valency, isotopes, atomic and mass numbers Flashcards
what happens to the vaency when the outershell is full
its valency will be 0
what is octet
when the outermost shell has 8 electrons
what do you do to achieve octet. explain combining capacity
by sharing,gaining, loosing electrons octet can be recieved this is also called combining capacity
why do chemical reactions occur
when elements share electons. this also gives us a compound
define valency
combing capacity of an element is the definition of valency
how will u find the valency of chlorine sulphur and magnesium
chlorine is 1
S is 2
Mg is 0
how do you denote mass and atomic number
atomic number is denoted with Z
mass number is denoted with A
how do you find mass number
mass number is = protons + neutrons
number of electrons determine ______
valency
whats a neucleon
proton + neutron (which is also equal to atomic mass
special properties of isotopes
uranium is used for neuclear reactions
colbalt is used in cancer treatments
iodine is used for goitre treatments
