Q

Dalton’s Atomic Theory of Matter

A
  1. All matter is made up of tiny particles called atoms. An atom cannot be created, destroyed or divided into smaller particles
  2. The atoms of one element cannot be converted into the atoms of another element
  3. All the atoms of one element share the same properties (mass and size). These properties are different for each element
  4. Atoms of different elements combine in specific proportions to form compounds

  2. The atoms of one element can be converted into the atoms of any other element by a chemical reaction called nuclear fusion
  3. All the atoms of one element share the same properties (mass and size). These properties are different for each element

A

Octet → 8 valence e-

50
Q

Why is a neutral atom not stable but an ion stable?

A

A neutral atom is not stable because
the valence orbit is not completely full and does not follow the octet/duet rules. An ion is stable because it follows these rules.

51
Q

A

Family:
INCREASING atomic size down family due to adding orbits

Period:
DECREASING atomic size because of the greater attraction between p+ and valence e-

52
Q

Periodic Trends: Ionization Energy

A

Family:
DECREASING ionization energy down the family due to the weakened attraction between p+ and valence e-

Period:
INCREASING ionization energy because atomic radius decreases across the period (more attraction between p+ and valence e-)

53
Q

Periodic Trends: Electron Affinity

A

Family:
DECREASING electron affinity due to large atomic radius (weak attraction between p+ and valence e-)

Period: INCREASING electron affinity due to small atomic radius (greater attraction between p+ and valence e-)

Outer electrons which are in the highest energy level

58
Q

A

An atom that gives up an electron and is positive charged

59
Q

Ionization Energy

A

The energy required to remove an electron completely from an atom

  • expressed in terms of the energy required to remove electrons from a large quantity of atoms *

→ more energy to strip a small atom because the attraction is stronger

60
Q

Electron Affinity

A

The energy given off when an electron is added to an atom

→ easier to add electrons to smaller atoms

61
Q

Isoelectronic

A

Ion has the same number of e- to its nearest Nobel gas

62
Q

Element

A

63
Q

Radioisotope

A

An unstable isotope that undergoes radioactive decay

64
Q

What does it mean when electrons are in an excited state? Understanding this concept, what test can a chemist use to determine the identification of a metal?

A

When electrons are in an excited state, this means that it is in an energy state that is greater than the ground state it normally occupies. This happens when an electron absorbs energy and jumps to a higher orbital. Knowing this, a chemist can determine the identification of a metal by conducting flame test. The colour of the flame identifies the specific metal.
