1973901629Significant FiguresNumber of digits in a figure that express the precision of a measurement instead of its magnitude. Record one decimal place farther than what is marked.0
1973901630determining significant figuresevery nonzero number is significant zeroes appearing between nonzero numbers are significant zeroes to left of significant digit are nonsignificant zeroes to right and after decimal place are always significant zeroes to the right but not before a decimal place are nonsignificant1
1973901631adding and subtracting significant figuresthe answer should due rounded off so as to contain the same number of decimal places as the number with the least number of decimal places. In other words, an answer can be only as precise as the number with the least precision.2
1973901632multiplying and dividing significant figuresthe answer should be rounded off to contain the same number of digits as found in the LEAST precise of the values.3
1973901633Accuracyhow close a measurement is to the actual value %error= |experimental -actual value| ------------------------ x100 actual value4
1973901634PrecisionHow close measurements are to each other (how fr away from each other) %difference=|experimental value-average value| ------------------------------ x100 average value5
1973901635Atomos ModelCreated by John Dalton (1802), JJ thompson, Ruthford, bohr evidence: law of conservation of mass, law of definite pre portions, law of multiple proportions Conclusions: -All matter is composed of atoms -Atoms of an element are identical -Atoms of different elements are different from each other -Compounds form by combining atoms in small whole # ratios -Chemical reactions occur by combining the same atoms in a different way6
1973901636Plum pudding modelCreated by JJ Thompson (1904) and Robert milikan (1911) Evidence: Cathode ray tube, oil drop experiment Conclusion: all atoms contain the same small, negative charged particle (mass/charge). the particle's charge is 1.6x10⁻¹⁹.7
1973901637Cathode ray tubeResults: -beam travels from cathode to anode -spinning pinwheel shows that the beam has mass -bending of beam shows that it is negatively charged -radius of curvature exposes the ratio of particles Thompson changes the cathode materials and gas inside tube. Same mass/charge ratio regardless of construction Conclusion: All atoms contain the same small, negatively charged particles JJ thompson couldn't find the ratio of mass to charge (continues with oil drop experiment)8
1973901638Oil drop experimentCreated by robert millikan (1911) Procedure: -measures radius of oil drops -determines charge on oil drops -all oil droplets had different charges Results: Oil drops all have a charge that is a multiple of a small # Conclusion: Atoms contain a small negative particle whose charge is 1.6x10⁻¹⁹ C.9
