Science Quiz 3
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Law of Definite Propotions | A chemicl conmpoun is always made up of the same elements in the same proportions. |
| Electrons | A negatively charged particle with an extremely small mass. Their speed and distance are jut right to keep them from being sucked into the nucleus. |
| Nucleus | The center of an atom with contains protons and neutrons. |
| Energy Levels | A region in an atom that contains electrons of a certain energy. |
| Neutrons | A neutral particle in the nucleas of an atom, with approximately the same mass as a proton. Unstable particle that explodes in 17 minutes when removed from the nucleus, but is stable in the nulceus. |
| Protons | A positively charged particle in the nucleus of an atom; 1836 times heavier than an electron. They stick together when they should be repelling each other with great force. |
| Planetary Model | Created by Bohr. Electrons exist in specific engery levels. Represents the location of each electron as a general and indefinite, |
| Quantum Model | Represents the location of electrons being present in cloud-like orbitals |
| Orbitals | Regions of most probable location electrons. |
| Atomic Mass | The total masses of the particles in an atom. |
| Atomic Mass Unit (amu) | A unit used to measure the mass of an atom; one-twelth of the mass of a carbon012 atom |
| Atomic Number | The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. |
| Mass Number | The sum of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom; also known as atomic mass. |
| Isotopes | Different forms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons |
| Isotopic Notation | Shows both the atomic number and the mass number of the atom i.e.(13C4, 14C6) |
| Atoms | Never wear out. Function flawlessly for thousands of years. Are continuously recycled. |
| Democritus | Theory-All matter is made up of atoms. Key Terms- Atom=indivisble(undividable) |
| Bohr | Theory- Planetary Model Key Terms- Electrons exist in specific energy levels |
| Various Scientists | Theory-Quantum Model Key Terms-Energy levels=Electron Cloud. Position of electron is uncertain. |
