Atomic structure and the Periodic Table Flashcards
Contained in the nucleus are…
Protons and Neutrons
Moving around the nucleus in shells are…
Electrons
Mass and charge of proton, neutron and electron
Proton: Charge +1, Relative Mass 1 Neutron: Charge 0, Relative Mass 1
Electron: Charge -1, Relative Mass Negligble
What charge do atoms have overall
None
What is an ion
A charged atom that has gained or lost electrons and has different number of electrons to protons
Describe how an element symbol is labeled
On top is proton/atomic number
Middle is element symbol
Bottom is relative atomic mass
Relative atomic mass (including isotopes) equation
(isotope abundance A x isotope mass number A + isotope abundance B x isotope mass number B)
______________________________________________
Sum of abundance of all isotopes (100)
What is an element
A substance made up of only 1 type of atom
What is an isotope
An isotope is an element with the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons. Same atomic number different mass number
What is a compound
Two or more elements chemically joined together through chemical bonds. Hard to separate.
What is a mixture
No chemical bonds so the elements are easy to seperate
When would you want to use filtration
To separate solids from liquids
When would you want to use evaporation/ crystilisation
Seperate a soluble salt from a solution
How to separate salt from rock salt
Crush up rock salt
Add water and stir
Filter the mixture
Evaporate water from the salt leaving salt crystals
Is fractional distillation a chemical or non chemical reaction
Non-chemical
