Cards (31)

  • Matter
    Anything that occupies SPACE and has MASS
  • Chemistry
    Deals with the study of MATTER
  • Elements
    Substances that CAN'T BE BROKEN DOWN INTO SIMPLER SUBSTANCES
  • Atom
    SMALLEST particle of an element
  • Subatomic particles
    • Neutron = ZERO charge
    • Proton = POSITIVE charge
    • Electron = NEGATIVE charge
  • Big Bang Theory
    A theory that states that the universe was developed 13.7 billion years ago from a very small, dense and hot state called SINGULARITY which started to collapse and expands
  • Big Bang Nucleosynthesis
    A process which CREATES NEW ATOMIC NUCLEUS from preexisting nucleons
  • Light elements formed in big bang nucleosynthesis

    • Hydrogen
    • Helium
    • Some Lithium and Beryllium
  • Nuclear Fusion
    A process of COMBINING TWO NUCLEUSES to produce new element
  • Stellar Nucleosynthesis
    A process occurring WITHIN THE STAR by which LIGHTER ELEMENTS are fused together to create another element
  • Supernova Nucleosynthesis
    Responsible for creating RARER ELEMENTS HEAVIER THAN IRON AND NICKEL
  • Leucipus and Democritus
    Called the small pieces of matter as "ATOMOS" which means INDIVISIBLE
  • Aristotle
    Affirmed that there are four elements FIRE, WATER, EARTH and WIND
  • John Dalton
    Proposed the MODERN ATOMIC THEORY
  • Modern Atomic Theory
    • All matter is composed of atoms
    • Atoms cannot be subdivided, created, or destroyed in ordinary chemical reactions
    • Atoms of an element have a characteristic average mass which is unique to that element
    • Atoms of any one element differ in properties from atoms of another element
  • Joseph John Thompson/J.J. Thompson

    Formulated the PLUM PUDDING MODEL of the atom where he believed that the ELECTRON particles are like plums in a POSITIVELY CHARGE PUDDING
  • Ernest Rutherford
    Formulated the NUCLEAR MODEL of the atom where he believed that ELECTRONS revolves around a POSITIVELY CHARGE CENTER of the atom which he called the NUCLEUS
  • James Chadwick
    Conducted the same experiment as Ernest Rutherford and discovered the subatomic particle NEUTRON
  • Neils Bohr
    MODIFIED AND IMPROVED the nuclear model of the atom of Ernest Rutherford by placing the ELECTRONS in SPECIFIC ENERGY LEVEL
  • Atomic Number
    No. of PROTON
  • Atomic Mass
    No. of Proton plus No. of Neutron
  • Isotopes
    Elements with the same ATOMIC NUMBER but different ATOMIC MASS
  • Johann Wolfgang Dobereiner's Law of Triads

    First to arrange the elements into THREE
  • John A. Newlands' Law of Octaves

    Arranged the elements according to INCREASING ATOMIC WEIGHT where the chemical properties REPEAT IN AN INTERVAL OF EIGHT
  • Dmitri Mendeleev's Periodic Table

    Arranged the elements according to increasing atomic weight and was the first to tabulate the elements
  • Henry Moseley's Periodic Table

    Arranged the elements according to INCREASING ATOMIC NUMBER
  • CATHODE RAY TUBE
    - Thompson used the CATHODE RAY TUBE experiment to formulate his PLUM PUDDING MODEL.
  • GOLD FOIL EXPERIMENT
    -          ERNEST RUTHERFORD used the GOLD FOIL EXPERIMENT where he bombarded it with alpha particle.
  • BARIUM
    Instead of using gold, James used BARIUM in his experiment.
  • SINGULARITY
    a very small, dense and hot state which started to collapse and expands.
  • Big bang Theory was developed when?
    13.7 billion years ago
