Physical Science - Ch 18 Flashcards
Chapter 18 Prep
Discovered the electron
Thomson
Organized the known elements in a table
Mendeleev
Discovered the element Radium
Curie
An ancient scientist that came up with the idea of an atom
Democritus
Came up with the modern model of the atom
Bohr
T/F - An atom with 11 protons and 10 electrons is a negative ion
False. An atom has 11 positives and 10 negatives it would be a positively charged “ion”. An ion is a charged particle
A charged particle
Ion
T/F - the first periodic table had empty spaces on it so new elements could be discovered
True. Mendeleev only knew of about 60 elements and left blanks for elements that needed to be discovered
T/F - An alpha particle is the nucleus of a helium atom
True. A helium atom nucleus would have two protons and two neutrons, which is the exact configuration of an alpha particle
A nucleus with two protons and two neutrons
An alpha particle
T/F - if an atom was the size of the classroom, the nucleus would be the size of Mr. Hawley
False. Would be about the size of a grain of sand
T/F - electrons are found in the nucleus and are more massive than neutrons
False. Electrons found in the electron shells and are only about 1/2000th the mass of a neutron or proton
(Can use perodic table/decay chain) - Mark bought a girl a ring with a cubic zirconium stone. What is the atomic number of the transition metal Zirconium?
40 - it has 40 protons
(Can use perodic table/decay chain) How many neutrons are in sodium 23?
12, because 11+12 is 23
(Can use perodic table/decay chain) T/F - the atomic number is the number of neutrons plus neutrons in an element
False - atomic number is the number of protons and it is what makes an element the element that it is
Number of protons an element has
Atomic number
T/F - Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have different numbers of electrons
False - different numbers of neutrons
(Can use perodic table/decay chain) How many total electrons are in a neutral atom of uranium?
92 - since there are 92 protons, there would be 92 negative electrons to balance them out
(Can use perodic table/decay chain) How would you draw a model of a Silicon 29 atom
Need to draw 14 protons, 15 neutrons, 2 electrons in first shell, 8 electrons in the second shell and 4 electrons in the 3rd shell
T/F - You can use Carbon 12 to date old things like rocks from volcanoes
False - need to use Carbon 14 which is radioactive
T/F - Potassium 40 and Calcium 40 are isotopoes
False - Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons
What is the maximum number of electrons that can be found in the 2nd shell?
- First shell can hold a max of 2, the second shell can hold a max of 18 and fourth shell can hold a max of 32
What are the maximum number of electrons that can be found in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th shells?
1st - 2
2nd - 8
3rd - 18
4th - 32
What is the maximum number of electrons in the third shell, if it is the most outside shell?
8
What is the most electrons any outside shell can hold if it is not the first shell
8
What is the desire of every atom?
To have a full outer shell (2 in the first shell, 8 in all of the rest)
How many outer shell electrons are in Lithium?
1
How many outer shell electrons are in Carbon?
4
How many valence electrons are in Iodine?
7
Which chemical family doesn’t like to react with any other elements?
Nobel gases
Which of these is a characteristic property of metals?
a. bendable
b. good conductor of heat
c. good conductors of electricity
d. all of the above
D
Which type of elements hold their electrons tightly
Non-metals
What is the latin name of Iron?
Ferrum
T/F - When Carbon 14 decays and gives off a beta particle it then becomes a Nitrogen 14 atom
True
This particle comes from a neutron that decays
Beta particle
What force tries to blast the nucleus apart?
Electromagnetism
What force holds the nucleus together?
Strong nuclear force
