Utt Module 1 Flashcards
Define matter
Anything that occupies space(has volume) and has mass
What is matter made up of
a substance made of elements which have specific physical properties and cannot be broken down into simple substances
how much elements are there and how much are natural
118 element only 92 are natural and the others are made in labs and are unstable
Define the term atom
An atom is the smallest, identifiable unit of matter that retains all of the chemical properties of an element
What are the subatomic particles of an atom
proton
electron
neutron
What is the relative charge of a proton
+1
How are the subatomic particles arranged in the atom
the protons and neutrons are grouped together in the nucleus while the electrons orbit around the nucleus on the shells.(travel around the nucleus in circular orbits
what is the relative charge of an electron
-1
what is the relative charge of a neutron
0
what is the relative mass of a proton
1
what is the relative mass of a neutron
1
what is the relative mass of an electron
negligible
1/1840
Define atomic number of an atom
the number of protons in an element
What is the atomic number denoted by
Z
What is another name for atomic number
proton number
The number of protons is equal to the
atomic number and number of electrons
the number of electrons in an atom is equal to
the number of protons
define electrically neutral
has no net charge therefore the number of proton and electrons are neutral
define the mass number of an atom
the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom
The mass number is denoted by
A
Explain the periodic table notation of an atom
the atomic number is at the top left of the periodic tile
the element symbol is at the center with the name below
the atomic weight is
the average atomic mass is under the name
ZA
Explain the nuclear notation of an atom
A
X
Z
The element’s symbol is at the center with the mass number at the top and the atomic number below
AZ
What is the nucleon number of an atom
the mass number which is the number of protons and neutrons in an atom
How is the periodic table arranged
the atomic number increases horizontally therefore if reading in the order of the number of protons you read it horizontally. Also the period increases every row whilst the group increases every column
list the first 30 elements of the periodic table
