Matter Miller JMS
Matter test for Mrs. Miller at Jackson Middle school by Christian Stepp
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Element | Matter that is made up of only one kind of atom. Abt. 90 occur naturally, total of about 115 |
| Periodic Table | chart used by chemists to organize and display elements. |
| Row | period |
| atomic number | top number in element symbol and the number of protons |
| mass number | total of protons plus nuetrons |
| isotope | atoms of the same element that have different number of neutrons |
| atomic mass | weighted average mass of the isotopes of an element |
| metals | elements that form ions by giving up electrons, have shiny metallic luster, malleable, good conductors, ductile, (most elements are metals) |
| nonmetals | found on right side of periodic table, except Oxygen, are brittle, form negative ions, important for life (97% of your body is nonmetals) |
| metalloids | stair step between metals and nonmetals can form positive or negative ions |
| Democritus | Greek Philosopher who reasoned that there must exist a smallest or indivisible piece of an elelment |
| Lavoisier | French scientist who from 1600's who formed the law of conservation of matter |
| John Dalton | English teacher from 1800's formed model in which each type of matter was formed by only one kind of atom. Model was called the atomic theory of matter |
| JJ Thompson | (early 1800's) English scientist discovered electron. (chocolate chip cookie model) |
| Rutherford | (1910) famous gold foil experiment discovered the nucleus |
| James Chadwick | (1910's) student of Rutherford, discovered the nuetron |
| Neils Bohr | (early 20th century) discovered that electrons are arranged in different energy levels |
| Modern Atomic model | show electrons moving around the nucleus in an electron cloud |
| Malleable | can be bent or pounded in different shapes |
| Ductile | can be drawn into wire without breaking |
| brittle | cannot be bent or pounded into different shapes easily without breaking |
| columns | called groups - elements in the same column have similar properties |
| rows | called periods - elements in the same row have the same number of energy levels |
