Question
Answer
How are ions formed?   An ion is formed by the gain or loss of electrons from outside of the nucleus.  
🗑
What is the loss of a positively charged electron?   a cation  
🗑
What is the gain of a negatively charged electron?   an anion  
🗑
If you have an ion with 22 protons, 26 neutrons, and 19 electrons, what would be the chemical symbol (including mass #)?   48 22 Ti +3  
🗑
What is the primary reason for nuclear chemistry?   The main reason is the ratio of neutrons to the protons are off balance.  
🗑
When is an atom most stable?   An atom is most stable when the ratio is 1:1.  
🗑
What is the maximum ratio of stability for an atom?   It is between 1.5-1  
🗑
What are the four types of radiation?   They are alpha particles, beta particles, gamma ray, and a positron.  
🗑
What is the most dangerous radiation if consumed (inhaled)?   the most dangerous is the alpha particle.  
🗑
How fast does an alpha particle travel?   It travels about 1/10 the speed of light  
🗑
How fast does a beta particle travel?   It travels 1/4 the speed of light  
🗑
what kind of radiation is the gamma ray?   The gamma ray is high energy electromagnetic radiation.  
🗑
What always accompanies alpha and beta particles?   a gamma ray  
🗑
What kind of radiations travels at the speed of light?   a gamma ray  
🗑
What kind of radiation has the highest penetrating ability?   the gamma ray  
🗑
what can stop the gamma ray?   a heavy lead shield  
🗑
What is fusion?   Fusion is the combining of two nuclei to form one nucleus of larger mass.  
🗑
What kind of reaction does fusion require?   It requires thermonuclear reaction, which needs a temperature of 40,000,000 K to sustain fusion.  
🗑
What is 1 gram of fusion fuel equal to?   20 tons of coal.  
🗑
What occurs naturally in stars?   fusion  
🗑
What is fission?   Fission is the splitting of a nucleus into two or more smaller nuclei.  
🗑
What is 1 grams of 235U equal to?   3 tons of coal  
🗑
What is half-life?   Half life is the time required for half the atoms of a radioactive nuclide to decay. The shorter the half-life, the less stable the nuclide is.  
🗑
Who is generally credited with putting for the first ideas about atomic structure?   Democritus  
🗑
What did Democritus state in his "theory" about atomic structure?   He stated that all of matter consisted of invisible particles called "atoms" (Model is simple particle)  
🗑
Who proposed the first serious theories on the structure of matter?   Dalton  
🗑
What are Dalton's theories that still hold true today known as?   Dalton's Atomic Theory  
🗑
what does the law of Constant proportions say?   It states that the relative numbers and kinds of atoms remain constant for any given compound.  
🗑
What does the law of Multiple Proportions state?   It states that if two atoms are capable of combining to form more than one type of product, they do so in a ratio of small whole numbers.  
🗑
What statement did Dalton make that was untrue?   He said "The atom is indestructible."  
🗑
What are made up of subatomic particles?   Protons, neutrons and electrons  
🗑
What was the first subatomic particle to be discovered through the experiments performed with cathode ray tubes?   electrons  
🗑
What is the mass number?   the mass number is the number of protons added to the number of electrons.  
🗑
what is the atomic number?   the atomic number is the number of protons or electrons  
🗑
How are isotopes different from other atoms.   They differ only in the number of neutrons in the nucleus.  
🗑
Who discovered the electron?   J.J. Thomas discovered the electron.  
🗑
What is the Plum Pudding Model?   It is a positively charged shape that has randomly scattered electrons within it.  
🗑
What did Rutherford's Gold Foil Experiment prove?   His experiment proved the existance of the positively-charged nucleus.  
🗑
Who discovered the neutron?   James Chadwick discovered the neutron in 1932.  
🗑
What was implemented to avoid expression of long and difficult numbers used in atomic masses?   It is the atomic mass unit.  
🗑
Why do we use average atomic mass?   We use it because most elements exist in nature as a mixture of isotopes and we must express a large sample of the elements in an easier form to understand.  
🗑
How is Rutherford's model of the atom different from the "Plum Pudding" model?   Rutherford added a nucleus.  
🗑
What are the five types of radio-active decay?   1. Alpha Emission 2. Beta Emission 3. Positron Emission 4. Electron Capture 5. Gamma Decay  
🗑
