5.1 bio Flashcards
isotope
each of two or more forms of the same element that contain equal numbers of protons but different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei,
Which charges attract or repel
opposite charges attract
same charges repel
The relationship between coulombic attraction and amount of charge
The size of the charges on the ions makes a difference in the coulombic attraction. The ions with a larger charge will attract more opposite charged ions towards itself compared to ions with a smaller charge.
The relationship between coulombic attraction and distance
the greater the nuclear charge (q₁) and the shorter the distance between the nucleus and the outermost electron (r), the stronger the attraction between the nucleus and the electron.
Definition of electronegativity
Electronegativity is defined as the tendency of an atom participating in a covalent bond to attract the bonding electrons.
atomic mass
protons + neutrons
ion charge
protons- electrons
of neutrons
mass-protons
isotope in scientific research
They emit different levels of raidiation
higher electronegativity
highest- flourine
lowest- cesium
Pick which atom has a stronger or weaker attraction for valence electrons and explain why
stronger- amount of protons in the nucleus
weaker- distance from the nucleus.
