Module 2.1 Flashcards
First stage in atom change timeline
Fitfth century BCE (before the common eraa)
-The greek atom
-thought atoms would be indivisible .
Second stage in atom change timeline
A
Early 1800S - Dalton’s atomic theory :
He stated :
-Atoms are tiny particles that make up elements.
-All aotms of a given elemnt are the same .
-Atoms of one element re different form those of every other element .
-Developed the first stable of atomic msses .
Third stage in atom change timeline
(1897-1906) J.J Thompson - electron discovery .
He discovered that cathode rays were a stream of partiles with the following properties .
-Had negative charge .
-Could be deflected by both magnet + electric field .
-Very very small mass .
-Concluded electrons came form the atoms of the electrpdes themselves . (DALTON DISAPPROVED).
Fourth stage in the atom change timeline .
(1909-1911) Ernest Rutherfords gold-leaf experiment .
alpha particles were filed at a thin sheet of gold foil , the results were .
-Most paricles were not deflected t all .
-However a small percentage were deflected by the source .
-Some deflected bck towards the source .
Fourth stage in the atom change timeline . (1911 ; new model proposed)
-Positively charge of an atom + most of its mass re cocentrated t the center (the nucleus ) .
-Negative electrons orbit the nucleus .
-Most of an atom’s vpolume would be the space between the tiny nucleus + negative electrons .
-So positive charge = negative charge .
Q
Fifth stage int he atom changed timeline
(913) Niels Bohr;s planetary model and HENRY mOSELEY’S WORK ON ATOMIC NUMBERS .
-Bohr altered Rutherford’s model to allow electron to only follow certain paths . Or they would spiral into the nucleus periodic properties Bohr;s model helped to explain .
-Spectracal lines seen in emission spectrum .
-The energy of electrons at different distances from the nucleus
Henry moseleys’s work (fifth stage continued)
discovered a link between x-raus freqiemcoes amd am elment’s atomic number . Rutherford’s discovery of the proton was thena ble to explain Moseley;s findings that an atom;s atomic number was linked to x-ray frequencies . WWe know atomic number = protons .
Sixth stage in the atom change timeline
-Chadwick discovers the neutron
He observed a type of radiation made up of uncharged particles with apporximately the same mass as a portien now called neutron .
Sixth stage on the timeline
-1923-26
in 1923 the frnech physicist called Lous de Broglie suggesgted that prticles could hve the nature of both a wave and qne q pqerticle .
-In 1926 the austrain phsycis erwin chrodinger suggest that an electron had wave-like properties ina na tom . He also introduced the idea of atomic orbitals .
Lst stage on timeline
Modern day
-It is now thought that protons and neutrons themselves are made up of even smaller particls called quakrs . Our understaning of the aom is likely to progress and sceince andvances further and further .
Reactions of isotopes - wh y do different isotopes of the same elements react in the same way
This is because
-Chemical reactions involve electrons , and isotopes have the same number nd arrangement of electrons .
-Neutrons make no difference to chemical reactivityy .
formula of the four acids you need to know check sheet
HCL –> Hydrochloric acid
nitric acid
sulfuric acid
ethanoic acid
-Key is that all acids contain the element hydorgen .
-when we dissolve an acid in water , the hydrogen is released s the hydrogen ion H+
-The hydrogen ion is simply a proton -CHECK THE SHEET - Scientists say that the acid molecule dissociates - splits
-when this happens, it also produces a negative ion (chloride ion in the case of HCL ).
-In the case of hydrocholoric acid, every acid molecule dissociates + releases the hydrogen ion.
Therefore, we say
HCL IS A strong acid .
-sulfuric + ntiric acid are also strong acids .
check the sheet ofr the weak acid equation
-in the case of ethanoic acid , only a small percentage of the acid molecules dissociate. Therefore as it only partially dissociates it is a weak acid.
Bases - check sheet
metal hydroxides , metal carbonates, and ammonia.
what is a base
it can neutalise an acid to porduce a salt .
neutralisation reaction , check sheet
- when we form the salt , the metal ion in the metal oxide has replaced the hdyrogen ions in the acid .
-In this case ,t he copper ion from the copper oxide has sreplaced the hydrogen ions int he sulfuric acid to form the salt + copper sulfate.
neutralisaiton reaction (2)
-Can also see the oxide has formed formt he oxide from the copper oxide and hydrogen ions have formed water.
check sheet to see when a metal hydroxide reacts with an acid .
…
-cabornate + acid —> salt + water + carbondixoide .
alkalis are BASES that DISSOLVE in water
-both of these re bases, as they neutralise aicds, producing salt.
-copper oxide is insoluble in acid, so is a base only.
however, sodium hydroxide is soluble in water. When we dissolve sodium hydroxide in water, we make a sodium hydroxide solution.
sodium hydoricide solution is an alkali
All group 1 metal hydroxides are soluble in water and form alkalis .
need to learn this .
ammonia is also an example of this
check sheet for equation
-Ammonia is a gas that is highly soluble in water , producing the alkali ammonia hydroxide .
Key features of all alkalis.
-In solution, they release hydroxide ions (oh-)
-When an alkali reacts with an acid, we make salt + water
-check the sheet for an example.
but we can summarise his reaction much more simply.
OH-+H+–>H20
ALkali realses hydroxide ion oH + acid releases h+ opens.
-so we can summarise this neutralising reaction by reaching these ions together.
Check equaiton on sheet
-Magnesium is more reactive than zinc .
-In this reacton , magnesium atoms dipalces the zinc atom .
-Looking at the reaction we can see that the oxygen atom has transferred from the zic atom to the magnesium atom .
-when oxygen has gained like this we call this an ocidation reaction .
-magnwium atom has been oxidised to form magneisum ocide .
-loss of oxygen is called a reudction .
so in this reaction , zinc ocide has been reduced to zinc .
-Scienitsts call reactions like this a REDOX reaction as both , REDUCTION and OXIDATIOn has takrn place .
oxidation + reduction can be oth considered in terms of oxygen .
we can also consider oxidation + reudction in term sof hydorgen .
-in this reaction hdyorgen has been removced from the methanol , the removal of hydorgen is ocidtion .
Vice vera is reduction /
-oxidation and reudction can also be looked at in terms of electrons .
…
look at the zinc oxide and mave a amgnesium aotm which is uncharged .
mg —> mg2++
-this looses two electrons to form magnesium ion MG2+
-At the strt of the reaction ,w e have the zinc ion zn2+.
z22+—>zn
-This gains two electroms to form magnesium atom which is uncahged .
-Oxygen remains ucnhagred during this reaction 02- UNCHANGED .
Ions that do not change during a reaction are called what ?
Spectator ions .
-loosing electrons is oxidation which i what happened to magnesiu ,.
zinc gained two eelctrons nd gor educed
write the reaction as half equations
Mg —> oxidation Mg2++2e-
Xn2+ +2r—. zn
-In anyr edox reacion the chemical accepting the electro is calledthe oxidising agent (zinc ion ) .
-The chemical that is DONATING electrons is called the reducign agent (magnesium).
RECAP
oxidising agent —> reudced
reducing agent –> oxidised
…
check half equations video to get more prctice .
What are oxidation numbers
Oxidation numbers tell us about how electrons are lost or gianed in a reaction /
MGO
-when magneisum oxide forms ,
–Two eectrons are transferred from the mgnesim atom to the ocygena tom .
-This mans that magneisum oxide conains the magnesium ion MG2+ + the oxide ion O2- .
-As the magneisum ATOM lost TWO ELECROS TO ORM THE MANGESIUM ION . iT HAS AN OCIDATION NUMBER OF +2.M
-as OCYEGN HAS gained TWO ELECTRONS IT HAS A OXIDATION NUMER -2.
LOST ELECTRONS …
GAINED ELECTRONS …
Postive oxidation numebrs .
Negative oxidation numbers .
- for assinging oidation numbers .
In a PURE ELEMENT , atoms have an oxidation number of zero .
-Check sheet for examples
whe elements have chemically reacted with other elemtns , then their oxidation number will NO longer be zero .

Isotopes are atoms of the same element .
with different number of neutrons + sifferen masses ..
All isotopes reaction in the same way , why ?
they all have we same electron configuration .
What dies this tell us about how common each isotope is ?
abundance
how do we determine the mass
mass spectrometer –> number + abundnce oit .
interpeing a mass spectrometer
1.First ghing to notice is tht the spectrum has wo main parts peaks .
-This tells us tha tcopper has two main isotopes .
–Y axis ahs the outer elecrons abundance for the isotope , this is gien as s a arecentge of the totl .
-often these re shown at he top of each peak , like i am showing .
-x aci we have the (m/z ration ) . This is the raitio of the mass of each ion to its charge .
JUST THINK m/2 tatio is simplt he rtio of mass of the ion abso reltaiv emass of the ion .
