Definition T2 Flashcards
Atomic number / Proton number
Number of proton in nucleus
Nucleon number
Number of proton and neutron in nucleus
Isotopes
Atoms of same element with the same number of proton but different number of neutrons.
Isoelectronic
Ions with same number of electron
Orbitals
Space around the nucleus where the probability of finding electron is the greatest
Degenerate
Same energy level
Ground state
An atom is in the ground state when the electron are in the orbitals of lowest available energy
Free radical
Atoms or groups of atoms which have a single unpaired electron.
First Ionisation Energy
Energy needed to remove one mole of electron from one mole of gaseous atom to form one mole of gaseous ion with a charge of 1+
Second Ionisation Energy
Energy needed to remove one mole of electron from one mole of gaseous ion with a charge of 1+ to form one molecule of gaseous ion with a charge of 2+
