Study Notes
Phlogiston Theory
- A 17th-century scientific theory explaining combustion and oxidation.
- Developed by J.J. Becher.
- Proposed four elements: earth, air, fire, and water.
- Sulphur was believed to be the substance causing combustion.
- Suggested all matter contains a 'phlogiston' - a fatty, defining substance.
Atoms
- Basic building blocks of matter.
- Composed of three subatomic particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons.
- Nucleus: The central region containing protons and neutrons.
- Electron Cloud: The region surrounding the nucleus where electrons are located.
Atomic Structure Models
-
Rutherford's Atomic Model:
- Atoms have a positively charged central nucleus.
- Electrons orbit the nucleus.
- Most of the atom's volume is empty space.
-
Thomson's Atomic Model (Plum Pudding):
- Proposed in 1904
- Negatively charged electrons are embedded in a positively charged substance.
Isotopes
- Atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons.
- Have the same number of protons but vary in mass.
- Example: Carbon-12, Carbon-13, and Carbon-14.
- Isotopes have the same chemical properties but can differ in reaction rates.
Gases
- Possess mass, contrary to their seemingly weightless appearance.
- Classified as matter.
- Gas density is significantly lower than liquid or solid density.
Electronegativity
- Atoms' ability to attract electrons when bonded.
- Nonmetals have higher electronegativity.
- Metals have lower electronegativity.
- Electronegativity increases across a period and decreases down a group on the periodic table.
- Noble gases are unreactive due to their complete valence electron shells.
