A+
⩥ Atoms. Answer: Basic unit of matter which cannot be broken down
and contain mostly empty space; contains three parts: the electron,
proton, and neutron
⩥ Elements. Answer: A pure substance that contains only one type of
atom
⩥ Compound. Answer: Two or more elements that are chemically
bonded; includes ionic and covalent
⩥ Mixture. Answer: Two or more substances that are together but not
bonded
⩥ Pure Substance. Answer: Substance that contains only one kind of
compound
,⩥ Bose-Einstein Condensate. Answer: The state of matter with the
lowest energy; basically a very cold solid
⩥ Solid. Answer: A state of matter with strong bonds
⩥ Liquid. Answer: A state of matter with weak bonds
⩥ Gas. Answer: A state of matter with no bonds
⩥ Plasma. Answer: The state of matter with the highest energy; it uses
ionization instead of bonds
⩥ Robert Boyle. Answer: First to define an element; any substance is a
substance unless it can be broken down
⩥ John Dalton. Answer: Used and combined previous ideas to discuss
the atom; elements are made of atoms; all atoms of an element are
identical; atoms of different elements are different; law of constant
composition; atoms are invisible
⩥ Law of Constant Composition. Answer: Atoms of one element can
combine with other elements to form compounds; a given compound
always has the same relative numbers and types of atoms
,⩥ J.J. Thomson. Answer: Discovered electrons and protons and
developed the plum pudding model of an atom
⩥ Electrons. Answer: The negatively charged particle in an atom; circles
around the nucleus in the electron cloud
⩥ Proton. Answer: The positively charged particle in an atom; located in
the nucleus; determine the element
⩥ Neutron. Answer: The neutral particle in an atom; it has no charge and
is located in the nucleus
⩥ Plum Pudding Model. Answer: A model of the atom that depicts a
sphere of positive charge with electrons scattered throughout
⩥ Ernest Rutherford. Answer: Conducted an experiment in which he
shot alpha particles at gold foil; roved there was a small, dense nucleus
with a positive charge and that protons are positive
⩥ Metals. Answer: Elements located on the left side of the periodic table
that want to lose electrons
⩥ Characteristics of Metals. Answer: - Malleable
- Ductile
, - Conductive
- Lustrous
⩥ Malleable. Answer: The ability to be molded into shapes
⩥ Ductile. Answer: The ability to be pulled into wire
⩥ Conductive. Answer: The ability to allow heat or electricity to pass
through an object
⩥ Lustrous. Answer: The ability to be shiny
⩥ Nonmetals. Answer: Elements located on the right side of the periodic
table that want to gain electrons
⩥ Metalloids. Answer: Elements placed in a stair-step line between
metals and nonmetals; they have characteristics of both
⩥ Diatomic Molecules. Answer: Elements that occur in pairs in their
natural state; hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine,
iodine
