They performed experiments with gases causing him to be convinced that matter was made up of tiny, invisible particles, and also observed that the same amounts of hydrogen and oxygen always combine to form a given amount of water. He reasoned that each element must be made of its unique kind of particle and that these particles combine in simple ways
john dalton
smallest particle of an element that has all the properties of the element.
atom
The size of an atom is measured in?
angstroms
It is a particle consisting two or more atoms combined in a specific arrangment
molecule
_ takes the shape of the container because the particles can move freely to all parts of the container. The particles move freely because they are far apart, and there is a negligible attraction between them.
gas
In _, the particles are closer to one another, nudging one another as they move. Since the particles are closer to one another, the attraction between particles is stronger than those in gases
liquids
_ have definite shapes and volume because the particles are packed closely together in fixed positions
solids
_ describes how much space an object or substance takes up (volume) in relation to the amount of matter in that object or substance (its mass). _ is the amount of mass per unit volume.
density
what process is liquid to gas
evaporation
process where water vapor turns liquid
condensation
process of solid to liquid
melting
process of liquid to solid
freezing
carries a positive charge and inside the nucleus
proton
carries a negative charge and outside of nucleus
electron
does not carry any charge or is neutral and inside the nucleus
neutron
the _ _ is the sum of the total no. of protons and neutron
mass number
A _ is an element that shares some properties with metals and some with non-metals. These elements also are called semimetals.
metalloid
_ make up most of the elements in the periodic table.
metals
These are the most stable of the elements (non-reactive), which include He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, and Rn. _ _ share properties like high densities, high melting points, colorless, odorless, and tasteless.
noble gases
These are the elements F, Cl, Br, I, and At. These elements are known to be salt-forming.
halogens
These are the elements Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, and Ra. These are very reactive elements that have similar chemical behavior during the formation of molecules and compounds. Many compounds in this group are insoluble in water.
alkaline earth metals
These are the elements Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, and Fr. They are all metals, extremely soft metals, which can be cut with a butter knife. Alkali metals are very abundant in nature. They share many similar chemical and physical properties; for example, they have low densities and low melting and boiling points.
alkali metals
A _ is a row of elements in the periodic table whose properties change gradually and predictably
period
The _ law states that when the elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number, their physical and chemical properties vary periodically
periodic
__ is the energy required to remove an electron from a neutral atom in its gaseous phase.
ionization energy
ionization energy increases from
left to right
_ can be understood as a chemical property describing an atom's ability to attract and bind with electrons.
electronegativity
from _ to _ across a period of elements, electronegativity increases.
left to right
_ _ is the ability of an atom to accept an electron. Unlike electronegativity, _ _ is a quantitative measurement of the energy change that occurs when an electron is added to a neutral gas atom. The more negative the __ value, the higher an atom's ? for electrons.
electron affinity
● __ increases from left to right within a period. This is caused by the decrease in atomic radius.
● __ decreases from top to bottom within a group. This is caused by the increase in atomic radius.
electron affinity
The _ _ of a chemical element is a measure of the size of its atoms. Within each period (horizontal row), the atomic size through its radius tends to decrease with increasing atomic number (nuclear charge). The largest atom in a period is a Group IA atom, and the smallest is a noble-gas atom. Within each group (vertical column), the atomic size tends to increase with the period number.
