CH1.1 Formulae and equations + CH1.2 Basic ideas about atoms Flashcards
oxidation number
is the number of electrons that need to be added to (or taken away from) and element to mae it neutral
which elements exsist as diatomic elements
Iodine, Bromine, Chlorine, Fluorine, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Hydrogen
In Brave Circomstance Flamingos Overcome Natural Histerics
elements
substance which can not be split inot anything simpler by chemical means
atom
smallest part in a element that can tak part in a reaction
molecules
combination of 2 or more elements
ion
electrically cahrged atom or molecule
a positive ion is called a …
a negative ion is called a …
cation
anion
valency
a numerical measure of the combination power of an atom/ion
meaning of OILRIG
Oxidation is loss (of electrons) Reduction Is Gain (of electrons)
standard oxidation state of hydrogen
+1
standard oxidation state of oxygen
-2
standard oxidation state of fluorine
-1
when is the oxidation state of hydrogen not the standard value and what is the new value
-1 in hydride ions (NaH-)
when is the oxidation state of oxygen not the standard value and what is the new value
-1 in hydrogen peroxide H2O2
+2 in F2O
realtive atomic mass
the mass of an atom relative to the carbon-12 isotope having a value of 12
isotope
atoms with the same atomic number but different mass number
mass spec peacks give what and the peak intensity gives what
the atomic mass and the intensity gives the realtive abundance
what is relevent to know when caluclating thigns to do with the mass spec
the largest abundance is scaled up to 100% and everything else is scalled arcordingly
orbital
a region in space where on is likely to find an electron, each can hold up to 2 electrons with opposite spin
ionisation energy
measure of the amount of energy required to remove electrons from an atom
what is ionisation energy effected by
distance from nucleus
effetive nuclear charge of atom
1st ionisation energy
the energy required to remove 1 mole of electrons from one mole of isolated gaseous atoms to orm 1 mole of gaseous positive ions
redox
when reduction and oxidation takes place within a reaction
oxidation
removal of electrons
