Unit 2 - Mr Shah Flashcards
Define Relative Isotopic Mass
The mass of an atom of an isotope compared with 1/12 of carbon -12
Define an Isotope
Atoms of the same element with the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons and different masses
Define An Orbital
The region where an electron is
Define First Ionisation Energy
The energy required to remove one mole of electrons (to infinity) from one mole of gaseous atoms to form one mole of gaseous positive ions
Define a Covalent Bond
The strong electrostatic attraction between a shared pair of electrons and the nuclei of the bonded atom
Define a Dative covalent bond
A shared pair of electrons in which ONLY one of the bonded atoms provides the bonded pair
Define Ionic Bonding
The electrostatic attraction between positive and negative ions
Define electronegativity
A measure of the attraction of a bonded atom for the pair of electrons in a covalent bond
Define a Dipole
A separation in electrical charge so that one atom of a polar covalent bond, or one end of a polar molecule, has a small positive charge, and the other has a small negative charge
Define a permanent Dipole
A small charge difference that doesn’t change across a bond, with partial charges on the bonded atoms: resulting in the bonded atoms having different electronegativities.
What is the name and angle of a compound with 2 electron pairs?
Linear, 180 degrees
What is the name and angle of a compound with 3 electron pairs?
Trigonal Planar, 120 degrees
What is the name and angle of a compound with 4 electron pairs?
Tetrahedral, 109.5 degrees
What is the name and angle of a compound with 5 electron pairs?
Trigonal Bipyramidal, 90 and 120 degrees
What is the name and angle of a compound with 6 electron pairs?
Octahedral, 90 degrees
With what 3 atoms does hydrogen bonding take place?
N,F and O
What is the relative mass and charge of a proton?
1 and +
What is the relative mass and charge of a neutron?
1 and 0 (neutral)
What is the relative mass and charge of an electron?
1/2000 and -
What do we use a mass spectrometer for?
To weigh atoms in a compound to find their abundance
What is the equation for Relative atomic mass from a mass spectrometer?
the sum of(relative atomic mass x abundance) / 100
