soru English cevap English
What are atoms?
öğrenmeye başla
Tiny particles that make up all elements and substances
What is the structure of an atom?
öğrenmeye başla
A central nucleus containing protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons in shells
Which particles are found in the nucleus?
öğrenmeye başla
Protons and neutrons
Where are electrons found?
öğrenmeye başla
In the shells around the nucleus
What is the relative mass of a proton & neutron?
öğrenmeye başla
1
What is the relative mass of an electron?
öğrenmeye başla
Very small (1/2000)
Why is an atom neutral?
öğrenmeye başla
Because the number of protons equals the number of electrons
What is an ion?
öğrenmeye başla
A charged particle formed when an atom gains or loses electrons
What happens when an atom loses electrons?
öğrenmeye başla
It becomes a positive ion
What happens when an atom gains electrons?
öğrenmeye başla
It becomes a negative ion
What is the atomic number?
öğrenmeye başla
The number of protons in an atom
What does the atomic number tell you?
öğrenmeye başla
Which element it is
What is the mass number?
öğrenmeye başla
The total number of protons and neutrons
How do you calculate neutrons
öğrenmeye başla
Number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number
What are isotopes?
öğrenmeye başla
Atoms of the same element with the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons
Why do isotopes have different masses?
öğrenmeye başla
Because they contain different numbers of neutrons
Why do isotopes react the same chemically?
öğrenmeye başla
Because they have the same number of electrons
What is relative atomic mass?
öğrenmeye başla
The average mass of all the isotopes of an element
How is relative atomic mass calculated?
öğrenmeye başla
Sum of (isotope abundance x isotope mass) / total abundance
What is an electron configuration?
öğrenmeye başla
The arrangement of electrons in shells around the nucleus
Why are full outer shells important?
öğrenmeye başla
Atoms are more stable when their outer shell is full
Why are noble gases unreactive?
öğrenmeye başla
They already have full outer electron shells
What ion does sodium form?
öğrenmeye başla
Na+ because it loses 1 electron
What ion does fluorine form?
öğrenmeye başla
F- because it gains 1 electron
What ion does calcium form?
öğrenmeye başla
Ca2+ because it loses 2 electrons
