neutral
42
Q

name the circular fields around the atom’s nucleus?
what makes the nucleus?
how many electrons maximum in the first circular field called…?
how many electrons maximum in each consecutive circular field after the first one called ….?

A

energy level (shell)
proton and neutron
2
8

43
Q

name the electrons in the outer energy field (shell)?

A

valence electrons

44
Q

iso
top
isotopes

A

same
place
variety of elements with same position in periodic table

45
Q

difference of elements with same position in periodic table?

A

number of neutrons and therefor the atomic mass

46
Q

what physical difference exists between isotopes?
what are they called?
what happens to them?
what is that process called?

A

unstable isotopes
radioisotopes
braking down into more stable isotopes
radioactivity

47
Q

how many minimum isotopes for each element?

A

1

48
Q

what is ionising radiation?

A

high energy radiation ejecting neutrons from atoms,

converting them into ions

49
Q

what is an ion?
cation?
anion?

A

an atom with an unequal number of electrons and protons and consequently a either negative or positive charge.

an atom which gained more electrons and now has more electrons than protons, hence is now negatively charged.

an atom which lost electrons and now has less electrons than protons, hence is now positively charged.

50
Q

Explain the process when a sodium atom which has 11 electrons meets a chlorine atom which has 17 electrons?

A

The sodium atom will have 3 shells the first with 2 electrons, the second with 8 electrons an the third with 1 valence electron. The chlorine atom will have 3 shells, the first with 2 electrons, the second with 8 electrons and the third with 7 valence electrons. When both atoms interact the chlorine atom with 7 electrons will become stable by adding the 1 valence electron from the sodium atom to its outer shell and becomes now an imbalanced and negatively charged ion Cl-. The sodium atom looses the one valence electron in its outer shell and becomes an imbalanced ion with a positive charge Na+.

51
Q

What is the charge on an ion called?

A

valence

52
Q

what are opposite charged ions doing?

A

are attracted to each other and follow each other through the body

53
Q

what are electrolytes?

A

Substances which ionise in water and form solutions capable of conducting electricity.

54
Q

why are electrolytes important?

A

for their chemical reactivity, osmotic effects and electrical effects
