Spectrometer

step 1: Vapourtion, if sample is solid its vaporised by heating

step 2: ionisation, beam of electron from an electron gun knocks out electron from atom/molecules to form +ve charged ions 

step 3: Acceleration, +ve ions attracted by -ve charged plates & accelerated at high speed. lighter ions reach first

step 4: Deflection, beam of ions move into magnetic field at right angle to it direction of tavel, magnetic field deflect it into an arc of circle. lighter ions defleted more 

step 4: Detection, magnetic field gradually increased so ions of incresing mass enter, ions strike detector gain an electron & becomes -ve. computer works out it mass spectrum.

ionisation energy

  1. Ionisation enery is the energy needed to remove 1 mole of electrons from 1 mole of 1 mole of atom in it gaseous state 
  2. First ionisation s energy needed to remove1 electron from a neutral atom 

Equation (= + at the top) 

1st IE   atom(g) ----> atom (g) + e- 2nd IE     atom*(g) ---> atom2* (g) + e-

eg.       Na(g) ----> na*(g) + e-

ionisation energy decreases s you go down the group, this is because;

  • group tells you the number of electrons on the outer shell, priod tells you how many shells 
  • as you go down the groups the eectrons gets furter away from the nuclers o easier to ionise 
  • as you go down the group the period increases, therefore more shells acting as elctron shielding

why is it that as we go from magnesium to aluminium the ionisation energy decreases?

  • because the outer electron for magnesium is in 3s(2) ortibal and the orbital is full 
  • whereas the outer electron for aluminium is in 3p(1) orbital and is not full(only 1 electron) so its easier to lose.

why is it that a the ionisation energy for phosphorus is higher that sulfur ?

  • because in phosphrus each of the 3p orbital contain just 1 electron so no repulsion 
  • whereas in sulfur 1 of the 3p orbital has 2 electron so there's repusion between the two electrons

                                          64.2g
