Q

What is a temporary dipole?

A

A temporary state of charges sides in a nonpolar element. Also called instantaneous dipole. Temp dipoles cause weak bonds.

16
Q

What is needed to find the number of neutrons?

A

The number of neutrons may only be calculated if a specific isotopic mass of an element is known.

17
Q

What’s the formula for number of electrons of an ion?

A

e = Z - charge of the ion

18
Q

What is a cation?

A

A positive ion! Has lose electrons to become positive.

19
Q

What is an anion?

A

A negative ion! Has gained electrons to become more negative.

20
Q

What is the formula for finding number of neutrons?

A

Neutrons = A - Z

Or Mass - Atomic Number.

21
Q

What is the formula for finding protons?

A

“Z” protons are always equal to the atomic number.

22
Q

What are isotopes?

A

Elements with a different number of neutrons.

23
Q

What is one way isotope mass can be determined?

A

By Mass spectrometry

24
Q

Do metal group’s boiling and melting points increase or decrease down the group?

A

Decrease from top to bottom on the PT.

25
Q

Do the BP and MP of nonmetal increase or decrease down the PT?

A

Increase!

26
Q

How do Hydrogen Bonds affect BP/MP?

A

They have especially high BP/MP because of especially strong intermolecular forces.

27
Q

What are Allotropes?

A

An element that has two or more distinct sets of chemical and physical properties. Most common in Metalliods.

28
Q

What are the allotropes of O?

And of C?

A

O2 (oxygen gas) and O3 (ozone).

Graphite, Diamond, and Buckminsterfullerene (C60).

29
Q

What is ionization energy?

A

The energy needed to remove an electron from an atom completely. Always endothermic! Energy must be added to remove an electron.

30
Q

What is the photoelectric effect?

A

When high energy beans are trained on the surface of the elements, electrons can be ejected. Tells us the Binding Energy of electrons to an atom.

31
Q

What is electron affinity?

A

Charge that accompanies the addition of an electron. Follows the diagonal trend. Fluorine has the highest electron affinity.

32
Q

What is electronegativity?

A

Describes the attraction of electrons by individual atoms. It’s a combination of ionization energy, affinity, and other factors. Also follows diagonal trend.

33
Q

How do electrons affect the size of ions?

A

Anions are bigger than the stable element and cations are smaller than the stable atom.
