Reactions/The periodic table Flashcards
rate of reaction
the speed of a reaction
conditions of a reaction
can be used to change reaction rate
temperature
concentration
surface area of solid reactants
successful collision
giving a reaction
unsuccessful collision
gives no reaction
collision theory
the theory that the more successful collisions taking place the faster the reaction
formula for average rate of a reaction
change in quantity
——————————
change in time (s)
elements
substances made up of one type of atom
compounds
substances made of more than one type of atom
proton
atomic mass: 1 a.m.u
positive charge
in the nucleus of an atom
neutron
mass: 1 a.m.u
no charge
in the nucleus
electron
mass: negligible (1/2000)
negative charge
in the electron cloud of the atom
paired electrons
take no part in reactions
unpaired electrons
take part in reactions because they can bond with other atoms
the number of unpaired electrons in the outer shell tell us it’s valency
isotope
an atom of an element that has the same atomic number but different atomic mass number
isotopes of the same element will have a different number of neutrons
what is the outer electron arrangement the same as?
the group number
