Question | Answer |
Proton | subatomic particle with a positive charge and mass of 1 amu. Found inside the nucleus. |
Neutron | subatomic particle with neutral charge and a mass of 1 amu. Found inside the nucleus. |
Nucleon | protons and neutrons (found inside the nucleus) |
Electron | subatomic particle with a negative charge and no significant mass (1/1836 amu). Located outside nucleus |
Orbital | region outside the nucleus where you have a 90% probability of finding an electron |
Mass number | protons + neutrons. The top number in an elements notation. |
Atomic number | # protons |
Isotopes | same element (same # protons) but with different numbers of neutrons (different mass) |
Ions | elements that have a charge due to the gain or loss of electrons. Gaining electrons creates a negative ion |
Ground state | electrons are in their lowest energy levels (ie: magnesium, 2-8-2) |
Excited State | electrons are excited and at least one electron is in a higher than normal energy level (ie: magnesium 2-7-3) |
Electron configuration | lists the number of electrons in each energy level. Max #’s: 1st level: 2; 2nd level: 8; 3rd level: 18; 4th level: 32 |
Lewis (Electron) Dot Structure | element symbol with dots around it, representing the valence electrons. 1st 2 electrons are paired and the rest fill uniformly. |
Rutherford’s Gold Foil Experiment | alpha particles (+2) were aimed at gold foil. Two things were proven: 1-the atom is mostly empty space; 2-there is a dense positive center (nucleus) |
kernel | everything but the valence electrons (nucleus + inner electrons) |
Bohr Model | model of the atom with the nucleus surrounded by energy levels containing the electrons |
Wave Mechanical (Electron Cloud) Model | current atomic model. Electrons are located in orbitals (where you have a 90% probability of finding an electron) |
A negative ion | has more electrons than protons |
A positive ion | has more protons than electrons |
A neutral atom | # protons same as # electrons |
