16
Q

What type of ions are formed in a mass spectrometer?

A

Positive ions.

17
Q

What happens to the ions in the mass spectrometer?

A

They are accelerated.

18
Q

What part of each isotope is separated?

A

The ions.

19
Q

Why are the ions separated?

A

Heavier ions are harder to deflect than lighter ions.

20
Q

How do you find the relative atomic mass of a sample?

A

(isotope mass number*%abundance)+(same again for next isotope)/100

21
Q

What is the difference between ionic and covalent bonding?

A

In ionic bonding electrons are transferred.

In covalent bonding electrons are shared.

22
Q

What does a displayed formula of a covalent.y bonded molecule show?

A

The relative position of atoms and the bonds between them as lines.

23
Q

What are lone pairs?

A

Paired electrons that are not shared.

24
Q

How are lone pairs shown in displayed formulas?

A

They are shown as dots (..).

25
Q

Which molecule shows that predictions for bonding cannot be based solely on the noble gas electron structure?

A

BF3

26
Q

What is mean by expansion of the octet?

A

When there are more electrons in the outer shell than in the nearest noble gas.

27
Q

From which shell is expansion of the octet from?

A

N=3
