C1 Flashcards
Atoms are_____
the smallest piece of an element that can exist
all substances are made of atoms.
What do atoms contain?
Protons, neutrons and electrons
Particle Relative mass Charge
and where its found in the atom
Proton in nucleus
Mass= 1
Charge= +1
Neutron in nucleus
Mass= 1
Charge= 0
Electron in shells
Mass= very small(0)
Charge= -1
Atoms radius and nucleus size
Radius= 0.1 nm Nucleus= 1/10000 radius
Number of protons=
=number of protons
What does an elements mass number equal?
What does an elements atomic number equal?
Mass number= protons + neutrons
Atomic number= protons
Elements are_____
a substance made up of the same type of atoms, shown on the periodic table
Isotopes are_____
different types of the same element
same no.protons different no.neutrons
Isotope example (H)
1H 2H 3H
1 1 1
Protium Deuterium Tritium
Protium Deuterium Tritium for_____
Protium for plastics
Deuterium for nuclear fusion
Tritium for thermonuclear fusion weapons
Relative atomic mass (Ar) is_____
the average mass of all the isotopes of an element
Relative atomic mass formula
sum of(isotope abundance x isotope mass number/
sum of abundances of all the isotopes
Example: Ar of chlorine
Isotope abundances:
75% 35Cl
25% 37Cl
Ar= (0.75 x 35) / (0.25 x 37)
= 35.5
Compounds are_____
A chemical bonding of atoms from at least 2 different elements
Ionic compounds naming… for 2/3
