Q

Why do different isotopes of the same element react in the same way?

A
  1. Neutrons have no impact on the chemical reactivity.
  2. Reactions involve electrons, isotopes have the same number of electrons in the same arrangement.

24
Q

Define relative atomic mass.

A

The weighted mean mass of an atom of an element compared with one twelfth of the mass of an atom of carbon-12.

25
Q

What is the unit of relative atomic mass?

A

No units.

26
Q

Define relative isotopic mass.

A

The mass of an atom of an isotope compared with one-twelfth of the mass of an atom of carbon-12.

27
Q

The relative isotopic mass is the same as which number?

A

Mass number.

28
Q

What two assumptions are made when calculating mass number?

A
  1. Contribution of the electron is neglected.
  2. Mass of both proton and neutron is taken as 1.0u.
29
Q

How do you calculate the relative molecular mass and relative formula mass?

A

Both can be calculated by adding the relative atomic masses of each of the atom making up the molecules or the formula.

30
Q

What are the uses of mass spectrometry? (3)

A
  1. Identify unknown compounds.
  2. Find the relative abundance of each isotope of an element.
  3. Determine structural information.
31
Q

How does a mass spectrometer work?

A
  1. The sample is vapourised and then ionised to form positive ions.
  2. They pass through the apparatus and are separated according to mass-to-charge ratio.
  3. A computer analyses the data and produces a mass spectrum.
32
Q

How do you calculate the mass-to-charge ratio? (m/z)

A

Relative mass of ion ÷ relative charge on ion

33
Q

How do you calculate the relative atomic mass?

A

sum of (isotope abundance x isotope mass) ÷ sum of all isotope abundances

34
Q

How is the group number related to the number of electrons?

A

Group number = number of electrons in the outer shell.

35
Q

Does the group number indicate a horizontal or vertical column in the periodic table?

A

Vertical column.

36
Q
  1. Do metals usually gain or lose electrons?
  2. Do non-metals usually gain or lose electrons?
A
  1. Lose electrons
  2. Gain electrons.
37
Q

What are the 4 elements that don’t tend to form ions and why?

A

The elements are beryllium, boron, carbon and silicon.

Requires a lot of energy to transfer outer shell electrons.

38
Q

What are molecular ions?

A

Covalently bonded atoms that lose or gain electrons.

39
Q

How can you Predict Ionic Charges from the Positions of Elements in the Periodic Table?

A

Group 1 = 1+ (lose 1 electron).
Group 2 = 2+ (lose 2 electrons).
Group 3 = 3+ (lose 3 electrons).
Group 4 = Be, B, C & Si tend not to form ions, as it requires a lot of energy to transfer outer shell electrons.
Group 5 = 3- (gain 3 electrons).
Group 6 = 2- (gain 2 electrons).
Group 7 = 1- (gain 1 electron).

A

Iron (II) = Fe(2+)
Iron (III) = Fe(3+)

54
Q

What is a binary compound? How do you name them?

A

A binary compound contains two elements.
1. To name a binary compound, use the name of the element that change the ending of the second element’s name to -ide.
2. For ionic compounds, the metal ion always comes first.

55
Q

What are polyatomic ions?

A

Sometimes, an ion may contain atoms of more than one element bonded together. These ions are called polyatomic ions.

56
Q

What is the empirical formula?

A

Simplest whole number of ratio of atoms of each element present in a compound.

57
Q

How do you calculate the empirical formula?

A
  1. Divide the amount of each element by its molar mass.
  2. Divide the answers by the smallest value obtained.
  3. If there is a decimal, divide by a suitable number to make it into a whole number.
58
Q

What are the four state symbols?

A

(g) - gas
(l) - liquid
