Q

What is the mass of a proton?

21
Q

What is the mass of a neutron?

22
Q

What is the mass of an electron?

23
Q

What does “Electrically Neutral’ mean?

A

The number of proton are equal to the number of electron

24
Q

What was bohr famous for?

A

Elaborating on Rutherford’s idea, he came up with the idea that nucleus was made up of protons and neutrons, and electrons orbit around the nucleus in discrete energy levels

25
Q

Who was quantum mechanic developed by?

A

Schrodinger and Heisenberg

26
Q

What’s important about the energy levels of the orbital electrons in an atom?

A

They are discrete and not continuous.

27
Q

How are the orbital electrons defined individually?

A

Defined by a set of quantum numbers

28
Q

What is the Pauli Exclusion Principle?

A

No two electrons in same atom can have an identical set of quantum numbers

29
Q

What are the four quantum numbers?

A

Principal Quantum Number, Angular Momentum, Magnetic Quantum Number, Spin Quantum Number

30
Q

What is the formula utilized to determine the maximum number of electrons within an orbit?

A

2n^2, N is equal to the number of the orbit

31
Q

What is the mass number?

A

Total number of nucleons = Protons + Neutrons (top number)

32
Q

What is the atomic number?

A

The number of protons within the nucleus (bottom number)

33
Q

Atomic Mass Unit is equivalent to what fraction of what element?

A

1/12 of a carbon-12 atom

34
Q

What is Atom Weight?

A

The mass of atoms expressed in grams

35
Q

What is avogadros number?

A

6.022 x 10^23

36
Q

What is an Isotope?

A

Element with Same protons (Z)

37
Q

What is an Isotone?

A

Element with same Neutrons (A-z)

38
Q

What is an Isobar?

A

Element with the same Mass #

39
Q

What is an Isomer?

A

Same composition, but different nuclear energy states

40
Q

What is an ion?

A

An atom that have gained or lost an electron

41
Q

What is nuclear stability and what does it depend on?

A

A nonradioactive nuclide, which has a dependence on neutron-to-proton ratio.

42
Q

What can be said about the neutron to proton ratio of a low atomic number nuclei?

A

Stable nuclides have almost equal number of neutrons to protons

43
Q

As Z increases more than 20, what can be said about the N/P ratio?

A

For a stable nuclei, the ratio become greater than 1

44
Q

If the nuclei is packed with more protons, it tends to be more stable. True or False?

A

False, it tends to be more unstable

45
Q

What are the 4 forces of nature?

A

Strong Nuke force, Electromagnetic Force, Weake Nuke force, and Gravitational Force

46
Q

What is strong nuclear force?

A

Short range force when the particles are closer to eachother then the amount of the nuclear diameter.

47
Q

What is the electromagnetic force?

A

Oppositely charged particles to attract eachother and similar charged particles to repel eachother

48
Q

What is the weak nuclear force?

A

Weak force, come into play for some types of emissions such as beta particle decay

49
Q

What is the gravitational force?

A

Weakest force, does not affect atomically
