Module 2.1 Flashcards
brief history of the atom:
dalton: can’t be divided, all of given element are the same, arranged in a table of atomic masses
jj thompson: discovered electrons - plum pudding model negative electrons in sea of positive charge overall neutral
rutherford: alpha particles at gold foil - some deflected - positive nucleus
orbited by negative electrons
bohr: electrons orbited in energy shells
rutherford: proton
chadwick: neutron
what is the z number
atomic number (no of protons)
what is the a number
the mass number
how do different isotopes affect chemical reactions
they don’t as they have the same number of electrons, and chemical reactions involve electrons
what is relative atomic mass
the weighted mean mass of an atom of an element compared with 1/12 of the mass of an atom of carbon-12
what is relative isotopic mass
the mass of an atom of an isotope compared with 1/12 of the mass of an atom of carbon-12
what unit are atomic masses measured in
u (unified atomic mass unit)
what’s the different between relative formula mass and relative molecular mass
molecular - simple molecules
formula - giant structures
what is m/z
mass to charge ratio
what is empirical formula
simplest whole number ratio of atoms in a substance
ammonium ion charge
NH4 1+
hydroxide ion charge
OH-
nitrate ion charge
NO3 1-
carbonate ion charge
CO3 2-
sulphate ion charge
SO4 2-
silver ion charge
Ag+
Zinc ion charge
Zn 2+
what is a mole
the amount of any substance containing as many particles as there are carbon atoms in exactly 12g of the carbon-12 isotope
what is molar mass
the per mole of a substance g mol^-1
what’s the ideal gas equation
pV=nRT
p= pressure Pa
V= volume m^3
n= moles mol
R= gas constant J mol^-1 K^-1
T= temperature K
what is molar gas volume
the volume per mole of a gas dm^3 mol^-1
what’s the gas volume equation at RTP
n=V/24
