What is meant by the term ‘Relative Atomic Mass’ (Ar)?

The weighted mean mass of an atom compared to 1/12th the mass of carbon-12.

3
New cards

What is meant by ‘Relative Formula Mass’ (Mr)?

The weighted mean mass of a formula unit compared to 1/12th the mass of carbon-12.

(blanket term for any formula - particularly ionic compounds/giant structures)

New cards

What is meant by ‘Relative Molecular Mass’ (Mr)?

The weighted mean mass of a molecule compared to the 1/12th the mass of carbon-12.

(Used only for simple covalent molecules (e.g.H2O))

How would you predict Ionic Charges from the periodic table?

Using group number.

Group 1 metals - Form +1 ions by losing one electron

(Group 2 & 3 form +2 & +3)

Group 5 non-metals - Form -3 ions by gaining three electrons

(Group 6 forms -2 ions & Group 7 form -1 ions)
