Atomic structure and chemical bonding Flashcards
Protons and neutrons collectively known as
NUCLEONS
Name three subatomic particles
Protons, Neutrons and Electrons
Positively charged subatomic particle
Proton
Negatively charged subatomic particle
Electron
Neutral subatomic particle
Neutron
Mass of Proton (also mass of neutron)
1 amu
Atom is electrically neutral. Give reason
Protons are equal in number and opposite in charge(+1) with electrons(-1) and neutrons have no charge
Define atomic number
The number of protons present in the nucleus of an atom
The atomic number of X^-2 ion where total number of
electrons=18 is
16
Define Mass number
The sum of number of protons and neutrons in an atom
The shell closest to the nucleus
K shell
Which electron has minimum energy? The one preseng in L shell or the one present in N shell?
The electron present in L shell
While revolving in a shell an electron possesses a certain amount of energy. Hence shells are also called
Energy levels
Define electron configuration
distribution of elctrons in different shells
The two scientists who gave scheme to distribute electrons in different orbits
Bohr and Bury
Maximum number of eletrons which can be present in any shell is given by
2n^2
The outermost shell can not have more than __ electrons
8
The penultimate shell cannot have more than ___ electrons
18
Electron configuration of Calcium ion (at no. 20)
2,8,8
Define isotopes
Atoms of the same element having same atomic number but different mass number
