Q

Atoms why don’t they have a charge?

A

they have no charge because they always have the same amount of protons in the nucleus as electrons making them neutral.

Q

Why does chlorine not have a whole mass?

A

it doesn’t have a whole mass number because it has two common isotopes and the RELATIVE ATOMIC MASS NUMBER comes out at 35.5 as chlorine-35(17 protons 18 neutrons) is found %75 of the time and Chlorine -37(17 protons 20 neutrons) is found %25 of the time.

Q

typical properties of transition metals

A

they form colored compounds.
they are good conductors of heat and electricity.
they can be hammered or bent into shape easily.

Q

Why is mercury different from typical transition metals?

A

because it is a liquid at room temperature.

22
Q

The trend in reactivity in Group 1

A

As you go down the group, the Atomic Number changes and it decreases the melting point but makes it denser.

23
Q

Atoms

A

they make up everything. An atom is the smallest part of an element that can exist. 0 charge overall

24
Q

Molecules

A

small groups of atoms covalently bonded.

25
Q

Groups

A

they tell you how many electrons are in the outer shell.

26
Q

the elements in the periodic table are arranged in…

A

increasing proton number

27
Q

Relative charge

A

protons (+1)
neutrons(0)
electrons(-1)

28
Q

the radius of atom and nucleus

A

atoms=0.1nm (1x10 to the power of -10 meters)

nucleus: 1/10,000 of an atom

29
Q

valence shell

A

the highest energy level.

30
Q

Why are groups useful

A

because elements in the same groups have similar chemical and physical properties. This is because they have the same number of valence electrons.

31
Q

Monatomic Elements

A

consist of single atoms.

noble gases are monatomic. they are very stable an unreactive making it super hard for them to form ions or bonds.

32
Q

Hydrocarbons

A 
Meth-ane: 1 carbon
Eth-ane: 2 Carbon
Prop-ane: 3 Carbon
But-ane: 4 Carbon
hept-ane : 5 Carbon

General formula= CnH2n+2 (n= carbon number)

33
Q

Neutrons in an element =

A

= mass Number - Atomic Number. Atomic Number= amount of protons and electrons/e.g. mass #=56 Atomic#=26 neutrons=30

34
Q

more group information

A

the amount of electrons in the valance shell is the same as the group. e.g. fluorine is in group 7. It has 7 electrons in its valence shell.

35
Q

elements are arranged in

A

Atomic mass.

36
Q

Period

A

a Period is a horizontal row in the periodic table.

37
Q

Ionic Lattice

A

Structure and bonding. Ionic bonds are the electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely-charged ions. The oppositely-charged ions are arranged in a regular way to form a giant ionic lattice.

38
Q

Periodic Law

A

The properties of the elements must repeat periodically.

39
Q

Group 1 elements are called

A

alkali metals

40
Q

group 2 elements are called

A

alkali earth metals

41
Q

group 7 elements are called

A

Halogens

42
Q

group 8/0 elements are called

A

noble gases

43
Q

within a group, the atomic radius goes.. within a period what happens to the atomic radius as the atomic number increases?

A

the atomic radius increases while in a period the atomic radius decreases.

44
Q

relative atomic mass

A

the ratio of the average mass of one atom of an element to one-twelfth of the mass of a carbon -12

45
Q

relative isotopic mass

A

the mass of an atom of an isotope compared with one-twelfth carbon -12 atom.

46
Q

Ionic/covalent/metalic

A

Ionic bond= between oppositely charged ions

covalent= shared pairs of valence electrons between atoms.

Metalic= electrostatic attraction between delocalised electrons and positive nucleus

47
Q

Sulfate

A

SO4 (2-)

48
