Atomic structure Flashcards
Definition of isotopes
atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons
Definition of isotonic
2 elements that have the same number of neutrons but different numbers of protons
What caused the big jump in a graph measuring the energy level of the subshells
Changing of principal quantum number
Why greater the principal quantum number the greater energy level
The further away from the nucleus, the greater the force of attraction you need to overcome
Aufbau principal
electrons occupy orbitals in terms of increasing energy level, with the lowest energy levels being filled first
Pauli Exclusion principal
An orbital cannot hold more than 2 electrons and these 2 electrons must have opposite spins
Formula for angle of deflection
charge/mass
Hund’s rule
the orbitals of a subshell must be occupied singularly with parallel spins before they can be occupied in pairs
Atomic number
Number of protons
Mass number
Number of nucleons (protons+neutrons)
