Physical Science Ch 7 Questions

AB
What are the basic units of matter?atoms
How many different kinds of atoms are in nature?over 100(each called elements)
Describe the make-up of an atom.a nucleus surrounded by a cloud of electrons at different energy levels
What does an atom's nucleus contain?protons and neutrons
How many protons do atoms of the same element have?the same number of protons
What is different about isotopes of the same element?different number of neutrons(but same number of protons)
What is the mass number?total number of protons and neutrons in an atom
What is an element?a substance made of just one kind of atom
How are elements represented?with a one or two letter chemical symbol
What is a compound?a substance made of two or more elements chemically combined
The properties of a compound differ from the properties of the ________ that make it up.elements
Some compounds exist as ________ others are _________ ________.molecules; ionic compounds
The makeup of a compound can be described by a _______ ________.chemical formula
What is a mixture?formed when two or more different substances are mixed but not chemically combined
Each part of a ____________ keeps its original properties and can be separated.mixture
Mixtures can be ___________ or __________.homogeneous; heterogeneous
Dalton's modeldeveloped in early 1800's, all matter composed of atoms, atoms solid & invisible spheres, atoms of same element are alike, atoms of different elements have different masses, atoms of different elements can join to form compounds
Thomson's modeldeveloped in late 1800's, discovered electrons, atoms are not indivisible there are positive and negative pieces, atoms are electrically neutral-charges must equal and balance out the positive charges, positive and negative stuck together, "plum pudding" model
Rutherford's modeldeveloped in early 1900's, used "Gold-Foil experiment" showed that atoms were mostly empty space and nucleus was small speck in middle, called "nuclear model", scientist were very skeptical, shouldn't positive and negative charges attract
Bohr's modeldeveloped in 1913, thought that electrons existed in shells or energy levels around the nucleus, electrons move around the nucleus much like planets around sun, called "Planetary Model"
Electron Cloud modelcurrent model, electrons exist in areas(clouds) around the nucleus, can describe location of electron but cannot say how electrons move from one place to another, don't believe electrons orbit, energy levels contain more electrons the farther they are from the nucleus
What is the atomic number?number of protons in an atom, determines the name of element(it also equals the number of electrons)
