Flashcards
Dalton's Atomic Theory
Dalton's Atomic Theory
The idea that matter is made up of tiny, indivisible particles called atoms. These atoms cannot be created or destroyed, but rather rearrange during chemical reactions.
Chemical Reaction
Chemical Reaction
A process where substances change chemically, forming new substances with different properties. Signs include color changes, gas release, solid formation, and temperature shifts.
Change of State
Change of State
A change in the physical state of a substance, such as solid, liquid, or gas. No new substance is formed, only the arrangement of particles changes.

Study Notes
Dalton's Atomic Theory
- All matter is made up of tiny particles called atoms.
- Atoms are indestructible and cannot be created or destroyed.
- Atoms of an element are identical.
- In compounds, atoms of different elements join in fixed ratios.
- Atoms rearrange during chemical reactions to form new substances.
Chemical Reactions
- Signs of a chemical reaction include color change, gas production, solid formation in solution, or temperature change.
- The mass of the reactants equals the mass of the products.
- Example: Hydrogen + Chlorine → Hydrogen Chloride
Changes of State
- Changes of state are physical changes.
- No atoms are lost or gained during a physical change.
- Mass of the substance remains the same.
Elements and Symbols
- Elements are represented by unique symbols.
- Each symbol starts with a capital letter.
- Additional letters, if needed, are lowercase.
- Examples: Nitrogen (N), Lithium (Li), Chlorine (Cl), Iron (Fe), etc.
Metals and Non-metals
- Metals: Generally high melting point, shiny, malleable, ductile, good conductors of heat and electricity.
- Non-metals: Generally low melting point, dull, brittle, poor conductors of heat and electricity.
Atoms in a Compound
- Chemical formulas show the ratio of atoms in a compound.
- Example: Water (Hâ‚‚O)
Periodic Table
- Elements are organized in order of atomic number (number of protons).
- Elements in the same group have similar properties.
- Elements in the same period show trends in properties.
Metal and Non-metal Oxides
- Many metals react with oxygen to form metal oxides (e.g., calcium + oxygen → calcium oxide).
- Metal oxides usually form alkaline solutions when reacted with water.
- Non-metals react with oxygen to form nonmetal oxides (e.g., carbon + oxygen → carbon dioxide).
- Non-metal oxides usually form acidic solutions when reacted with water.
