question
Dalton's Atomic Theory
answer
All matter is composed of extremely small particles called atoms Atoms of a given element are identical in size, mass, and other properties; atoms of different elements different size, mass, and other properties Cannot be subdivided, created, or destroyed
question
Modern Atomic Theory
answer
Atoms are divisible into even smaller particles, All matter is composed of atoms, atoms of any one element differ in properties from atoms of another element remain unchanged
question
Rutherford
answer
Bombarded a thin piece of gold for oil with fast-moving alpha particles, because not all of the particles went through, there must be a densely packed bundle of matter with a positive charge: the nucleus

question
Hund's Rule
answer
Every orbital in a sub shell is singly occupied with one electron before anyone orbital is doubly occupied, and all electrons instantly occupied orbitals have the same spin
question
The Aufbau Principle
answer
States that an electron occupies the lowest energy orbital that can receive it
question
The Pauli exclusion principle
answer
States that no two electrons in the same atom can have the same set of four quantum numbers
question

Noble gases; no chemical reactivity
question

answer
D block elements Transition metals
question
Groups 13 to 18

question
Atomic radii
answer
One half the distance between the nuclei of identical atoms that are bonded together Trend: atomic radii decrease as you move left to right across a period Trend: atomic radii increase when going down a group
question
Ionization energy
answer
The energy required to remove one electron from a neutral atom of an element Trend: increases moving left to right across a period Trend: decreases down a group
question
Electron affinity
answer
The energy change that occurs when a neutral atom acquires an electron Trend: increase is moving to the right across a period Trend: generally constant moving down a group
question
Ionic radii
answer
Trend: the metals at the left tend to form cations and the nonmetals at the upper right tend to form anions Trend: increase of ionic ready I've heard moving down to group
question
Electronegativity
answer
A measurement of the ability of an atom in a chemical compound to attract electrons from another atom in the compound Trend: tends to increase from left to right across a period Trend: tend to either decreased down a group or remain about the same
question
Ionic compound
answer

answer
A covalent bond in which a pair of electrons shared between atoms is held more closely by one atom
question
Nonpolar covalent bind
answer
Covalent bond in which the bonding electrons are equally attracted to both bonded atoms
question
Octet rule
answer
Chemical compounds tend to form so that each atom, by gaining, losing, or sharing electrons, has an octet of electrons in its highest occupied energy level
question
Lewis Structures / Dot Diagrams
answer
Formula in which Potomac symbols represent nuclei and inner shell electrons.pairs were dashes between two atomic symbols represent electron pairs in covalent bonds, and dots adjacent to only one atomic symbol represent unshared electrons
question
Molar mass
answer
Total mass in grams of all of the elements in a substance
question
Percent composition
answer
Mass of element _______________ x 100 Molar mass of compound
question
Empirical formula
answer
Given 25.6% K, 35.41% Cr, 38.03% O Assume the percent value equals the same number in grams 26.5 g K x ( 1 mol K / 39.10 g K) = .6777 mol K 35.41 g Cr x ( 1 mol Cr / 52 g Cr) = .6809 mol Cr 38.03 g O x ( 1 mol O / 16 g O) = 2.3768 mol O Divide all by smallest amount of moles. In this case that is .6777 mol K. K - .6777/.6777 = 1 mol K Cr - .6809/.6777 = 1.0047 = 1 mol Cr O - 2.3768/.6777 = 3.5073 = 3.5 Clear fractions if needed to get whole numbers. In this case the 3.5 makes this necessary. 3.5 x 2 = O7 1 x 2 = K2 1 x 2 = Cr2 = K2Cr2O7 or potassium dichromate
question
Combustion reactions
answer
Always produce CO2 and H2O
question
Moles to mass
answer
Amount of given substance (mol) x ( mol unknown / mol given ) x (molar mass of unknown / 1 mol unknown) = mass of unknown substance (g)
question
Mass to moles
answer
Mass of given substance (g) x ( 1 mol given / molar mass of given x ( mol unknown / mol given ) = amount of substance (mol)
question
Mass to mass
answer
Mass of given substance (g) x ( 1 mol given / molar mass of given (g) ) x ( mol unknown / mol given ) x ( molar mass of unknown / 1 mol unknown ) = mass of unknown substance (g)
question
Moles to moles
answer
Amount of given substance (mol) x ( mol unknown / mol given ) = amount of unknown substance (mol)
question
