like particles (not just waves) to explain certain phenomena that classical physics could not.
Blackbody Radiation Hot materials glow and change color with temperature; classical wave physics could not explain this behavior.
Photoelectric Effect Light of a certain minimum frequency knocks electrons off a metal; higher frequency → higher energy electrons.
Threshold Frequency The minimum frequency needed for light to eject electrons from a metal; brightness cannot substitute for this.
Photon A particle or “packet” of light with a specific amount of energy.
Photon Energy Equation E = hν. Where E = energy (Joules), h = Planck’s constant (6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ J·s), ν = frequency of light.
Key Finding of Photoelectric Effect Energy of light depends on frequency, not brightness; brightness only increases the number of photons/electrons.
Ephoton = hv
Etotal = # photons x Ephoton
Photoelectric Effect Minimum-energy photons knock electrons off a metal; higher frequency → more energetic electrons; brighter light → more electrons emitted.
Atomic Spectra Atoms emit light at specific wavelengths (line spectra); each element has a unique pattern.
Bohr Model Electrons move around nucleus in quantized energy levels; absorb energy → move up, release energy → move down, emitting photons.
Energy Level Allowed region of electron energy.
Absorption Electron gains energy → moves to higher level.
Emission Electron loses energy → moves to lower level.
Ground State Lowest energy level.
Excited State Higher energy level.
Bohr Equation for Wavelength 1/λ​=1.10 x 10^7 m^-1 (1/n^2​final − 1/n^​1initial​). n = energy level number.
Density Equation = Mass/Volume
