6705385284percent compositionmass of element / mass of compound x 1000
6705385285empirical formulasimplest ratio of a compound1
6705385286molecular formulaactual formula for a substance2
6705385287Aufbau principleelectrons occupy lowest available energy level3
6705385288Pauli Exclusion Principlewithin an atom no 2 e- can have the same set of quantum numbers; if an orbital has 2 e-, they must have different spins4
6705385289Hund's Rulewhen an e- is added to a subshell, it will always occupy an empty orbital if avaliable5
6705385293Bohr Model-electrons are present in specific energy levels -when e- gain energy, they move up energy levels, while e- release energy as they move down6
6705385297kinetic energyenergy of motion7
6705385300John Dalton-proposed 5 different postulates of atomic theory said there are different types of atoms, called elements -elements combine, forming compounds -compounds have the same ratio of elements -atoms are never created or destroyed in chemical reactions8
6705385301J.J. Thomson-cathode ray experiment -put forth plum pudding model9
6705385303Rutherford-gold foil experiment→discovered nucleus10
6705385317polar covalent bond-e- are unequally shared b/c atoms have different electronegativities11
6705385321dipole-dipole force-positive end of one polar molecule attracted to negative end of another -low melting/boiling points12
6705385328VSEPR Model-model used to predict molecular geometry13
6705385341Kinetic Molecular TheoryPressure is caused by collisions of particles with walls 3. Particles don't attract/repel each other 4. Avg. kinetic energy = 1.5R/T14
6705385348synthesis reactiona+b=ab15
6705385349decomposition reactionab= a + b16
6705385350acid-base reactionHCl + NaOH → H₂O + NaCl17
6705385351oxidation-reduction (redox) reactionCu²⁺ + 2e- → Cu18
6705385354solubility rules-compounds w/ an alkali metal are soluble -compounds w/ an NH₄⁺ are soluble -compounds w/ an NO₃⁻ are soluble19
6705385414how to find pH-log[H⁺]20
6705385444sublimationsolid to gas21
6705385445Boyle's LawP₁V₁=P₂V₂22
6705385449[H⁺] == 10^-pH23
