Outcomes 3.1 - 3.3 (Test on Monday, January 11, 2016 Flashcards
What’s special with the Non-Metals?
They are the most abundant elements in the Earth’s crust and atmosphere.
Several of these elements are important in our bodies.
In what order do you draw the valence electrons in the Lewis Dot Diagrams?
Same as the Bohr model:
12,
12,
3,
6,
9,
3,
6,
9.
Protons and Neutrons are accountable for what percentage of an atom’s mass?
0.96%
Where would the Lewis Dot Diagram be useful?
Easier and faster to draw,
Able to know the valence electrons quickly
The Element Name
How to abbreaviate the isotope name Neon 22?
22Ne
What are the three Subatomic particles?
Protons,
Neutrons,
Electrons
What is an atom?
A single element
What are Isotopes?
Are atoms with the same number of Protons but possesses a different number of neutrons.
Describe the shape of the space in which electrons exist.
A 3D shell that surrounds the nucleus
What is the Atomic Number?
Is the number of protons
This number is unique to each element
The number of electrons is usually the same as the atomic number but not always (i.e. ions)
What is the column on Group 7A called?
The Halogens
What does the Bohr model NOT describe?
The actual structure of the atom
What does the Lewis Dot diagram only show?
Symbol and number of valence electrons
What is the first row on the bottom called?
The Lanthanide Series
What is the second row on the bottom called?
The Actinide Series
Electrons are accountable for what percentage of an atom’s mass?
0.06%
If an atom was blown up to the size of a football stadium, how big would the nucleus be?
Only a small marble
The Element Symbol
What is in between the nucleus and the electrons?
Nothing, mostly empty space
What is the column on Group 8A called?
The Noble Gases
How are Bohr models and Lewis Dot Diagrams different? 3
Lewis Dot Diagrams only shows the valence electrons and element symbol,
Bohr model only shows the number of protons and neutrons instead of a sysmbol and draws the electrons in shells,
You can only draw the Bohr model up to 20 times
What is the valence shell? What are valence electrons?
They are the outermost shell surrounding the nucleus,
Electrons on the valence shell
