1.2 Basic Idea about Atoms Flashcards

1
Q

Show alpha emission towards an element?

A

Well it changes to an entirely new element
Atomic mass is minused by 4
Atomic number is minused by 2

The alpha particle produced = 4, 2 He^2+

Q

Show beta emission towards an element?

A

Ig they all change to an entirely new element
Atomic mass stays the same however
Atomic number increased by 1 cuz

Beta particle is an electron = B-

Q

Explain positron emission

A

aka beta plus decay
(when proton inside nucleus = neutron + positron <- positive electron)
Electron neutrino also emitted

e.g.
23,12Mg –> 23,11Na + 0,+1e + 0,0v <– greek edition

Q

Explain electron capture

A
  1. Nucleus absorbs inner-shell electron
  2. Electron + proton = neutron
  3. Electron neutrino emitted
  4. Inner shell electron vacancy replaced by electron from outer shell
  5. Excess energy of falling electron sometimes emitted as X-ray
  6. This is auger emission
  7. Sometimes excess energy of falling electron carried away by outer electron being emitted
  8. Daughter isotope produced will then form as positive ion

or just look at page 5….

e.g.
81,36Kr + 0,-1e -> 81,35Br + 0,0v <– greek edition

Q

Where will alpha go in that magnetic field

A

Down (-ve) Cuz it got 2+ charge but Mr of 4 = weakly deflected

Q

Explain effects of radiation towards atoms complexingly?

(3 steps)

A
  1. Ionizing radiation enough energy to remove electrons
  2. From atoms that make up the tissues n stuff
  3. Breaks chemical bonds

Ima stick with that

Q

Explain Radio-Carbon Dating

A

Carbon-14 dating used to determine age of certain stuff.

Has half life of 5700 years

Doesn’t decay easily so ye ig?

but it’s also how strong their attractive force is between electrons

Q

What may usually control i.e

A

The distance of an electron from the nucleus

20
Q

Explain electron shielding

A

When first electron in shell is more further away from nucleus

Cuz more protection from nuclear charge by inner electron shells

21
Q

If electron shell further away from nucleus, i.e will?

A

Become smaller

22
Q

Definition of electron shielding?

A

The repulsion between electrons in different shells.

23
Q

If shielding increases, effective nuclear charge ??? & I.E ????

A

They both decrease

24
Q

If nuclear charge increase and shielding the same, I.E ???

A

Increases

25
Q

Which way on the periodic table shows increase in shielding?

A

Down the group

26
Q

Which way on periodic table shows increase in nuclear charge?

A

The right of period

27
Q

If u want, look at page 18 cuz it looks kinda freebie

A

Sure

28
Q

Define successive ionisation energies

A

Measure of energy needed to remove each electron in turn
Until all electrons removed from an atom

29
Q

Why more energy to remove second electron from positive ion?

A

Cuz greater effective nuclear charges as each electron removed.

30
Q

How to write 2nd ionisation energy equation for Mg?

A

Mg+ -> Mg2+ + e-

31
Q

In an orbital, 2 electrons spin in?

A

Opposite directions

32
Q

What does the S-orbital look like?

A

A circle

33
Q

What does Px-orbital look like?

A

Infinity symbol

34
Q

What does Py-orbital look like?

A

Peanut

35
Q

What does Pz-orbital look like?

A

Hourglass diagonal

36
Q

What order of the orbitals for elemental configuration?

A

1s
2s
2p
3s
3p
4s

Complex part?
3d
4p

37
Q

Max electrons in 1 s-orbital?

A

2

38
Q

Max electrons in 3 p-orbitals?

A

6

39
Q

Max electrons in 5 d-orbitals?

A

10

40
Q

What’s also the other method of writing electronic configuration?

A

Letter edition?
e.g.
For [Ne]:
1s^2, 2s^2, 2p^6

There’s also another additional thing for noble gases only but idk risk for the bisc

^ wow that was so few weeks ago

41
Q

Just to state u might’ve lost marks for the in-depth detail of electronic configuration

A

Yeah… ig u right

42
Q

Explain emission spectrum for da electronic movement

A

From excited state to n=2/balmer series

43
Q

Explain absorption spectrum for da electronic movement

A

Electron promoted to excited state from n=2/Balmer series

44
Q

I’d probably just keep the booklet on page 34 cuz we reached a new level of studying

A

Is it worth being concerned or nah

45
Q

What energy level do electrons in visible spectrum all fall back to?

A

n=2 AKA BALMER SERIES

46
Q

Page 35 and onwards, lets continue the experimentation of studying

A

alright!
