Atomic Number

number of protons in the nucleus of an atom, identifies the element

2
New cards

Calculating Atomic Mass

atomic masses are weighted averages that take into account the natural abundances of each isotope

<p>atomic masses are weighted averages that take into account the natural abundances of each isotope</p>
3
New cards

Mass number

the protons and neutrons in the nucleus. Equal to the number of nucleons. Identifies an isotope, always a whole number

4
New cards

Isotope

atoms of the same elements with a different number of neutrons. Mass number and number of nucleons will be different as well. Same atomic #, different mass # or same # of protons, different # of neutrons

5
New cards

Isotopic notation

symbol of the element,the element’s atomic number and the mass number

<p>symbol of the element,the element’s atomic number and the mass number</p>
6
New cards

Ion

a charged particle formed by the loss or gain of an atom’s valance electrons

Dalton Model (1803)

The atom is a solid indivisible sphere, also known as “Billiard Ball” model

Thompson Model (1897)

known as the Plum Pudding model, discovered the electron. The atom is a sphere with small electrons embedded in a positively charged mass

Rutherford Model (1911)

The atom is mostly empty space with a small dense nucleus with electrons moving around it like the planets move around the sun.

Bohr Model (1913)

The electrons in an atom move in circular fixed orbits at fixed distances from the nucleus. Problem is that this model only worked for explaining Hydrogen

region of high probability of finding an electron

Electron Configuration Rules

Aufbau Principal: electrons occupy the orbitals of lowest energy first

Pauli Exclusion Principal: no two electrons can occupy the same space in an orbital

Hund’s Rule: each orbital can hold 2 electrons - fill each orbital /w 1 electron before pairing electrons in an orbital

14
New cards

Electron Configuration

electrons are distributed in the electron cloud into principal energy levels (1, 2, 3..), sublevels (s, p, d, f), orbitals (s has 1, p has 3, d has 5, f has 7) and spin (2 electrons allowed per orbital)

15
New cards

Valance Electrons

-the electrons in the outermost energy level

-the only electrons in a chemical reaction, # of electrons determine how atom will react

-Lewis/Electron dot diagrams show valance electrons only

New cards

Cation

an atom with 1, 2 , or 3 valence electrons will lose those electrons to become a stable ion, a positive ion is called a cation

New cards

Anion

an atom with 5, 6, or 7 valence electrons will gain electrons to become a stable ion, a negative ion is called an anion

18
New cards

Group

Vertical columns on the PT where all the elements have the same # of valance electrons, have similar properties and the size of atoms increase as you go down a group

19
New cards

Period

Horizontal rows on the PT where elements have the same # of energy levels

size of atoms decrease as you move across period

20
New cards

Electronegativity

the ability to attract electrons in a chemical bond

21
New cards

Ionization Energy

energy required to remove a valance electron from an atom

22
New cards

Atomic Radius

Size of an atom, measured by the distance between two nuclei of the same atom

Atomic radius increases as you go down a group because there are an increasing number of principal energy levels

New cards

Metal

elements to the left of the staircase, except hydrogen. Properties of metals include luster, conductivity, malleability, ductility, and losing electrons easily

25
New cards

Non-Metals

elements to the right of the staircase, plus hydrogen. Non-metals are dull, brittle, nonconductors ans gain electrons easily

26
New cards

Metalloid

6 elements that border the staircase, they have metallic and nonmetallic properties simultaneously. Often uses in technology because they are semiconductors

27
New cards

Transition Metal

these elements in groups 3-12 are brightly colored solutions and have multiple positive oxidation numbers, less reactive than groups 1 and 2

28
New cards

Alkali Metal

most reactive metals on the PT, contain one valance electron and can not be found in nature b/c of their reactivity

29
New cards

Alkaline Earth Metal

metals in group 2 that contain 2 valance electrons. Can not be found in nature but are less reactive than alkali metals

30
New cards

Halogen

nonmetal elements in group 17 and each element contain 7 valance electrons. This is the only group containing elements that exist in all 3 phases (F2 and Cl2 are gases, Br2 is a liquid, I2 is a solid

31

Noble Gas

nonmetal elements in group 18, each has a full set of valance electrons and are nonreactive

32
New cards

Malleable

ability to be pounded into sheets

33
New cards

Ductile

ability to be pulled into a wire
