F.

A. Cerca 500 BC
B. The Alchemists
C. Alchemy is the art of understanding, deconstucting and reconscruction of matter.
D. By breaking down the chemical compositions of the 4 basic elements of its period, Fire, Earth, Wind
and Water eventually evolved into the modern Periodic table we use today.

G.

A. 1688
B. Robert Boyle
C. Emphasized the importance of experiments and precise measurements.
D. “Any substance that can be broken into 2 or more substances is not an element.”

1
H.

A. between 1772 and 1794

B. Antoine Lavoisier
C. 1.“Atoms are neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction.”
2. “Elements are indivisible particles which have found no means of separating.”
D. Transformed of chemistry from a qualitative science into a quantitative one.

I.

A. 1794
B. Joseph-Louis Proust
C. "A chemical compound always contains the same elements combined together in the
same proportion by mass."
D. A compound is composed of exact proportions of elements by mass regardless of how
the compound was created.

2
J.

A.1803
B. John Dalton
C. 1. Atoms of the same element are exactly alike , and atoms of different elements are
different.
2. Atoms join with other atoms to make new substances.
D. All substances are made up of atoms.

K.

a. 1890s
b. Joseph John Thompson
c. electrons and their role in atoms.
d. 1. Plum pudding
2. experiments examining discharges of electricity in gases.
3
L.

a. 1911
b. Ernest Rutherford
c. postulated the nuclear structure of the atom,
d. remarkable series of discoveries in the fields of radioactivity and nuclear physics.
 discovered alpha and beta rays
 set forth the laws of radioactive decay
 identified alpha particles as helium nuclei

M.

a. 1913
b. Niels Bohr
c. The theory for the hydrogen atom based on quantum theory that energy is
transferred only in certain well defined quantities.

4
 d. electrons travel in separate orbits around the nucleus and that the number of electrons in
the outer orbit determines the properties of an element.

N.

a. 1926
b. Erwin Schrödinger
c. used mathematical equations to describe the likelihood of finding an electron in a certain
position.
d. developed the “Electron Cloud Model” in 1926. It consisted of a dense nucleus
surrounded by a cloud of electrons at various levels in orbitals.

5
O.

a. 1932
b. James Chadwick
c. discovered the Neutron in atoms. Neutrons are located in the center of an atom, in the
nucleus along with the protons.
d. James Chadwick bombarded beryllium atoms with alpha particles. An unknown
radiation was produced. Chadwick interpreted this radiation as being composed of

particles with a neutral electrical charge and the approximate mass of a proton.
