Module 2 Flashcards
What is ionisation
Turning an atom/element Into an ion specifically positive ion
Give an equation to represent ionisation
X (g) -> X* (g). + e-
What are the two axis of a mass spectrum
-relative abundance
-m/z (mass charge ratio)
What is the isotopic mass of an atom
Mass of an isotope relative to 1/12th of an atom of C-12
What is the relative atomic mass
Weighted mean mass of an element when compared to C-12 when C-12 has a mass of 12
Relative atomic mass equations
(Mass number x %) + ( mass number x %)

What is an orbital
Region of space that electrons are most likely to be in around the nucleus
What are the 4 types of orbitals in order
S, P, D and F
How many electrons can occupy any one orbital and what spin will they have
2 electrons and they’ll have opposite spin
What do orbitals make
Sub shells
