Topic 1 - Atomic structure and the Periodic table Flashcards
Radius of an atom
1x10^-10
Charge in the nucleus of an atom
Positive
Only protons and neutrons
Relative mass of sub atomic particles
Proton 1
Neutron 1
Electron very small
Charge of sub atomic particles
Proton +1
Neutron 0
Electron -1
Charge of an atom
Neutral
Same amount of protons and neutrons
Atomic number shows
Protons + neutrons
Atomic number shows
protons
What decides the element of something
Amount of protons
Isotopes of the same element are
Same number of protons
different number of neutrons
Relative atomic mass =
Sum of(isotope abundance x isotope mass number) / sum of abundances of all the isotopes
Making bonds involve
giving away , taking or sharing electrons
What happens when a metal and non-metal form a compound
Metal atom lose electrons forms positive ions
non-metal gains electrons forms negative ions
What bonding occurs between a metal and non-metal
Ionic bonding
What bonding occurs between non-metals
Covalent bonding
Are there chemical bonds in a mixture
No
