The Law of Conservation of Mass follows from the concept that
answer
Atoms are indivisible
question
If two or more compounds are composed of the same two elements, the ratio of the masses of element that combine with a fixed mass of the other element is a simple whole number. This is a statement of the law of
answer
Multiple proportions
question
the law of multiple proportions can be partly explained by the idea that
answer
Element combine to form compounds
question
Who was the schoolmaster who studied chemistry and proposed an atomic theory
answer
John Dalton
question
Who first recognized that the ratio of them number of atoms that combine is the same as the ratio of the masses that combine
answer
John Dalton
question
The principle of atomic theory recognized today were conceived by
answer
Dalton
question
According to Dalton's atomic theory, atoms
answer
Of each element are identical in size, mass and other properties
question
Which of the following is NOT part of Dalton's atomic theory
answer
The number of protons in an Atom is its atomic number
question
According to Dalton's atomic theory, atoms
answer
Of different elements combine in simple whole-number ratios to form compounds
question
Dalton's atomic theory did NOT explain the law of
answer
Conversation of energy
question
The law of definite proportions
answer
Contradicted Dalton's atomic theory
question
Dalton's atomic theory help to explain the law of conservation of mass because it stated that atoms
answer
Could not be created or destroyed
question
Who proposed the law of multiple proportions
answer
Dalton
question
Dalton's atomic theory essentially agreed with the present atomic theory EXCEPT for the statement that
answer
All atoms of the same element have the same mass
question
Which of the following statements is true
answer
Atoms of the same element may have different masses
question
Which concept in Dalton's atomic theory has been modified
answer
Atoms cannot be divided
question
The atom's theory proposed by Dalton
answer
Has been expanded and modified
question
In early experiments of electricity and matter, an electrical current was passed through a glass tube containing
answer
Gas under low pressure
question
When an electrical current passed through a glass tube, a paddle wheel placed between the electrode moved. Scientists concluded that
answer
Particles were passing form the cathode ray to the anode
question
In glass tube , electrical current passed through for the negative electrode called the , to the other electrode
answer
Cathode
question
The Rays produced in a cathode tube in a early experiment were
answer
Deflected away from a negative plate
question
The behavior of cathode Rays produced in a glass tube containing gas at low pressure led scientists to conclude that the Rays
answer
We're composed of negatively charged particles
question
After measuring the ratio of the charge of a cathode ray particle to its mass.Thomson concluded that the particles
answer
Had a very small mass
question
Experiment with cathode Rays led to the discovery of the
answer
electron
question
Millikan's experiments
answer
Measured the charge on the electron
question
The discovery of cathode Rays in Thomson's experiments was evidence of the Nature of electron
answer
Charged
question
Who discovered the nucleus by bombarding gold foil with positively charged particles and nothing that some particles were widely deflected
answer
Rutherford
question
The discovery of the electron results from experiments using
answer
Cathode ray
question
In Rutherford's experiments, very few positively charged particles
answer
We're greatly deflected back from the metal
question
In Rutherford's experiments, positively charged particles
answer
Were used to bombard thin metal foil
question
In Rutherford's experiments,mostly of the particles
answer
Passed through the foil
question
Because most particles fired at metal foil passed straight through, Rutherford concluded that
answer
Atoms were mostly empty
question
Because a few positively charged particles bounced back from the foil, Rutherford concluded that such particles were
answer
Repelled by densely packed regions of positive charge
question
Rutherford's experiment led to the discovery of the
answer
Nucleus
question
Rutherford's experimental results led him to conclude that atoms could matin massive central regions that have
answer
A positive charge
question
Rutherford fired positively charged particles at metal foil ad concluded that most of the mass of an atoms was
answer
Concentrate in the nucleus
question
What did Rutherford conclude about the structure of the Atom
answer
An atom contain a small, dense, positively charged particles central region
question
In Rutherford's experiments, the backwards deflection of alpha particles gave evidence of an atom's
answer
Nucleus
question
A nuclear particle that has about the same mass as a proton, but with no electrical charge, is called a

Neutron
question
The nucleus of an atom has all of the following characteristics EXCEPT that is
answer
Contains nearly all of the atom's volume
