Unit 2 (Atoms, Elements, and Atomic Mass) Flashcards
Microscopic particles that compose all matter
Atoms
Positively charged Sub-atomic Particle
Proton
Neutral charged Sub-atomic Particle
Neutron
Negatively charged Sub-atomic Particle
Electron
Determined by the number of protons in an atom’s nucleus
Atomic Number
Seen as subscript next to an element’s symbol
Atoms with the same number or protons but a different number of neutrons
Isotopes
Isotopes have the same atomic number but a different mass number
The sum of protons and neutrons in an atom
Mass Number
Seen as superscript next to an element’s symbol
An atom in which the number of neutrons is equal to the number of protons
Neutral Atom
Positively charged ion
Cation
Negatively charged ion
Anion
An atom or group of atoms that has a net positive or negative charge
Ion
Only the number of electrons change in Ions
What is Avogadro’s number?
6.022 x 10^23
1 mol of something is 6.022 x 10^23 units of that thing
The mass of 1 mol of atoms
Molar Mass
Found in the Periodic Table directly under the element symbol
How do you convert between the number of atoms/molecules and the number of moles?
Avogadro’s Number
How do you convert between the number of moles and mass in grams?
Molar Mass
