2 Atomic structure

?
Compound
Substance made by chemically combining two or more elements.
1 of 11
Atomic number
Defined as number of protons in nucleus (and number of electrons)
2 of 11
Mass number
Defined as the number of protons and neutrons in an atom.
3 of 11
Isotopes
Atoms of the same element with different mass numbers.
4 of 11
Cations
Positive ions (atom that has lost electron/s)
5 of 11
Anions
Negative ions (atom that has gained electron/s)
6 of 11
First ionisation energy
The energy needed to remove one mole of electrons from one mole of gaseous atoms to form one mole of gaseous 1+ ions.
7 of 11
Hund's rule
If more than one orbital in a sub-level is available, electrons occupy different orbitals with parallel spins.
8 of 11
Pauli exclusion principle
no more than two electrons can occupy any one orbital, and if two electrons are in the same orbital they must spin in opposite directions.
9 of 11
Electron arrangement
The number of electrons in each MAIN energy level.
10 of 11
Electron configuration
The number of electrons in each SUB-LEVEL.
