CHAPTER 4 ANSWERS (Old Book)
1. Although the number and nature of the elementary substances postulated by the ancient Greeks
were incorrect, their idea that the matter we encounter in everyday life is composed of a few
simpler substances is very similar to our modern concepts. Also, the idea that the simpler
substances might combine with each other in regular, fixed manners compares well with the
modern theory of matter.
3. Boyle��s most important contribution was his insistence that science should be firmly grounded in
experiment. Boyle tried to limit the influence of any preconceptions about science, and only
accepted as fact what could be demonstrated.
5. Oxygen is found in great abundance in the oceans (combined with hydrogen in water molecules)
and in the earth itself(most rocks and minerals are oxygen compounds).

15. a. False; most materials occur as mixtures of compounds.
b. False; a given compound always contains the same relative number of atoms of its various elements.
c. False; molecules are made up of tiny particles called atoms.
17. A compound is a distinct substance that is composed of two or more elements and always contains
exactly the same relative masses of those elements.
19. a. PCl3
b. B2H6
c. CaCl2
d. CBr4
e. Fe2O3
f. H3PO4
21. a. False; Thomson obtained beams of identical particles whose nature did not depend on what gas
was used to generate them.
b. True
c. False; the atom was envisioned as a sphere of positive charge in which negatively charged
electrons were randomly distributed.
23. protons
25. The proton and the neutron have similar (but not identical) masses. Either of these particles
has a mass approximately 2000 times greater than that of an electron.
27. 10-13cm or 10-15cm
29. False; atoms that have the same number of protons, with different numbers of neutrons,
represent isotopes.
31. the same
33. Dalton��s original theory proposed that all atoms of a given element were identical. We now
realize that different atoms of the same element must have a particular number of protons
and electons (the atomic number) but may have different numbers of neutron (leading to
different mass numbers).
