atomic structure Flashcards
what is it and where does metallic bonding occur?
-in metallic elements and alloys
-no transferring or sharing of electrons
-atoms have weak attraction
-everything is attracted
metallic bonding structure
-can only form lattices (positive ions surrounded by delocalized electrons)
-atoms have weak attraction so they from delocalized electrons
metallic bonding properties
high mpt/bpt: strong electrostatic forces(more delocalized e-s the higer the mpt/bpt)
malleable, cations can move around without breaking the electrostatic forces
can conduct because delocalized e-s can move around(not as a gas)
insoluble in all solvents (can react)
identifying bonding and structure
-conductivity as a solid:
yes, metallic or graphite
no, ionic, covalent
-solubility in water:
yes, ionic(exceptions)
no, covalent(exceptions), metallic
-solubility in oils:
yes, covalent(discrete)(exceptions)
no, ionic, covalent (lattice)
-MPT:
yes, covalent discrete
no, ionic, covalent lattice, metallic
-conductivity liquid:
yes, ionic, metallic
no, covalent
-conductivity aquose:
yes, ionic
no, covalent, metallic, ionics that are insoluble
how do ionic substances have specific properties?
by the type of particles and forces present
when does ionic bonding occur
between oppositely charged ions
what is ionic bonding
when a compound contains at least one metal and one non-metal
bonding
describes the way that particles “join” together
structure
describes the 3D arrangement of particles as a result if bonding
covalent bonding
occurs between atoms of 2 non-metals.
the non-metals can be the same (element) or they can be different (compound)
the atoms share a electron
what is an atom
smallest unit of matter that retains its properties
what are subatomic particles
the 3 fundamental particles that constitute atoms:
proton, neutron, electron
particles and their relative mass and charge
proton: 1, +1
neutron: 1,0
electron: 1/1836, -1
atomic number
number of protons, definition of an element, the periodic table is listed in order of number of protons.
atoms are…
neutral, therefore number of protons = number of electrons
mass number
number of protons + no of neutrons
neutrons
mass number - atomic number
relative mass of 1
relative charge of 0
isotopes
-atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons
-they have identical chemical properties, they have similar but different physical properties
element
a substance made of atoms with the same number of protons
pure
only an element present (same protons)
