Science, Chapters 11-12

QuestionAnswer
Matter is made of particles called atoms. Democritus
An atom is the smallest particle into which an element can be divided and still be the same substance. Democritus
440 BC Democritus
All substances are made of atoms Dalton
atoms are small particles that cannot be created, divided, or destroyed. Dalton
Negatively charged particles that are now known as electrons were discovered be Thomson
Dalton 1803
Thomson 1897
Center of an atom is a tiny, positively charged atom called a nucleus. Rutherford
Rutherford 1911
electrons follow a certain path or energy level around nucleus Bohr
Bohr 1913
Electrons are likely to be found in electron clouds
The nucleus is made of protons and neutrons
outside nucelus are negatively charged particles called electrons
For bigger atoms, add more... protons, neutrons, electrons
The number of protons in the nucelus of that atom is the... atomic #
All atoms of an element have the same atomic #
What are isotopes? atoms that have same # protons but dif. # neutrons
An unstable atoms has a nucelus that will... change over time
You can identify each isotope by its mass #
what is the mass #? sum of protons/neutrons in an atom.
What is atomic mass? the weighted average of the masses of all the naturally occuring isotopes of that element.
What are the four forces? gravitational force, electromagnetic force, strong force, weak force
Dmirti Mendeleev 1869
Henry Moseley 1914. Figured out atomic number worked better than mass.
92 natural elements, and 12 synthetic
What is the periodic law? the repeating chemical and phyisical properties of elements change periodically with the element's atomic #
Metals are: found of left side of zigzag line, solid room temp. shiny, ductile, malleable, thermal conductor
Nonmetals: found right of zigzag. Not malleable, ductile. noit shiny and poor conductors. most are gases at room temperature
Metalloids: border zigzag.
Silicon and germanium are used in: computer chips
Alkali metals are reactive? yes, they are reactive
Alkaline earth metals are: less reactive than alkali metal
Transition metals have: 1 or 2 electrons in outer shell, properties of metals
Halogens are good conductors? No, they are not
Are noble gases reactive? NO, they are stable
Why is hydrogen different? It sometimes has an extra electron and sometimes has one less electron

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
