Atomic structure and periodic table Flashcards
Trying to pass this test
Bohrs model
The idea of a planetery model for atoms in which electrons circle the nucleas in fixed orbit
Atomic emission spectra
the set of frequencies of the electromagnetic waves emitted by atoms of the element
Orbital
Path that electrons travel on
What equation gives you the maximum number of electrons that a shell can have
2n²
(n= number of shells)
How is the atomic number of an element decided
The number of protons in the nucleus
Periodic groups
Sets of elements with the same number of valence electrons that share similar characteristics
Atomic radius
The distance between the outer most electrons and the nucleus of an element. The larger the radius of an element is, the more likely they are to lose their valence electrons, but the closer they are the less likely.
T or F, atoms on the right of the periodic table have a smaller radius
True, since the elements on the right have more protons at their center there is more pull on their valence electrons
If Na (Sodium), which is an element in group 1a, were to lose an electron then what group of elements would it resemble
8a, the nobal gasses
The periodic law states that
The properties of elements reacur periodically when arranged by increasing atomic number
Which side of the periodic table has more elements with metallic charicteristics
The left side
Shielding effect
Electrons on the core orbitals to not experence the same pull from other elements during chemical reactions due to the electrons the the outer most shells
T or F, Nuclear charge stays the same across a period
F, the nuclear charge is based of the valence electrons and increases across the table
T or F, the elements in the same group have the same nuclear charge
T, nuclear charge is based off the electrons (+1- lowest charge, -1- strongest charge, 0- nobel gasses (1234321 sequence))
Core electron
Any electron not found in the outer shell of an element
