Solids are rigid, compact, and incompressible. They have a fixed shape and volume. Does not flow
Liquids have definite volume but no definite shape. Flows and diffuses slowly. and are nearly compressible
Viscosity is defined as the resistance of a liquid to flow
all matter is made up of particles
properties of gases: have no definite shape and volume. slow and diffuse easily. are compressible. exert pressure
Examples of Amorphus Solids: charcoal and rubb
Plasma - electrified gas
Plasma - readily conducts electricity. absorbs some types of radiation that would pass unaffected through a gas and responds to electric and magnetic forces
Structure of the Atom
There is a strong force holding solid particles together. Solid particles only vibrate at fixed positions.
The most common form of matter in the universe is plasma. The stars in our galaxy and other galaxies are made up of plasma.
Sublimation is a process where solid changes directly to gas without passing through the liquid state. The reverse reaction of sublimation is deposition.
Leucippus & Democritus - Atom: a minute particle that could not be subdivided
Robert Boyle - Definition of ‘element’
John Dalton - Atom: indestructible sphere with a mass
Jons Jakob Berzelius - Mass of oxygen as a standard
J. J. Thomson - Electrons
Ernest Rutherford - Gold foil experiment
James Chadwick - neutron
J.J. Thompson - plum pudding model
max planck - quanta
Ernest Rutherford - Nucleus
Plucker, Hittorf, Crookes - Cathode rays
Döbereiner attempted to classify the existing elements into groups of three with related properties. He called these groups triads
Lothan Meyer was working on a periodic table included only 28 elements.
The modern periodic table of the elements contains 18 groups, or vertical columns.
John A. R. Newlands classified 56 discovered elements into 11 groups based on similar physical properties.
The elements Na and Cl combine to form salt.
The periodic table consists of 7 periods.
Mendeleev’s periodic table did not include a space for noble gases
Another name for an unstable isotope is a Radioisotope
In the periodic table, the first period is the period with the least number of elements.
Aluminum (Al) is NOT the only true metal in Group IVA.
