Where is the Atomic Number on your periodic table?
Above the chemical symbol.
If you are working with Carbon Dioxide or Carbon Monoxide, what division of chemistry are you working in?
Organic Chemistry.
What element has the lightest atoms?
Hydrogen
What is the atomic number?
Number of protons in an element.
What is the degree of error in a 50ml and 100ml graduated cylinder?
nearest ml
What group of people are credited with the beginnings of modern chemistry?
The Alchemists of the 1600s who tried to turn any metal into gold.
If your goal is to create new elements, what division of chemistry are you working in?
Nuclear Chemistry
Can atoms have the same number of neutrons but different numbers of protons? Explain
Yes, you could have isotopes of two different elements.
What is the Mass Number?
Sum of the protons and neutrons.
If you are working with amino acids or proteins, what division of chemistry are you working in ?
Biochemistry.
Where is the mass number on your periodic table.
Trick Question......
There is no mass number on your periodic table. You have atomic mass on your periodic table below each chemical symbol but the atomic mass, while similar, is different from the mass number.
If you are working with Iron Oxide (FeO), what division of chemistry are you workin in?
Inorganic Chemistry
Look up at Mr. Breitenfeld. Is what he just did considered chemistry?
Chemistry is the study of materials, including the altering of them. Ripping, crumpling a piece of paper would classify as chemistry.
What are Isotopes?
Atoms of the same element who have different numbers of neutrons.
What did Robert Milliken contribute to chemistry?
Discovered the charge of a single electron. Combined with J.J. Thomson's charge/mass ratio scientists were able to calculate the weight of a single electron.
What is an example of Chemistry causing large scale change throughout human history? Be specific.
Chemistry is altering of materials. Stone Age allowed humans to make better tools and settle instead of being nomads.
Bronze Age allowed even better tools and led to first permanent civilizations.
Iron Age created great political change by sparking more and more wars because of iron weapons.
Microchips made from silicon have created computers, phones, and all sorts of other technology that has greatly altered the world.
If you are trying to figure out which elements are more reactive, have larger atomic nuclei, have higher electronegativity, etc., what division of chemistry are you working in?
Analytical Chemistry
This question is also worth 1,000 points because it is hard. Good luck :)
Out of Dalton's four postulates he published with his atomic theory, what is the only one that is not true?
2. All elements of a given element are identical, but different from other elements.
We know now there are Isotopes which are atoms of the same element with different number of neutrons.
What are Significant figures?
All the values you know for certain plus one point of estimation.
How was the AMU established?
Scientists looked at the hydrogen atom and determined it had the lightest atoms and they based the weight of those atoms as the basis for the AMU.
Why is Chemistry often called "The Central Science"?
Chemistry is used in almost all branches of science. At some level almost all economic activity or business will require knowledge of a chemist.
If you are working in thermodynamics or kinetics, what division of chemistry are working in?
Physical Chemistry
This question is worth 1,500 points because it is hard. Good luck :)
What were John Dalton's four postulates he published with his atomic theory?
1. Each element is made up of extremely small particles called atoms that are the smallest unit of matter.
2. All atoms of a given element are identical, but different from other elements.
3. Atoms are neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction.
4. A given compound always has the same relative number and kinds of atoms.
Define all three for the points: Proton, Neutron, and Electron.
Proton: Positively charged subatomic particle found within the nucleus.
Neutron: Subatomic particle with no charge that is found within the nucleus.
Electron: Negatively charged particle with no charge that is found outside the nucleus.
The archer is both precise and accurate since his pattern is all in the bullseye.
