Answer 1

proton plus the number of neutrons in the nucleus of the atom

Question 2

line spectrum (hydrogen atom)

Answer 2

only certain wavelengths/colors of light becasue it is produced by excited atoms and ions as they fall back from an energy level higher than n=2 to n=2 in the visible regions

Question 3

continuous spectrum

Answer 3

showing an unbroken sequence of all wavelength/colors of light such as the spectrum of visible light.

Question 4

a) define hydrogen emssion spectrum
b)describe how the emission spectrum of an element arises

Answer 4

Consist of 4 series of lines. photons emitted from atoms as excited electrons go from a higher energy level to a lower energy level. Electron transition or the distance between two energy levels corresponds to discrete/certain colors/wavelength/frequencies of visible light.

Multiple photons are emitted by a sinlge atom as the electron moves between different energy levels forming a complete emission spectrum

Question 12

Mass spectrometer

Answer 12

A mass spectrometer separates individual isotopes from a sample of atoms and determines the mass of each isotope. Magnetic field makes different deflections depending on mass and average percentage abundance. # hits in the detector quantifies and shows relative percentage isotopes. Carbon isotope 12C was chosen as a standard, and it was given a relative mass of exactly 12.

Question 13

How can relative atomic mass of a sample be determined from mass spectrum

Answer 13

a. Multiply relative intensity by m/z value of isotopes
b. Find frequency of each isotopes
c. Calculatae the weighted average

Question 14

Gold foil experiment

Answer 14

Positive alpha particles hit positive particles of the gold-foil. Prove that atoms are empty space with tiny dense positively charged nucleus.

Question 15

State chemical and physical properties of isotopes

Answer 15

• Chemical properties depend on the outer shell of electrons. Since isotopes still have the same number of electrons, these
  properties will remain the same
• Physical properties depend on their nuclei. Since the number of neutrons changes, properties such as density, rate of diffusion, melting, and boiling change. The mass will also change.

Question 16

radioactive isotopes

Answer 16

Force inside the nucleus called the binding energy holds protons together. When isotopes have more/less neutrons (radioactive isotopes) they undergo radioactive decay by releasing nucleons and alpha particles (energy) to reach a stable state.

After half life, radioactive isotopes have decayed

Question 17

What are the impacts of radioactive isotopes

Answer 17

cell destruction, cancer, genetic mutation

Question 18

What does the horizontal line of M/Z value on mass spectra represent

Answer 18

The horizontal axis shows the mass/charge ratio of the different ions on the carbon- 12 scale, which in most cases can be considered equivalent to their mass. The percentage abundance of the ions is shown on the vertical scale.

Question 19

atomic mass formula

Answer 19

Question 20

atomic number

Answer 20

the number of protons in the nucleus. Since atoms are electrically neutral, the number of protons is also equal to the number of electrons

Question 21

Bohr model

Answer 21

1)higher the energy level the further away the electron is from the nucleus, and the higher the energy

2) Energy in discrete energy levels

3) electrons absorb energy they move up to a higher energy level. This is called the excited state. When the electron returns to a lower energy (ground state) level. They emit photons or energy.

4) energy level coverage/get closer with distance from the nucleus (ionization energy)

Question 22

What did the emission spectrum prove?

Answer 22

The line emission spectrum of hydrogen provides evidence for the existence of electrons in discrete energy levels
The energy of the lines on the emission spectrum of hydrogen corresponds to the difference in energies between energy
levels

Question 24

Ultraviolet light (Lyman series)

Answer 24

lines of the hydrogen atom that result from electron transitions from higher levels down to the energy where energy level where n=1 *highest energy difference *higher energy/photon *shorter wavelength *less frequency

Question 25

Infrared light (Paschen)

Answer 25

lines of the hydrogen atom that result from electron transitions from higher levels down to the energy where energy level where n=3 *lowest energy difference *lower energy/photon *longer wavelength *lower frequency

Question 26

properties of wave

Answer 26

a) the speed of the wave is constant (C=3.0x10^8ms^-1) but the wavelength is different. Wavelength is the amount of energy released during electron transition b)waves have amplitude c)waves gives of electrical property and magnetic property

Question 28

wavelength

Answer 28

The distance between two successive crests (or troughs) is called the wavelength ( λ). The frequency (f) of the wave is the number of waves that pass a point in one second. The wavelength and frequency are related by the equation c= fλ where c is the speed of light.
