atomic structure and the periodic table Flashcards
what does the proton number tell you?
the number of protons
what does the mass number show?
the number of protons and neutrons added together
what is an ion?
atoms or groups of atoms that have gained or lost electrons so they will either have a positive or negative charge.
what is an element?
something made up of one type of atom
what is an isotope?
atoms of an element which have a different number of neutrons
how do you work out relative atomic mass?
sum of (isotope abundance x isotope mass number) / sum of abundances of all isotopes
what is a compound
a substance made from two or more elements chemically combined
what does diatomic mean?
two identical elements that combine, they are found in pairs
what does the name end in when two elements join
ide
what does the name end in when three or more elements combine and one of them is oxygen
ate

a substance that dissolves in a liquid
define insoluble
a substance that does not dissolve in a liquid
define solvent
a liquid
define solute
a solid that dissolves into a solution
define solution

how do you work out the rf value?
distance from baseline to the spot / distance from the baseline to solvent front
what did thompsan discover?

what is the plum pudding model?
a model that shows the atom as a ball of positivley charged with electrons scattered in it
what did rutheford do?
the alpha scattering experiment
Where did rutheford discover that the mass was
at center of the atom
what did bohr discover?
