Atomic Structure & Periodic Table Flashcards
Protons
1.67x10^-24g (1 amu)
Neutrons
1.66x10^-24g (1 amu)
1 amu is…
1/12th the mass of C-12
Electrons
9.11x10^-28g (0 amu or 1/1837th H+/Proton)
Isotopes of hydrogen
Protium= most, 1p 1e Deuterium= 1p 1n Tritium= radioactive 1p 2n 1e
Average atomic mass (mass spectrometry, isotopes)
Sum of atomic mass of isotope (amu) x percentage (decimal)
Wave Particle duality of nature
Electrons and light have properties of waves (wavelength and frequency) and particles (quanta of energy)
Properties of ionic
Solid @room temp, no current
Liquid less conductive than metals
High MP and BP, but variations
Low volatility and VP (do not vaporize @room temp)
Brittle under stress
Soluble in water, form electrolytic, solubilities vary
Properties of molecular crystals and liquids
Neither liquid or solid conduct electricity
Gas @room temp and atm pressure, solids and liquids are volatile
MP solids low, BP liquids low
Solids soft, wavy consistency
Large energy required to decompose chemically
