1.2 - The Nuclear Atom Flashcards
Where are nucleons located in the atom?
In the nucleus of the atom.
Where are electrons located in the atom?
In the energy levels of the atom.
What are the order of energy levels?
s < p < d < f
Explain the nuclear notation
What are isotopes?
Atoms with the same atomic number (Z) and different mass number (A).
Do isotopes of an element have the same physical and chemical properties?
They have different physical properties and the same chemical properties. Boiling/melting point and density all increase with increased mass number.
What is the relative atomic mass formula? (Ar)
What is the relative intensity?
The amount of an ion produced in relation to the most abundant ion, known as the base peak.
What is the relative atomic mass formula using relative intensity? (Ar)
What is relative abundance?
Relative abundance is the percent abundance in nature of a particular isotope.
