| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| proton | positively charged nucleon of 1 amu |
| neutron | neutral (no charge) nucleon of 1amu |
| electron | negatively charged particle outside of the nucleus rounded to 0amu |
| Atomic number (Z) | the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. It is also known as the proton number. |
| convergence | higher levels/shells get closer together |
| Aufbau principle | Electrons fill orbitals of lower energy first |
| Hund's rule | Electrons fill unoccupied orbitals first and spin in the same direction |
| Pauli exculsion principle | Paired electrons have opposite spin |
| Ionic compound | formed from the attraction of positive ions (cations) and negative ions (anions). Metal and a non-metal. EN difference >1.8. |
| Covalent compound. | formed by sharing electrons. 2 non-metals. EN difference <0.4 non-polar, 0.4-1.8 polar. |
| Mass number (A) | the sum of the number of protons and the number of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. |
| isotope | atoms of the same element with the same atomic number, but different mass numbers. Same protons, difference neutrons. |
| first ionisation energy | the energy required to remove one mole of electrons from one mole of atoms of a gaseous element |
| X(g) --> X+ + e- | first ionisation energy |
| X+(g)--> X,2+(g) +e- | second ionisation energy |
| Group | vertical columns of the periodic table |
| Period | horizontal rows of the periodic table |
| Electronegativity | is a measure of the ability of an atom to attract bonded electron pairs to itself when in a covalent bond |
| Na(s) + H2O(l) → | NaOH(aq) + H2(g) |
| 2Na(s) + Cl2(g) → | 2NaCl(s) |
| Na2O(s) + H2O(l) --> | 2NaOH(aq) |
| MgO(s) + H2O(l) --> | Mg(OH)2(aq) |
| P4O10(s) + 6H2O(l) --> | 4H3PO4(aq) |
| SO2(g) + H2O(l) --> | H2SO3(aq) |
| SO3(l) + H2O(l) --> | H2SO4(aq) |
| anions | Ions with a negative charge |
| cations | Ions with a positive charge |
| Metallic bonds | the electrostatic attraction between a lattice of positive ions and delocalized electrons |
| Atomic radius | Half the distance between the nuclei of two like atoms |
| Atomic mass unit | 1/12 the weight of a carbon-12 isotope |
| Nucleon | proton or neutron |
