13859534130Law of Conservation of MatterMatter is not created nor destroyed in any chemical or physical change. Antoine Lavoisier0
13859540567law of constant composition (law of definite proportions)Pure chemical compound always has same percentage composition of each element by mass.1
13859550937Dalton's Atomic Theory1) elements are composed of atoms. 2) atoms of same element are identical, but differ from other elements. 3) chemical reactions are just rearrangements with whole number ratios2
13859595853Law of Multiple Proportionsif two or more different compounds are composed of the same two elements, then the ratio of the masses of the second element combined with a certain mass of the first element is always a ratio of small whole numbers3
13859612218Oil Drop ExperimentDetermined that the charge of the electron which led to calculation of mass. Robert Milikan4
13859628565Gold Foil ExperimentConducted by Ernest Rutherford in which alpha particles that were shot at gold foil were deflected when they hit the positive center of gold atoms. The nucleus was discovered as a result of this experiment. Led to nuclear model.5
13859640474Solar System ModelElectron orbits. Bohr6
13859648006The Wave Mechanical Model of the AtomModern model of the atom "Orbitals" probable location of an electron "electron cloud"7
13859661295Order Electromagnetic Spectrumradio, microwave, infrared, visible, ultraviolet, x-ray, gamma ray8
13859840592Heisenberg uncertainty principleit is impossible to know exactly both the momentum and the position of a particle at the same time (change in x times change in (mv) is less than or equal to h over (4pi).9
13859893482The p orbitals are shaped likedumbbells10
13859904672D orbital shapesFlowery11
13860176782Hund's Rulestates that single electrons with the same spin must occupy each equal-energy orbital before additional electrons with opposite spins can occupy the same orbitals12
13860179732Pauli Exclusion PrincipleAn atomic orbital may describe at most two electrons, each with opposite spin direction13
13886106685Diagonal RelationshipsLi and Mg. Be and Al. B and Si14
