Q

Describe electron arrangement of electrons around nucleus

A

Move in relatively large space, often called electron cloud, outside nucleus
As negatively charged, kept moving around nucleus by attractive electrostatic forces, between them and +vly charged nucleus.
In unchanged atom, number of protons = number of electrons.

Q

As shell number increases

A

so does amount of energy electrons contain

30
Q

What is max number of electrons in each shell?

A

2n squared

n= shell number

31
Q

Electron configuration discrepencies

A

K-19 electrons
2, 8, 8, 1
Ca-20 electrons
2, 8, 8, 2

32
Q

Define excited state

A

Sometimes electrons can move to a higher shell when they do they a called excited and have gained energy

33
Q

Define ground state

A

Non excited electrons

34
Q

How can periodic table be used to determine number of valence electrons?

A

1) in each vertical group all elements have same number of valence electrons
2) in a row number of valence electrons increase from one to 8 from left to right

35
Q

Define electron dot diagrams?

A

Simple diagrams used to represent the number of valence electrons of each element

36
Q

Define Octet Rule

A

when other elements react to form bonds they do so in such a way as to obtain an inert gas electron arrangement

37
Q

Define atomic absorption spectroscopy

A

A technique used to measure concentration of metal irons in solution
Monitor purity of substances in industry and substances such as air, water and food.

38
Q

What does atomic absorption spectroscopy do?

A

Detect very small quantities of metal ion ppm

39
Q

How does atomic absorption spectroscopy work?

A

Lamp shines light of specific wavelength emitted by excited metal ion being tested
Amount of light absorbed by sample related to concentration of metal ion present
Detector analysis before and after sample is tested displays concentration reading on computer

40
Q

Higher concentration of metals…?

A

more light will be absorbed

41
Q

Define isotope

A

Different atoms of element which have same number of protons but different number of neutrons

42
Q

Describe isotopes mass number

A

These atoms would have same atomic number but different mass numbers

43
Q

How would you expect a molecule of hydrogen made of tritium (H-3) to react with oxygen

A

All isotopes of same element react similarly

44
Q

Relative atomic mass equation?

A

Sum of (% abundance x relative atomic mass of each isotope) /100

45
Q

Eg of relative atomic mass equation?

A

B-10: 20%
B-11: 80%
(20% x 10) + (80% x 11)/100= 10.8

46
Q

Chemical and physical properties of isotopes?

A

Isotopes of same element have same chemical properties and different physical properties

47
Q

Define relative atomic mass

A

Mass of atom of an element compared to the carbon 12 atom

The relative average mass of element on scale on which mass of atom of isotope C12 is exactly 12

48
Q

Describe how periodic table is arranged

A

Increasing atomic number
Horizontal rows called periods
All elements have electrons in same principle energy level (Shell)
Verticals columns called groups
In groups all elements have same number of valence electrons

49
Q

Properties of element determined by?

A

Number of valence electrons or group in which it is found
chlorides of group 1 elements: HCl, LiCl, NaCl
chlorides of group 2: BeCl2, MgCl2 CaCl2

50
Q

How do electrons in same group react?

A

They have same numbers of valence electrons so react similarly.

51
Q

How reactive are the noble gases

A

Unreactive

52
Q

How reactive are the alkaline metals?

A

Very reactive

53
Q

Define atomic radius

A

Size of atom, mean distance of the nucleus to valence electrons

54
Q

Define valency?

A

Measure of the combining power of an atom with other atoms when it forms a molecule or compound eg C tends to bond with 4Cl atoms to make CCl4, where as Na only forms NaCl.

55
Q

Defined ionisation energy

A

Amount of energy required to remove the most loosely bound electron from an atom (to form an ion) in the gaseous state

56
Q

General equation for ionisation energy

A

M(g)+ -> M+ (g)+e

57
Q

Define electronegativity

A

A numerical measure of electron attracting power of an atom (related but different to ionisation energy)
Metals tend to have low electronegativity and tend to loose electrons while nonmetals are high and tend to gain electrons

58
Q

As move from left to right across periodic table what occurs?

A

Decrease in atomic radius-more protons in nucleus pull electrons closer
Increase in ionisation energy - as electrons have a stronger attraction to nucleus, more energy required to remove them
Increase in melting/boiling point of element until group 4 then decreases, as a result of type of bonding metallic to covalent network to covalent molecular.

59
Q

Identify more trends in the periodic table.

A

Increase in electronegativity.
Decrease in metallic character.
Change in bonding of element. Metallic -> Covalent Network -> Covalent Molecular.
Decrease in electrical/thermal conductivity
Reguar pattern emerges in formulae formed between element and anther element

60
Q

Trends down group in periodic table.

A

Decrease in the first ionisation energy
Decrease in electronegativity
Atomic radius increases
Metallic radius increases

61
Q

What happens to number of valence electrons as you move down a group?

A

They increase by 1

62
Q

Why would first ionisation energy decrease as you move down a group?

A

Atomic radius increases electrons further from positive nucleus
More difficult for positive nucleus to hold onto outermost electron.

63
Q

Why does electronegativity decrease?

A

Each element has one more shell as you move downwards. Valence electrons further from nucleus. Less attraction between positive nucleus and outermost electron.

64
Q

What happens to melting and boiling points as you move down a group?

A

It decreases. Larger atomic radius.
Less elecrostatic attraction between (metals)-decreases down a group.
Melting point/boiling point increases down a group for non-metals.

65
Q

Define ions?

A

Atoms or molecules with a net electric charge due to the loss or gain of one or more electrons.

66
Q

Define cation?

A

Positively charged ions

67
Q

Define anions.

A

Negatively charged ions

68
Q

Define monatomic ions.

A

Consisting of one atom.

69
Q

Define polyatomic ions.

A

Consisting of many atoms.

70
Q

Define ion formation.

A

Ions are formed when atoms lose or gain electrons in order to fulfill the octet rule and have full outer valence electron shells.
