1. Atomic and Molecular Structure a. Students know how to relate the position of an element in the periodic table to its atomic number and atomic mass. The Periodic Table organizes elements by their atomic number - from hydrogen (1) to whatever is the highest one currently known (>105). It is arranged so that similiar members fall in a list such as Chlorine Bromine etc.. The average atomic weight is usually shown with each element‚ but due to isotopes (caused buy nuclear varations)

pudding” model of atoms (1900)– negative electrons in a positive framework 1800‚ John Dalton‚ English chemist: • Proposed the atomic patterns‚ which account for the law of conservation of mass and the law of constant composition • All matter is made of atoms; atoms of an element are identical; each element has different atoms; atoms of different elements combine in constant ratios to form compounds; atoms are rearranged in reactions. • “Billiard ball’ model – atoms

Kevin Li Mrs. Baldwin Honors Chemistry 3 November 2012 Historical Development of Atomic Structure Over the many years of the world’s history‚ there have been numerous developments and discoveries pertaining to atomic structure. Each of these breakthroughs gradually led us—step by step—to a deeper understanding of what makes up each and every atom. Because of this‚ our perception of an atom’s structure today is vastly different from the first idea of an atom’s structure from many centuries

proton and an electron? (1) They have the same masses and the same charges. (2) They have the same masses and different charges. (3) They have different masses and the same charges. (4) They have different masses and different charges. 3 The atomic mass of an element is the weighted average of the masses of (1) its two most abundant isotopes (3) all of its naturally occurring isotopes (2) its two least abundant isotopes (4) all of its radioactive isotopes 4 Which statement is true about

Atomic structure: scientists 1. Democritus: 1st person to think of atom (500 BCE)- philosopher Atom is the smallest piece of an element that has same properties as the element. 2. Lavisier: Law of conservation of mass/ matter • Mass can’t be created or destroy; same amount of stuff 3. Joseph Proust: Law of constant composition (law of definite Proportions) • A compound is always made of the same elements in the same ratio. 4. John Dalton: English school teacher who derived the atomic theory

Decision to Drop the Bomb By Jung Oh Introduction Of all the political and military decisions in history‚ few have been subject to more analysis and comment than the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki (Miles‚ 1985‚121). Scholars in the field have grappled with the vexing question of why the United States decided to use the atomic bomb near the conclusion of the Second World War. A careful study of the critical events leading up to 6 August 1945 offers many distinct explanations. Contemporary

Democritus Democritus ( 460 a.c.– 370 a.c.) was an Ancient Greek philosopher born in Abdera‚ Thrace‚ Greece. He was an influential pre-Socratic philosopher and pupil of Leucippus‚ who formulated an atomic theory for the universe. His early deductions about the composition of the basic component of nature led him to believe in unseen and uncuttable particles ‚ called atomos. This Greek philosopher wondered how he could be sitting in one part of his

The Evolution of the Atomic Theory Rob Congrove B4 10/23/00 The five atomic theorys of the past two centuries represent the sudden advancement of science in modern times. Beginning with a basic theory on the behavior of atoms to the current model‚ some changes have been made‚ and some ideas are still the same. Ancient Greek philosophers believed that everything was made up of invisible particles called atmos. Since then the theory of atoms did not progress until 1803. John

Atomic theory is the idea that matter is made up of small particles made of atoms. The atomic theory first had 5 points which were stated by John Dalton who came up with it. The first one was that all elements were made up of small units called atoms. The second one was that all atoms of a given element are identical to each other. Third‚ all the atoms were different from all the other atoms. Fourth‚ atoms of different elements combined together in equal numbers to form compounds. Fifth and final

Isotopes‚ sub-atomic particles and relative atomic mass Sub-atomic particles A subatomic particle is a particle smaller than an atom: it may be elementary or composite. In 1905‚ Albert Einstein demonstrated the physical reality of the photons‚ hypothesized by Max Planck in 1900‚ in order to solve the problem of black body radiation in thermodynamics. In 1874‚ G. Johnstone Stoney postulated a minimum unit of electrical charge‚ for which he suggested the name electron in 1891. In 1897‚ J. J. Thomson confirmed
