Q

Bohr improved nuclear model 4 principles

A
  • electrons can only exist in fixed orbitals / shells
  • each shell has a fixed energy
  • when electron moves between shells electromagnetic radiation is emitted or absorbed
  • because the energy of shells is fixed, the radiation will have a fixed frequency.

47
Q

percentage yeild =

A

actual yield/ theoretical yield x 100

48
Q

% atom economy =

A

molecular mass of desired product /
sum of Mr of all product
x 100

49
Q

oxidation number tells you:

A

how many electrons an atom has donated or accepted to form an ion or to form part of a compound.

50
Q

4 rules of oxidation numbers:

A
  1. all uncombined elements have an oxidation no. of 0
    as they haven’t accepted or donated any electrons.
  2. oxidation no. of simple, monotonic ion (consisting of
    one atom) is the same as its charge
  3. for molecular ions the sum of oxidation no. is same as
    overall charge of the ion
  4. for neutral compound the overall oxidation number is 0
    if made up of more than one element each element
    will have own oxidation no.
51
Q

oxidation numbers of oxygen

A 
-2 
except peroxides (O(2) 2-) where it is -1 
and O(2) where it is 0
52
Q

oxidation numbers of hydrogen

A

+1
except metal hydrides MH(x) (M = metal) where its -1
and molecular hydrogen (H2) where its 0

53
Q

roman numerals in name means

A

the oxidation number of the element before it e.g
iron(II) sulfate meaning iron has oxidation no. of +2 formula= FeSO(4)
iron (III) sulfate iron= +3 formula Fe2 (SO4)2

54
Q

oxidation

A

loss of electrons

55
Q

reduction

A

gain of electrons

56
Q

redox reaction

A

where both reduction and oxidation occur simultaneously

57
Q

oxidising agent

A

accepts electrons and gets reduced

58
Q

reducing agent

A

donates electrons and gets oxidised

59
Q

when electrons or lost or gained what happens to oxidation no.

A

oxidation no of an atom will increase by 1 for each electron lost.
oxidation no of an atom will decrease by 1 for each electron gained

60
Q

if oxidation number increases

A

then the element has lost electrons and been oxidised

61
Q

if oxidation number decreases

A

then the element has gained electrons and been reduced

62
Q

metals usually form

A

positive ions by donating electrons

they usually have +ve oxidation no.

63
Q

non metals usually

A

gain electrons

meaning they have -ve oxidation no.

64
Q

metal + acid is a redox reaction because

A

metal atoms are oxidised, losing e- to form +ve metal ions (in salts)
hydrogen ions are reduced, gaining electrons and forming hydrogen molecules
e.g Mg + 2HCl –> MgCl(2) + H(2)
H oxidation no. decreases from +1 to 0
Mg oxidation no. increased from 0 to +2
