Pu!

It has to do with exciting electrons!

Review Book

Questions 1-23 and 25 on pages 16-19.

Do not write out the questions, just the number of your answer.

Click on the right panel under Scientific American for interesting up to date articles relating to chemistry.  For instance, read about how an "Accidental Discovery Could Lead to Creation of Human Eyes in a Lab".

Test includes everything starting with the Greeks' view of the atom through the Modern Model of the atom.

Review Book

Read page 6.

Questions 27-36 on pages 7-9

If you've commented on any topic, click where it says "comments" for a  response.

Know everything on the atomic theory of atoms up to and including isotopes.

Second page from the latest handouts packet.  Remember to round off the element's atomic mass for the column that reads "mass number".

Review Book

1.  Read pages 5-6 (stop at "electrons").

2.  Questions 13-26 on page 7.

First and last time: 

1.  The concept that matter is composed of tiny, discrete particles is generally attributed to the 1) Greeks  2) Romans  3) English  4) Germans

2.  The first subatomic particle discovered was the     1) proton      2)  neutron     3)  electron  4)  photon

3.  According to the law of conservation of mass, if the products of a reaction have a mass of 64.0 g,  then the total mass of the reactants 1)  must be less than 64.0 g       2)  must be equal to 64.0g       3)  must be more than 64.0g       4)  is not related to the mass of the products

4.  The gold-foil experiment led scientists to conclude that an atom's 1)  positive charge is evenly distributed throughout its volume   2)  negative charge is mainly concentrated in its nucleus   3)  mass is evenly distributed throughout its volume    4)  volume is mainly unoccupied

5.  The  model of the atom that pictured the atom with electrons stuck randomly throughout the mass of the atom was called the  1)  cannonball model   2)  plum pudding model  3)  planetary model   4)  wave-mechanical model

 6.  After bombarding a gold foil sheet with alpha particles, scientists concluded that atoms mainly consist of     1)  electrons      2)  empty space   3)  protons   4)  neutrons.

 7.  Experimental evidence indicates that the nucleus of an atom  1)  contains most of the mass of the atom  2)  contains a small percentage of the mass of the atom    3)  has no charge   4)   has a negative charge

8.  Dalton's atomic theory states that  1)  all atoms of an element are positively charged  2)  different elements can have the same mass   3)  atoms of a given element must be identical   4)  all the atoms in a compound are identical 

Review Book

1.  Read pages 1-2 (up to and including "The Nucleus").

2.  Questions 1-8 on page 4.

Write both the questions and answers.

Purchase the Chemistry Review Book in the student store.  The price is $10.

In your own words, compare and contrast the view of the atom according to the Greeks, Dalton and JJ Thomson.

Now talk about Nothing!
