  • What is matter?

    Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space (has volume).

  • What are atoms?

    Atoms are basic submicroscopic particles that constitute the fundamental building blocks of ordinary matter.

  • What are molecules?

    Molecules are substances formed when two or more atoms bond in specific geometric arrangements.

  • How is matter classified by state?

    Matter is classified as solid, liquid, or gas based on particle arrangement and movement.

  • Describe the particle arrangement in solids.

    In solids, particles are tightly packed in fixed locations and vibrate but do not move past each other, giving solids a fixed volume and shape.

  • Describe the particle arrangement in liquids.

    In liquids, particles are closely packed but free to move relative to each other, giving liquids a fixed volume but no fixed shape.

  • Describe the particle arrangement in gases.

    In gases, particles are widely spaced and move freely, making gases compressible with no fixed volume or shape.

  • What is the difference between pure substances and mixtures?

    Pure substances have a fixed composition; mixtures contain two or more components with variable proportions.

  • What distinguishes heterogeneous and homogeneous mixtures?

    Heterogeneous mixtures vary in composition throughout; homogeneous mixtures have uniform composition throughout.

  • What was Democritus' contribution to atomic theory?

    Democritus proposed that matter is composed of small, indestructible particles called atoms that move randomly through empty space.

  • State the Law of Conservation of Mass.

    In a chemical reaction, matter is neither created nor destroyed.

  • State the Law of Definite Proportions.

    All samples of a given compound have the same proportions of their constituent elements regardless of source or preparation.

  • State the Law of Multiple Proportions.

    When two elements form different compounds, the masses of one element that combine with a fixed mass of the other are in ratios of small whole numbers.

  • Summarize Dalton's Atomic Theory.

    Atoms are tiny, indestructible particles; atoms of an element are identical; atoms combine in whole-number ratios; atoms rearrange in reactions but do not change into other atoms.

  • What did J.J. Thomson discover?

    Thomson discovered the electron and proposed the plum-pudding model where electrons are embedded in a positively charged sphere.

  • What was Millikan's Oil Drop Experiment?

    Millikan measured the charge of a single electron as \(-1.60 \times 10^{-19}\) coulombs by balancing electric and gravitational forces on charged oil drops.

  • What did Rutherford's Gold Foil Experiment demonstrate?

    Most alpha particles passed through gold foil, but some were deflected or bounced back, showing atoms have a small, dense, positively charged nucleus surrounded by empty space.

  • What are the three parts of the nuclear atom model?

    1. Most mass and positive charge in nucleus; 2. Electrons dispersed in empty space; 3. Equal number of electrons and protons for neutrality.

  • What are neutrons?

    Neutrons are neutral particles in the nucleus with mass similar to protons but no electrical charge.

  • What defines an element?

    The number of protons in the nucleus, called the atomic number (Z), defines the element.

  • What are isotopes?

    Atoms of the same element with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.

  • How is an isotope represented?

    By the chemical symbol with the mass number (A) as a superscript and atomic number (Z) as a subscript, or by the element name followed by a dash and mass number.

  • What is atomic mass?

    Atomic mass is the weighted average mass of an element's isotopes based on their natural abundance.

  • What is a mole?

    A mole is \(6.022 \times 10^{23}\) particles, the number of atoms in exactly 12 grams of carbon-12.

  • How do you convert between moles and atoms?

    Use Avogadro's number: 1 mol = \(6.022 \times 10^{23}\) atoms.

  • What is molar mass?

    Molar mass is the mass of 1 mole of atoms of an element, numerically equal to the atomic mass in grams per mole.
