Gen Chem 1 Flashcards
What is the atomic number (Z)
the number of protons an atom has
What is the mass number (A)
the combined number of protons and neutrons
When the convention showing the atom, it’s atomic number and mass number how is it arranged
the mass number on top of the atomic number. both next to the atom name
What are valence electrons
electrons farthest away from the nucelus
what happens to valence electrons as they get farther away from the nucleus
the farther away they are the less they are attracted to the nucleus, and the more they can interact with other atoms.
What is an ion
a positive or negative atom due to the loss or gain of electrons
how many, n’s, p’s, and e-‘s in a Nickel-58 atom
Ni = 28 protons
58-28 = 30 neutrons
since it is neutral it has 28 electrons too
How many n’s p’s, and e-‘s does a +2 Nickel-60 atom have
Ni = 28 protons
60-28 = 32 Neutrons
Since it is plus 2 it has lost 2 electrons = 26 e-‘s
How much is one amu in grams
1.66 x 10^-24
How many amu does carbon have
12
what is the atomic weight
the weight in grams of one mole of a given element (g/mol)
What is avogadro’s number
the number of particles in a mole
6.022 x 10^23
What are isotopes
when atoms (having the same number of protons) have different numbers of neutrons
how does isotopicity affect reactivity
it doesn’t change a lot because they still have the same number of protons and e-‘s
How is the atomic weight of the elements on the periodic table found
you take the mass number of each of the isotopes multiplied by the frequency of that isotope, and add all of those together
Q has
isotope A 60% at 40 amu
isotope B 25% at 44 amu
isotope C 15% at 41 amu
40 x .6 = 24
44 x .25 = 11
41 x .15 = 6.15
24 + 11 + 6.15 = 41.15 g/mol
What is plancks constant
6.626 x 10^-34 J*s
what is the equation for the energy of a quantum
E = hf h = plancks constant f = frequency
What is the equation for the angular momentum of an electron
angular momentum = nh/2pie
n = quantum number
h = plancks constant
What is bohrs model of the Hydrogen atom
a single proton with an electron circling it
Since angular momentum of an electron has thee different constants in the equation, what determines angular momentum of an electron
the quantum number
What is the equation for the energy of an electron
E = -Rh/n^2 Rh = 2.18 X 10 ^-18 j/electron
What is Rh
the rydberg constant = 2.18 x 10^-18 j/electron
What is the only factor that affects the energy of an electron
the quantum number
