2. ATOMIC STRUCTURE
Term | Definition |
---|---|
DALTON: ATOMS | 1. all matter is composed of atoms 2. atoms cannot be created or destroyed 3. atoms of different elements are different 4. atoms can combine to form molecules |
ATOMIC RADIUS | 10^(-10)m |
NUCLEAR RADIUS | 10^(-15)m |
ATOMIC NUMBER | the number of protons in the nucleus |
MASS NUMBER | the number of protons plus the number of neutrons in an atom |
ISOTOPES | Atoms of the same element with different mass numbers/different numbers of neutrons |
ISOTOPES PROPERTIES | 1. same chemical properties 2. different physical properties: melting and boiling points |
ALPHA PARTICLES | too little neutrons 2 protons + 2 neutrons |
BETA PARTICLES | too much neutrons electron from neutron decay |
GAMMA RAYS | electromagnetic radiation |
CARBON14 DATING | neutron => proton and electron, electron released as beta particle |
IONS | kation+ anion- |
MASS SPECTROMETER | vaporization ionization acceleration deflection detection |
RELATIVE ATOMIC MASS | is the average mass of an atom of an element, taking into account all its isotopes and their relative abundance, compared to one atom of carbon12 |
ABSORPTION SPECTRUM | when light is passed through something, some colours are missing |
EMISSION SPECTRUM | when high voltage is applied, then lines are seen |
ENERGY OF PHOTONS | the energy of a photon is directly proportional to its frequency and inversely proportional to its wavelength |
FIRST IONIZATION ENERGY | the minimum energy required to remove one mol of electrons from one mole of gaseous atoms in their ground state |
PATTERNS IN IONIZATION ENERGIES | there is in increase in successive ionization energies there are jumps when electrons are removed from levels closer to the nucleus |
WAVE AND PARTICLES MODELS | sometimes as wave: electrons through graphite, sometimes as particles |
UNCERTAINTY PRINCIPLE, HEISENBERG | we cannot know where an electron is at a given moment in time, we only can get the probability picture where it is likely to be |
ORBITAL | a wave description of an electron, shows the volume of space where the electron is likely to be |
S ORBITAL | spherical |
P ORBITAL | 3 p orbitals 2x1, arranged at right angles with the nucleus |
D ORBITAL | 5 d orbitals 4x1, right angles with nucleus |
PAULI EXCLUSION PRINCIPLE | no more than two electrons can occupy any one orbital, and if two electrons are in the same orbital they must spin in opposite directions |
AUFBAU PRINCIPLE | electrons are placed into orbitals of lowest energy first |
COPPER AND CROMIUM | after e3, e4 and e5 are taken simultaneously |
IF TWO ELECTRONS IN SAME SUBSHELL | easier to remove one because of repulsive force from other |
