  1. A and W: always add acid to water
  2. accuracy: the closeness of measurements to the correct or accepted value of the quantity measured
  3. bohr: electrons have specific spaces, orbits are elliptical like planets areound the sun, electrons give energy off when the jump back and forth between energy levels
  4. chadwick: Discovered the neutron
  5. chemical properties: ability of a substance to undergo a change that transforms it into a different substance
  6. chemical reaction: solid formed, color change, heat given off, a gas formed
  7. crooke: invented crookes tube and tested cathode rays
  8. dalton: atomic theory in 1808
  9. density: mass/volume
  10. electron: proton
  11. flammability: red msds
  12. fluid: substance that can flow and therefore take the shape of its container; a liquid or gas
  13. health: blue msds
  14. heisenberg: proposed heisenberg's uncertainty principle
  15. heisenberg's uncertainty principle: states that it is impossible to determine simultaneously both the position and velocit of an electron or any other particle
  16. isotope: atoms of the same element that have different masses
  17. millikan: oil drop experiment charge to mass ratio
  18. other warning: white msds
  19. physical properties: characteristic that can be observed or measured without changing the identity of the substance
  20. precision: a closeness of a set of measurements of the same quantity mode in the same way
  21. proton: atomic number
  22. protons and neutrons: mass number
  23. reactivity: yellow msds
  24. rutherford: discovered the nucleus in 1914. Proposed atoms are mostly empty space, atmos have a very dense positive core, electrons are found outside the dense nucleus
  25. schroninger: energy levels 1 - 7, spdf, orbitals contain 2 electrons spinning in opposite directions
  26. smallest decimal: addition and subtraction
  27. smallest# of significant digits: multiplication and division
  28. thompson: discovered the electron
  29. vapor: the process by which a liquid or solid changes to a ---> gas
