Module 2 Flashcards
electron rel mass
1/1836
p/n rel mass
1
isotopes
atoms of the same element with different number of neutrons and different masses
heavy water
control process in nuclear reactors
2H isotope
cations
positive ions
more protons than electrons
anions
negative ions
more electrons than protons
relative isotopic mass
mass of an isotope relative to 1/12th of the mass of an atom of carbon 12
relative atomic mass
weighted mean mass of an atom of an element relative to 1/12th of the mass of an atom of carbon-12
weighted mean mass
takes into account:
percentage abundance of each isotope
relative isotopic mass of each isotope
m/z
mass to charge ratio
relative mass of ion/ relative charge on ion
binary compound
contains two elements only
ionic- metal ion always first in name
avogadro constant
number of particles in each mole of carbon-12
6.02 x10^23
rel molecular mass
compared mass of a molecule with the mass of an atom of carbon 12
empirical formulae
simplest whole number ratio of atoms of each element in a compound
molecular formula
number of atoms of each element in a molecule
