Periodic Table And Atomic Stucture Flashcards
How is the periodic table arranged
The elements in order of increasing atomic number
What can the periodic table determine
Wether an element is metal or non metal
What are groups in the periodic table
Groups are columns containing elements with the same number of outer electrons indicated by the group number
What do elements in the same group have in common
Elements within a group share the same valency and have similar chemical properties because they
have the same number of electrons in their outer energy levels.
What makes up an atom?
A nucleus, containing protons and neutrons, and electrons orbit the nucleus
What charge does a proton have
positive
what charge does a electron have
One - negative
What charge does a neutron have
Neutral = 0
What mass does proton, neutrons and electrons have
Protons and neutrons have an approximate mass of one atomic mass unit and electrons, in
comparison, have virtually no mass.
What is the atomic number
The number of protons in an atom
How do u know the number of electrons and protons are the same
In a neutral atom the number of
electrons is equal to the number of protons.
What is the mass number
The mass number of an atom is equal to the number of protons added to the number of neutrons
What are isotopes
Isotopes are defined as atoms with the same atomic number but different mass numbers, or as
atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.
What is nuclide notation
Nuclide notation is used to show the atomic number, mass number (and charge) of atoms (ions)
from which the number of protons, electrons and neutrons can be determined.
How is ram calculated
The average atomic mass has been calculated for each element using the mass and proportion of
each isotope present. These values are known as relative atomic masses.
What do covalent bonds for between
Non metal atoms
What is a covalent bond
A covalent bond forms when two positive nuclei are held together by their common attraction for a
shared pair of electrons
How can simple molecules be described
These molecules can be described as linear, angular, trigonal pyramidal or tetrahedral.
How. many bonds can be formed between atoms
More than 1
What are the 7 diatomic molecules
H2, 02, N2, F2, Cl2, Br2, I2
What is an element
An element is a substance made out of one type of atom
What is a compound
A compound is when 2 or more different elements chemically join/bond together
What is a molecule
A molecule is 2 or more atoms
What percentage of the periodic table is metals
80%
What percentage of the periodic table is non metals
20%
