Question
Answer
How are elements abbreviated in chemical shorthand?   by a Symbol. One or two letter. The first letter is always a capital. If there is a second letter it is always lower case.  
🗑
What is an Atom?   The basic building block of all matter.  
🗑
What is an element?   A substance that contains only one type of Atom. A pure substance.  
🗑
What are the three particles in an Atom?   Protons, Neutrons & electrons.  
🗑
What is the electrical charge of a Proton?   Positive (+)  
🗑
What is the electrical charge of a neutron?   Neutral (o)  
🗑
What is the electrical charge of an electron?   Negative (-)  
🗑
What is the nucleus of an atom?   The center. The part of the atom with the most mass.  
🗑
What particles are in the nucleus of an atom?   Protons & Neutrons.  
🗑
What is the meaning of the Atomic Number?   Atomic Number =  
🗑
What is the meaning of the Atomic Mass Number?   It is the number of protons and neutrons in an atom  
🗑
On the Periodic Table where can you find the Atomic Number?   The small number at the top of each square.  
🗑
On the Periodic Table where can you find the Atomic Mass number?   The larger number underneathe the symbol of the element  
🗑
Where are the electrons of an atom located?   Outside of the nucleus in an electron cloud.  
🗑
Which atomic particle determines the properties of an element?   Protons  
🗑
How much mass do the atomic particles have?   Protons & Neutrons contain most of the mass of the atom. The electrons are so small we cannot measure their mass. Electron mass is counted as zero.  
🗑
What is an Isotope?   Atoms which have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons  
🗑
What is an Ion?   An atom with an electric charge. (must lose or gain electrons in order to become an ion)  
🗑
How does an atom acquire an electrical charge?   It gains or loses one or more electrons.  
🗑
How does a normal atom maintain a total neutral charge?   Equal numbers of Protons (+) and Electrons (-).  
🗑
Do we know the exact location of electrons in the electron cloud?   No. The exact location of electrons cannot be known for certain. We can only predict the approximate & probably location of the electrons in various shell energy levels, from closest to the nucleus to further and further from the nucleus.  
🗑
How do you find the number of Protons on the Periodic Table?   The number of protons is equal to the atomic number  
🗑
How do you find the Atomic Mass on the Periodic Table?   The Atomic Mass is the decimal number at the bottom of each square.  
🗑
What is a Shell Energy Level?   The approximate location of electrons in the electron cloud surrounding the atomic nucleus  
🗑
Democritus   Said that all matter is composed of "atomos"  
🗑
John Dalton   _____'s Atomic Theory (5 laws)  
🗑

🗑
Robert A. Millikan   Calculated charge of electron  
🗑
Ernest Rutherford   Discovered that there is a "dense, positively charged region" in the atom  
🗑
Bohr   Said that electrons travel in concentric circular paths around the nucleus, with fixed amount of energy for each level.  
🗑
Dmitri Mendeleev   Arranged elements by properties and mass
