Atomic Structure Flashcards
Give charge mass and location of proton neutron and electron
Proton charge +1 mass 1 location is nucleus
Neutron charge 0 mass 1 location is in nucleus
Electron charge-1 mass almost 0 location in orbit
What’s an isotope
An isotope has the same number of protons and electrons but different number of neutrons.
So same proton number but different mass number
Isotopic abundance calculation
(Atomic mass1 x abundance%)
+ (atomic mass2 x abundance %)
All divided by 100
Mass spectroscopy-how a spectrometer works
Atoms put through sample inlet it’s hot to vaporise it
1) ionisation area-where atoms are knocked out by high energy electrons making all of them have 1+ charge
2) acceleration area-all ions given same energy
3) drift region-big space for ions to separate heavier ions travel slower bc ke=1/2mv^2
4) ion detector-calculates mass and gives it as mass/charge or m/z
What is mass number
The total number of protons and neutrons in a nucleus
Emission spectroscopy
Has a black background with colored lines.The lines represent a fixed and specific frequency of light energy being emitted.
The lines become close together as the frequency becomes higher.This is because the gaps between the energy levels become closer.
Absorption spectroscopy
Spectrum background with black lines.
Lines represent fixed and specific light energy being absorbed to go up an energy level.Lines become closer because gaps between energy levels become smaller.
Speed of light equation
C (3x10^8)=wavelength x frequency
Energy equation
Energy=plancks constant (6.63x10^-34)x frequency (s^-1)

RELATIVE atomic mass
(Ar) of an element is the mass of an atom compared to carbon 12
Relative formula/molecular mass
(Mr) of a substance is the mass of its formula unit relative to carbon 12 (sum of atomic masses in ratio of chemical formula)
Formula unit
The simplest whole particle of substance (atom,molecule,ion)
Mole
Amount of substance contained in atomic mass or molecular mass of the substance
Molar mass
The mass of one mole of that substance
Moles calculation
Mass/molar mass
Avagadros constant
The number of particles in a mole
6.02 x10^23
Empirical formula
Simplest ratio of numbers of different types of atom in a substance
Molecular formula
The actual number of different types of atoms in a molecule
Hydrated
With water
Anhydrous
Without water
