History of Chemistry
Across
- 2. Modern developed version of Crooke’s tube.
- 4. Used by Millikan by creating a known electrical charge on a drop of oil with known mass.
- 10. Concerned with transforming base elements into gold from the time of Aristotle until first half of 1700s.
- 12. The negatively charged particle of an atom located outside of the nucleus.
- 13. Established that the periodic table is arranged by atomic number not atomic mass.
- 14. Discovered oxygen by heating mercury(II) oxide in 1774.
- 18. Discovered that atoms contained smaller negative particles, electrons, using a Crooke’s or cathode ray tube.
- 21. Experimental setup used by Rutherford, shooting alpha particles through a gold foil.
- 24. Determined that an atom has a small dense positively charge center and is mostly empty space, 1911.
- 27. Discovered radioactivity.
- 29. Named oxygen. Established the law of conservation of mass.
- 30. Thought everything was made of four elements, earth, fire, water, and air.
- 31. Discovered the neutron.
Down
- 1. (Geber) Arabic alchemist who developed many tools and procedures used by early chemists.
- 3. A particle made up of two protons and two neutrons, in other words, the necleus of a helium atom.
- 5. The positively charged particle of an atom located in the nucleus.
- 6. Established that science should be based on experimentation, observation, and measurements.
- 7. John Dalton’s model of the atom, small, indivisible, solid particles.
- 8. Thomson’s model of the atom. A cloud of positive charge with electrons embedded in it.
- 9. Rutherford’s model of the atom. A small, dense, positive core surrounded by electrons in orbits.
- 11. Vacuum tube used to investigate electrical discharges in gas.
- 15. Discovered polonium and radium, radium in 1898. The ONLY person to receive Nobel prizes in two sciences.
- 16. The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom.
- 17. Introduced the word, atomos, meaning uncuttable. Thought matter was made of atomos particles.
- 19. Established the law of multiple proportions. Proposed the atomic theory in 1804.
- 20. First modern chemist. Discovered the relationship between pressure and volume of gases – Boyle’s Law.
- 22. The small dense core of an atom where all of the positive charge exists.
- 23. Established the law of definite proportions.
- 25. Discovered and isolated the nobel gases. Discovered alpha particles.
- 26. Created the modern periodic table in 1869.
- 28. Determined the mass of an electron using the oil drop experiment.
