Year 11 Outcome 1 (c1-5) Flashcards
How do you find the mass number simply?
Protons+neutrons
What are shells?
Shells are principle quantum number with several sub shells within it of different energy levels
How many meters is one nanometer?
1nm = 10^-9m
What are ions?
They are atoms that have lost or gained electrons
What do electrons need to change energy levels?
They need to absorb energy
What produces an emission spectra?
When an electron transitions from higher to lower energy states
What is a molecule?
A group of atoms that are bonded together
What is an isotope?
An atom of an element with the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons and atomic masses
What are the subshells? (chart)
1s 2s 2p 3s 3p 3d 4s 4p 4d 4f 5s 5p 5d 6s 6p 7s
How big is the width of human hair?
5.0 x 10^4 nm
What is the Pauli exclusion principle?
That an orbital can contain only 0,1 or 2 electrons
What is a trend with metallic character?
It decreases across a period and increases down a group
What are properties of non-metals?
- low melting and boiling points
- poor conductors of heat and electricity
- transparent in a thin sheet
- dull coloured
- brittle when solid
- weak
- forms negative ions
What are properties of metals?
- high melting and boiling points
- good conductors of heat and electricity
- opaque
- shiny appearance
- ductile and malleable
- strong
- forms positive ions
What is ionization energy?
The energy required to remove an electron from a gaseous atom
What are the trends in electronegativity?
It generally increases across a period and decreases down a group
What are the trends in reducing strength?
It decreases across a period and increases down a group
What are the trends in oxidating strength?
It increases across a period and decreases down a group
What are the trends in atom size?
It decreases across the periodic table and increases down the groups
How are elements organised in the periodic table?
They are organised relevant to their chemical properties and characteristics
What is the nuclear charge?
It is the charge of the protons in the nucleus. Nuclear charge increases as you go across the periodic table.
What is an ionic bond?
A transfer of electrons from a metal to a non-metal
