2 - Atoms, Reactions, Bonding And Structure Flashcards
Define binary compound
A compound containing two elements only
Define Polyatomic ion
An ion containing more than one atom
What happens when a ionic substance dissolves in water
Positive and negative ions separate and become hydrated.
In reactions involving ionic compounds dissolving in water some ions may not be involved.
What are they called
Spectator ions
Acid + hydroxide
Ionic equation
H+ (aq) + OH- (aq). —> H2O(l)
Acid carbonate (ionic equation)
2 H+ (aq) + CO3 2- (aq). —> H20 (l) + CO2 (g)
Acid + hydrogen carbonate
(Ionic equation)
H+ (aq) + HCO3 - (aq) —> H2O(l) + CO2 (g)
Acid + ammonia
(Ionic equation)
H+ (aq) + NH3 (aq) —> NH4+ (aq)
Substance + oxygen -?
Oxides
Metal + water — ?
Metal hydroxide + hydrogen
Metal + acid —
Salt + hydrogen
Oxide +acid —
Salt + water
Hydroxide + acid —?
Salt + water
Carbonate + acid —?
Salt + water + carbon dioxide
Ammonia + acid —?
Ammonium salt
Metal carbonate on heating —?
Metal oxide + carbon dioxide
What is avogadros constant
6.02 x 10^23 mol-1
Why was avogadros number chosen
So that the mass of one mole of particles of a substance equals the mr in grams.
Define isotopes
– Atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons and different masses. Isotopes have the same atomic number but a different mass number
Isotopes always have- — - - - - chemical reactions as they have - - - - - electron configuration but physical properties like density may be — - - - -
The same
The same
Different
What can make an isotope radioactive
Sometimes the extra neutrons make the nucleus big and unstable
Isotopes of an element always have the…..
same atomic number but a different mass number due to having extra neutrons in the nuclei.
Relative atomic mass
The weighted mean mass of an atom of an element relative to one twelfth of the mass of an atom of carbon-12
Relative isotopic mass
the mass of an isotope relative to one twelfth of the mass of an atom of carbon-12
