Module 4 Flashcards
Standard average
Sum of all divided by quantity
(A + B ) / 2
Weighted average
Summation of percent by total . Percents must equal 100%
.80 (100) + .20 (359) =151.8
Subatomic particles categories
Neutrons , protons, and electrons
Nucleus size / mass
1/10,000 of a atom but is most of the atoms mass
Atomic Mass unit
u , weighs about 1.661 x 10 ^ 27
Subatomic properties
Protons (+1), Electrons (-1), Neutrons (0) .
Charge is defined as
-1.6 x 10 ^ -19 c = e
Relative sizes
Electron > proton/neutron
Nucleus > Atom
Atomic number
Symbol : Z (top # in table)
Is the number of protons in the nucleus
Protons
Determines the identity of the atom , electrons can change and it won’t effect the proton (-1)
Weighs 1.0073 u
Isotopes
The number of neutrons varies , but has the same number of protons and atomic number. Can be identified by the mass number
Neutrons
Determines the mass of the atom . If it changes it becomes a isotope
Weighs 1.0087 u
Mass number
The combination of :
Atomic number + Neutron
Proton + Neutron
Ions
The gaining or losing of electrons in atoms . Separated into Anions or Cations
Anion
When the atom gains electrons it becomes a negative charge.
Cation
When the atom loses electrons it becomes a positive charge .
Atomic Mass scale
Initially : Compared to Oxygen (O) which was 16 mass Units
Currently : Compared to Carbon (C - 12) with 12 mass units
Artificial Elements
All elements whose atomic number is greater then 92. The most stable isotope is shown on the table . Does not contribute to mass for natural elements
Periodic table structure
Similar characteristics are grouped
Vertical is properties, Horizontal is atomic number
Creators of periodic table
Dimitri mandeleev and Lother Mayer
Periods on periodic table
The rows of the table
Groups / Families of the table
The vertical column on the table
1st Group / Family
The alkali metals , excluding hydrogen
(Contains +1 charge)
2nd Group / Family
Alkaline Earth Metals
(Contains +2 charge)
11th Group / Family
Known as the coinage family Consists of only
Copper (Cu) , Silver (Ag) and Gold (Au)
