Atomic Structure and Amount of substance Flashcards
Atomic number definition
The total number if protons in an atom of an element
Definition mass number
The total number of protons and neutrons in an atom of an element
What charge are cations
Positive
What charge are anions
Negative
relative atomic mass definition ;
an average mass of an element in comparison to an atom of carbon 12 mass
what is definition of relative molecular mass ;
average mass of 1 formula of that compound compared to 1 atom of carbon
relative isotopic mass definition ?
mass of an isotopic mass in comparison with 1 / 12 of the mass of an carbon 12 atom
proton , neutron and electron charges
+1 , 0 , -1
proton neutron and electron masses
1, 1, 1/1840
define an isotope
atoms of the same element with the same number of proton and electrons but different number of neutrons
define an ion
element with the same number of protons and neutrons but different number of electrons
RAM equation :
( isotope 1 mass no x % abund of iso1 ) + ( isotope 2 mass no x isotope abunance % of iso 2 ) divided by 100
order of development of the atom :
Democitrius - atoms can not be broken down into smaller particles
Aristotole - discovered 4 elements matter is made of : fire , air , earth , water
Boyle - modern version of elements
Dalton - atoms are spheric balls - cannot be created or destroyed , atoms of same element are the same and atoms of different atoms are different + created some chemical symbols
Faraday & Davey - by electrolysis discovered matter is electrical in nature
Crookes - cathod ray discovery by cathod ray tube ( eventually called electrons )
Thompson - plum pudding model +ve charge with negative electrons embedded in it
Goldstein - behind cathode rays are +ve rays emitted . type of ray depemnds on gas in tube . eventually called proton by rutherford .
Bequeral - radioactivity
Geiger and Marsden ( rutherfords students ) gold leaf experiment
Chadwick - neutrons
Bohr - protons
geiger & marsden
rutherford students discovery
most alpha particle went straight through - atoms have ;ots of empty space
some alpha particles were deflected - particles must have passed something ( nucleus )
some alpha particles were deflected right back to where they came from - hit something dense and positivly charged ( nucleus )
how to find percentage abundance of an isotope using ToF
the size of the current produced when the ion hits the detector allows us to discover the abundance of the isotope .
how to find mass of an isotope
time taken for an ion to drift down the chamber
how do elements with low formula mass become ionised :
electron impact -
the sample is vaporised
high energy e- are fired at it . They ‘knock; an electron off leaving the sample to form positive ions .
they are attracted towards a negative electron plate .
