2.1 Atoms & Reactions Flashcards
Names in order of those involved in the history of the atom?
Dalton JJ Thomson Rutherford(& Marsden) Bohr Chadwick
What was stated in Dalton’s atomic theory? (4)
- Atoms are tiny particles made of elements
- Atoms cannot be divided
- All the atoms in a element are the same
- Atoms of one element are different to those of other elements
What did Thompson discover about electrons? (3)
- They have a negative charge
- They have very small mass
- They can be deflected by magnet and electric field
Explain the plum pudding model
Atoms are made up of negative electrons moving around in a sea of positive charge
What were Rutherford’s proposal after the gold leaf experiment? (3)
- Most of the mass and positive charge of the atom are in the nucleus
- Electrons orbit the nucleus
- Overall positive and negative charges must balance
What’s an Isotope?
Atoms of the same element with different number of neutrons
Why does different isotopes of the same element react in the same way?
- Neutrons have no impact on the chemical reactivity
* Reactions involve electrons, isotopes have the same number of electrons in the same arrangement
What’s an Ion?
Charged particles formed when atoms lose or gain electrons
Define relative atomic mass
The weighted mean mass of an atom of an element compared with one twelfth of the mass of an atom of carbon -12
Define relative isotopic mass
The mass of an atom of an isotope compared with one twelfth of the mass of an atom of carbon-12
What’s the unit and symbol for ‘Amount of substance’?
n, Mole or mol
What is Avogadro’s constant?
6.22*10^23
the number of atoms per mol of n isotope of carbon 12
Equation for mol?
Mass(g) / MR
Define empirical formula
Simplest whole number ratio of atoms of each element present in a compound
How would ya calculate empirical formula? (3)
- find mole ratio of each substance
- divide each ratio by smallest number
- multiply to make sure all ratios integers
what’s Avogadro’s law?
At room temperature and pressure a mole of any gas would occupy the same space (24dm3)
At room temperature an pressure(RTP) the volume of a gas is….
n=v/24
or
n=v/24,000
*depending on if V is in dm3 or cm3
What’s the ideal gas equation?
pV=nRT
