Atomic Structure and Bonding Flashcards

What is group 1 of the elements of the periodic table, where are they and what are their properties

Group 1 is called the alkali metals and they are known for being highly reactive

What is group 3-12 of the elements of the periodic table, where are they and what are their properties

Group 3-12 are transition metals and are all metals

What is group 7 of the elements of the periodic table, where are they and what are their properties

Group 7 is the halogens and they are known for being highly non-reactive and form salts a result

What is group 0 of the elements of the periodic table, where are they and what are their properties

Group 0 is noble gases and they are known for being highly unreactive 

What is the mass, charge and location of a proton

Mass - 1

Charge - +

Location - in the nucleus 

What is the mass, charge and location of a electron

Mass - 0

Charge - - 

Location - Orbiting the nucleus 

What is the mass, charge and location of a neutron

Mass - 1

Charge - 0 

Location - in the nucleus 

Label these parts of the nuclide notation

Mass number, charge, atomic number and symbol

What does mass number equal

Protons + neutrons

What do protons equal

The atomic number

What are isotopes

Atoms with the same atomic number and different mass numbers

What does RAM stand for 

Relative Atomic Mass

What is RAM (not what it stands for)

The average mass of all an atoms isotopes

What are ions

Ions are formed when an atom gains or loses electrons

How do you find an elements similar chemical property

By finding an element in the same group as it

What kind of density and melting point do alkali metals have

Low

Why are alkali metals stored in mineral oil

To stop them from reacting with air/oxygen and water

What is the formula for calculating RAM

RAM = (Mass of isotope A x abundance) + (Mass of isotope A x abundance) / 100

Note - It doesn’t always have to be two abundances
