Module 2, atoms, isotopes, etc Flashcards
Relative atomic mass
The weighted mean mass of an atom relative to 1/12th the mass of a carbon-12 atom
Relative isotomic mass
The mass of an atom of an isotope relative to 1/12th the mass of an atom of carbon-12
mass spectrometer ionization zone?
Sample atoms bombarded with high energy electrons which knock an electron off their outer shell leaving pos. ions
Acceleration area
All atoms are accelerated to the same Ek
State of saturated lipids?
Solid
states of unsaturated fats?
liquid
mass spectrometer drift region?
Larger isotopes are separated from the smaller as they take different times to move up the drift zone.
ion detector, mass spectrometer?
Detects the pos. ions using the time that they reach it to separate the different ions and calculate the % abundance and relative isotomic mass
What is the required condition of the mass spectrometer?
Vacuum, so no air present for particles to collide with and be slowed down or diverted
D block elements with 1 type of ion?
Silver(Au+), Zinc(Zn2+), Scandium(Sc3+)
Polyatomic ions?
Groups of atoms covalent bonded which have then lost or gained electrons to become ions
