Question
Answer
how to find the atomic mass   Average of protons and neutrons  
🗑
how to find the atomic mass number   add protons and neutrons together  
🗑
why do electrons not count towards the atomic mass?   electron's are so small their weight is insignificant  
🗑
how to find the number of neutrons   atomic mass (rounded) - the number of protons  
🗑
define an ion   atom with a net electric charge due to the gain or loss of electrons  
🗑
how to find the number of electrons   protons minus the charge (divided by -1)  
🗑
define atomic mass   the weighted average of all isotopes  
🗑
how much is the atomic mass unit in comparison to the carbon-12 atom?   atomic mass unit=1/12th the mass of a carbon 12 atom. (carbon has 6 protons and 6 neutrons)  
🗑
how to determine the atomic mass   %=abundance * isotope + %=abundance * isotope =atomic mass (abundance= % in regular number form)  
🗑
how to determine which isotope is the most common out of a distribution   go to the periodic table and look at the atomic mass, round it to the isotope that has the nearest number  
🗑
what louis de broglie discover   the slower an electron moves and the faster an electron moves, the more it acts like a particle and the more it acts like a wave (respectively)  
🗑
what did Erwin schrodinger discover   there are different sizes depending on their energy, and different types of orbitals depending on shape of wavelength  
🗑
what are the different letters of the probability clouds   s-clouds=sphere path, p-clouds=double pea in a pod shape (infinity symbol)  
🗑
how is the letter of the probability cloud formed   electron runs along the wavelength, then the nucleus in the middle of the wavelength pulls the electron back (- and + charge)  
🗑
Heisenburg Uncertainty principle   there is no way to find out the position AND velocity of an electron at the same time.  
🗑
what does "v" represent in terms of light waves?   frequency  
🗑
define ㅅ   wavelength  
🗑
define c   speed of light (3.0x10^8)  
🗑
define e   energy  
🗑
define h   planks constant (6.626x10^-34)  
🗑
equation for frequency   V=c/ㅅ  
🗑
equation for energy (2)   E=hv or E= hc/ㅅ  
🗑
What causes the light's color to be seen?   phosphorus absorbing UV light and remitting it as visible light.  
🗑
What was Bohr's explanation or the atomic spectrum   The energy of an electron depends on its distance from the nucleus.  
🗑
ground state   electron is closer to the nucleus; has less energy  
🗑
excited state   electron has absorbed energy and moved AWAY from nucleus.  
🗑
Does the transition from ground to excited state cause any light to be emitted?   No, it's just like charging a battery  
🗑
What is ionization energy   When there is too much energy in an electron , it will pop out of the atomic spectra (therefore meaning no color emitted)  
🗑
how many energy rings does s, p, d, and f have?   1, 3, 5, 7  
🗑
Define electron configuration   The position of an atom's electrons around the nucleus  
🗑
What is the Aufbau Principle   Electrons fill orbitals with the lowest energy requirements. each ring=quantum.  
🗑
Pauli Exclusion Principle   An orbital will only hold 2 electrons  
🗑
what causes the form of the orbitals?   an electron is traveling in a wavelength form and the nucleus that is in the middle of the wavelength pulls the electron back, creating a mirrored path of the electron's original path.  
🗑
inside the orbital, what are the two electrons doing?   spinning in different directions, away from each other (opposite charges)  
🗑
what causes the two electrons to be a little attracted?   Electrons have opposite poles facing each other, so the poles connect, but that doesn't connect the negative charges.  
🗑
Hund's Rule   Each orbital in a sub-level is single occupied before any are doubly occupied.  
🗑
millikan discovery   discovered weight of electron and exact charge  
🗑
Democritus discovery   said that all thing are made up of their own atoms  
🗑
define orbital   area of probability where the electrons are found  
🗑
