Regents Flashcards
Temperature
Average kinetic energy
Amount of energy required to steal the outermost electron
Ionization energy
Particles of an ideal gas are separated by great distances, compared to their size
Kinetic molecular theory
What happens when a bond is broken
Energy is absorbed
What happens when a bond is formed
Energy is released
What does a catalyst do
Creates an alternate pathway, increasing the rate of the reaction by lowering the activation energy
Where does oxidation and reduction occur?
Oxidation-anode
Reduction-cathode
Same molecular formula but different structural formula
Isomer
Amount of attraction for electrons in a chemical bond
Electronegativity F or closest to fluorine
Difference between potential energy of the products and potential energy of the reactants
Heat of the reaction
Atoms that bond with each other to form chains, rings, or networks
Carbon atoms
Electrical energy to chemical energy
Electrolytic cell
MaVa=MbVb
Titration
Dense (+) charged in the center of empty space (protons & neutrons)
The nucleus
Mass of protons, neutrons, and electrons…
Protons: 1.0073amu. +
Neutrons: 1.0087amu. 0
Electrons: 0.0005amu. -
Atoms with the same number of protons but different number of neutrons
Isotope
Weighted average of all isotopes
Average atomic mass
A nucleus that is unstable
Radioactive
What determined the stability of a nucleus
The number of neutrons vs the number of protons
Change in the identity (#P) In a nucleus
Transmutation
If unstable nucleus undergoes a…
Transmutation to become stable
For nuclei with more than 83 protons
Alpha decay
For nuclei with too many neutrons
Beta decay
For nuclei with too many protons
Positron
The time required for half of a radioactive sample to become stable
Half life
A large nucleus breaks releasing energy
Fission Nuclear power
2 small nuclei fuse together release tons of energy
Fusion Sun/bomb
Isotopes with short half lives used to treat and protect health problems
( 131-I: thyroid disorders)
( 60-Co: finding and fighting cancer)
Medical tracers
Determines the age of fossils
( 238-U: date the earth)
( 14-C: dates organic fossils)
Radioactive dating
Fission, fission, atomic bomb, radiation
Matter converted to energy
Artificial transmutation
How do you determine the charge of an atom?
Number of protons - number of electrons
p>#e
1P
0e
Charge=1+
Cation
p=#e
1p
1e
Charge=0
Neutral atom
p<#e
1p
2e
Charge=1-
Anion
Atoms with a charge due to more or less electrons
Ion
What are the energy levels in a Bohr model
1st=2 electrons
2nd=8 electrons
3rd=18 electrons
4th=32 electrons
If heat or electrics is added what happens to electrons
They jump to an excited state
How is light produced
Excited by energy electron hops up to an excited state then falls back done to ground state and energy is released as light
