Quiz 1 Unit 2 Flashcards
Atom
Smallest unit of an element that retains the properties of that element
Protons
P+, determine the type of atom, +1 charge, 1 amu, inside nucleus, 1 relative mass
Neutrons
n0, change mass in isotopes, 0 charge, 1 amu, inside nucleus, 1 relative mass
Electrons
e-, changes charge for ions, -1 charge, 0 amu, outside nucleus, 1/840 relative mass
Nucleus
Contains almost all the mass of an atom
Electron Cloud
Contains almost all the volume of an atom
Atoms are Measured in
Picometers or 10^-12 meters
Density of Nucleus
Huge
Elements Are
Atoms with the same number of protons, or same atomic number
Atomic Number is Represented By
Z = #p
Hyphen Notation
Element, hyphen, mass number
Charge
Protons minus electrons or
Electrons are Arranged in
Energy levels called shells or orbits
Formula for Bohr Model
2n^2 when n=the shell number
Valence Electrons
Electrons found on the farthest energy level of an atom
