Molar mass measured in vs atom
g/mol is molar mass as you can measure it yourself. A singular atom is measured in amu as it is very small
Bohr’s model
Full electron diagram for atom showing protons, neutrons and electrons and energy shells
Cations
Metal ions, want to loose electrons. Have a low first ionisation energy, loose electrons to become positive.
First Ionisation energy
energy required to remove the outer most electron from an atom.
Group on the periodic table - dictate
Vertical columns that indicate how many electrons are in the valance shell of atoms.
Period number of an element
Rows on the periodic table. Tells us how many electron shells atoms have.
Atomic radius
Distance between the nucleus and the valance shell.
Electronegativity
Ability of an atom to attract electrons.
Down a group atomic radius
- atomic radius increases as more electron shells
Electrostatic attraction
Force of attraction between electrically charged particles due to their opposite charges
Across a period atomic radius
- Atomic radius decreases as more proteins means stronger charge of nucleus that pulls electrons in tighter
Across a period 1st IE
- 1st IE increases as it is harder to loose e as the nuclear charge is acting over a shorter distance so energy required to remove an e increases
Across a period electronegativity
- increases excluding group 18 as the nuclear charge increases as more protons in nucleus so increased attraction to electrons
Down a group 1st IE
- 1st IE decreases as decrease in electrostatic attraction
Down a group electronegativity
- decreases as the atomic radius increases so decrease in electrostatic attraction so less attraction to electrons
Reactivity - position on period table
Elements that are more reactive gain/loose electrons more easily to have a stable electron configuration. Non metals in group 17 and metals in group 1 and 2.
Properties of elements in the same group
Same number valence e, same charged ions, same bonding capability
Properties of elements in the same period
Same number of electron shells
Isotopes definition
Atoms of the same element (same number of protons) but differing numbers of neutrons. C-12, C-13, C-14
Isotope properties
Same chemical properties (reactivity and charge of ions) but different physical properties (density, mass and melting point)
Same chemical properties
same chemical properties react similarly in chemical reactions. Atoms in the same group have same chemical properties.
Same physical properties
same physical properties exhibit similar characteristics related to their physical state or appearance or mpt/bpt
Mass spec
Separates isotopes based on their mass. It is a technique that identifies which isotopes are present as well as their abundance. Determines the relative atomic mass of elements.
