Unit 1- Atomic Sructure, Amount Of Substances, Bonding, Energetics, Kinetics, Equiliburm And Redox Flashcards
1)Name the subatomic particles, their relative mass and relative charge?
2)Why do we use relative mass and not mass?
1)
Protons, 1, +1
Neutrons, 1, 0
electron, 1/2000, -1
2)
The mass of the subatomic particles are too small.
1)What is the mass number (A) where is it located?
2)What is the atomic number (Z), where is it located?
3)How does the atomic number identify elements?
1)total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom
2)number of protons in an atom
3)all atoms same element have the same number of protons
1)What makes an atom a neutral atom?
2)How do you calculate the number of neutrons?
3)How do you find out the number of electrons?
1)overall they have no charge (number of electrons is the same as the number of protons)
2)mass number - atomic number = neutrons
3)same as the number of protons
1)How do atoms form ions and what are their main characteristic?
2)Negative and postive ions electron and proton level?
1)gaining or losing electrons, they have different number of protons and electrons
2)
negative ions= more electrons than protons (gained electrons)
positive ions= less electrons than protons (lost electrons)
1)what are isotopes?
2)Do isotopes have the same chemical properties of an element and why?
3)Do isotopes have the same physical properties and why?
1)atoms with the same number of protons but different number of neutrons. same atomic number and different mass number
e.g chlorine-35 and chlorine-27 (different mass numbers)
2)Yes, same number electrons same configuration of electrons= same chemical properties
3)No, different (densities and rates of diffusion). which varies with isotopes different numbers of neutrons, which affects the mass number. Mass number determines the physical properties such as boiling/melting/density
1)explain John daltons model of the atom?
2)explain J.J. Thompsons model of the atom?
1)19th century, described atoms as solid spheres, different spheres made up different elements
2)an atom must contain even smaller negative charged particles- electrons surrounded by a positive charge (plum pudding model)
1)Explain the experiment which lead the Rutherford model (nuclear model) and the date?
2)describe Ernest Rutherfords model?
1)1909 fired alpha particles (positive charge) at very thin sheet of gold
expected:
from the PP model most alpha particles to be deflected by the positive charge of model
truth:
most alpha particles passed through the gold atoms very few deflected by the nucleus
2)tiny positively charged nucleus at the centre
surrounded by a cloud of negative electrons. mostly empty space
1)What was Bohrs models principles (3)?
2)what provided evidence for Bohrs models?
3)what mad the ‘cloud of electrons’ incorrect from Rutherfords model?
1)
1-electrons only exist in fixed orbits (shells)
2-each has a fixed energy so the radiation has fixed frequency
3-when an electron moves between shells electromagnetic radiation is emitted (down) or absorbed (up)
2) frequencies of radiation emitted and absorbed by atoms were already know form experiments.
3) spiral down into nucleus= atom collapse
1)what was later changed about Bohrs model?
2)what is the most accurate model of the atom?
1)not all electrons in shell had the same energy, so changed to have sub-shells.
2)quantum model based on quantum mechanics
1)what is relative mass?
2)Why use relative mass?
1)average mass of an atom of an element on a scale where carbon-12 is 12.
2)mass of atoms too small so, instead compare it to mass of one carbon atom
(not normally whole number)
1)what is relative isotopic mass?
1)mass of atom of an isotope of an element on a scale where an atom of carbon-12 is 12.
(usually whole number)
1)How to calculate the relative atomic mass of isotopes?
1)
1-find the percentage of the relative atomic mass of each isotope
2-add each isotope mass after step 1
3-divded by 100
1)What is relative molecular mass?
2)how do you find relative molecular mass?
1)average mass of a molecule on scale where an atom of carbon-12 is 12.
2)add up relative atomic mass values of all atoms in the molecule.
1)what is relative formula mass?
2)when is RFM used?
3)How do you find RFM?
1)average mass of a formula on scale where an atom of carbon-12 is 12.
2)compounds that are ionic, giant covalent
3)add up the RAM of all the ions in the formula unit. (same as RMM)
What do the plus and minus mean on ions?
Minus= negative charge gained an electrons
Plus= positive charge lost electrons
1)What do the atoms of the same element have?
2)How does the atomic and mass number change when atoms are isotopes?
1)same number of protons
2) same ATOMIC number but a different MASS number.
1)why do isotopes have the same chemical properties?
2)why do isotopes have different physical properties?
1) similar chemical properties because isotopes of an element have the same number of electrons as an atom of that element. The electron arrangement is the same owing to same chemical properties.
2) different numbers of neutrons, which affects the mass number. Mass number determines the physical properties such as boiling/melting/density
How to calculate isotope abundance?
1)What are the charges of atoms?
2)Atoms of the same element have the same amount of?
1)no electric charge contain the same number of protons and electrons
2)protons
1)what is a mass spec graph?
2)percentage mass spec graphs?
1)Mass spectrometry can be used to identify elements and relative molecular mass.
-giving accurate information about relative isotopic mass and also about the relative abundance of isotopes.
1)relative abundance mass spec graph?
1)
-The average mass of the periodic table doesn’t exist.
1)How can you find multiple isotopes of elements like chlorine?
1] -> use probability trees to find the ratio of a molecule to plot the graph
->isotopes of molecule come from a combined one, and two singles of the starting istopes
1)How to calculate isotope abundance calculations?
1) (massxpercentage/abundance)(massxpercenatge/abundance)/ 100
2)missing values in the table equate out of 100
1)what is a nitrade?
2)
1)nitrogen
2)
