Chemistry Ms19-25 Flashcards
define atom
the smallest unit of matter
define atomic nucleus
where protons and neutrons are located
define electron
negatively charged subatomic particle known as “e-“; has negligible mass
define neutron
neutrally charged subatomic particles located in nucleus
define proton
positively charged subatomic particles located in nucleus
define orbital
path that e- follows
how to find Atomic Mass?
protons+neutrons
what are protons equal to?
atomic #
define valence shell
of the outer shells where electrons bond
where are higher energy levels?
higher energy levels are found farther from nucleus
what is matter?
has makes and takes up space
what is an element?
a pure substance made up of only one kind of atom with a characteristic number of protons
what is an isotope?
a variation on the the element that has the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons, changing its mass
what is an ion?
an atom that is positively (cation) or negatively charged(anion)
what is a molecule?
2 or more atoms covalently bonded together
what is a compound?
different atoms chemically bonded together
what is atomic mass?
of protons and neutrons in an atom
what is atomic #?
that tells us how many protons are in an atom
how do you find the number of protons in an element?
the atomic number is equal to the number of protons
find the number of e- in an element?
same as the number of protons
how do you calculate the number of neutrons in an element?
atomic mass - atomic number
how do you determine the number of e- in the valence shell?
use family number (column)
names of groups and elements?
alkaline earth, alkaline, transition, halogens, noble gases
which elements make up 96% of organic matter?
carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen
an atom is mostly made up of what?
space
how many e- can fit in an orbital?
2
changing an atoms number of protons =
a different element
changing an atoms number of neutrons =
isotope
changing the number of electrons =
ion
what is a cation
positive
what is an anion
negative
what is Thomson’s plumb pudding model do?
hypothesis about atomic structure
what is Rutherford’s gold foil experiment?
hypothesis that an atom is mostly space
what do columns share on the periodic table?
the same number of valence shell e-
what are rows arranged by?
energy levels
how are energy levels filled?
lowest first
how are S orbitals shaped and how many are there per energy level?
spherically shaped, 1 per energy level
how are P orbitals shaped and how many are there per energy level?
dumbbell shape, 3 per energy level
