Chapter 2 Flashcards
First assessment review (section 4-6 & 9)
Positive Charge comes into contact w/ negative charges
Positive and negative charges attract
Positive charge comes into contact w/ positive charge
Negative charge comes into contact w/ negative charge
Positive repels positive
negative repels negative
The magnitude of a positive and negative charge combined is equal to
Zero [+1 charge + (-1 charge)]
Neutrons
Neutral particles within the nucleus
Nuclear theory of an Atom
1.The atom’s mass and all of its positive charge are contained in the nucleus.
2. Most of the volume of the atom is empty space, negatively charged electrons are dispersed.
3. There are as many electrons outside the nucleus as there are protons within the nucleus
Amu
Atomic Mass Unit
Atomic Number
amount of protons in a nucleus
Mass # of particle
sum of protons and neutrons
Isotopes
Atoms with same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons
Ions
Charged particles
Positively charged ions
Cations
Negatively charged ions
Anions
Avogadro’s Number
6.022x10^23 particles (total amount in one mol)
The mass of one mole of atoms of an element
molar mass (g/mol)
