Name the subatomic particles including charge and mass
proton; charge 1, mass 1 neutron; charge 0, mass 1 electron; mass 1/1836, charge -1
1 of 30
Define mass number
mass of an atom (protons and neutrons)
2 of 30
Define atomic number
number of protons (and electrons) in an atom
3 of 30
How are ions formed?
losing or gaining electrons
4 of 30
Define isotope
atoms of the same element (same number of protons and electrons) but a different number of neutrons
5 of 30
What was the atomic model by the greek philosophers?
all matter consisted of smaller building blocks. (beginnings of atom)
6 of 30
What did JJThomson believe about the atom?
negative corpuseles were suspended in a sea of positive charge and that atoms had no empty space. It was known as the plum pudding model.
7 of 30
What did Ernest Rutherord discover about the atom?
positive matter is concentrated in the centre and negative charge orbits the outside. (gold sheet alpha particles experiment)
8 of 30
What extra did Neils Bohr add to the atom model?
orbitals
9 of 30
What is the quantum mechanics model of the atom
electrons are both waves and particles and in this model we can predict electron movement

How does electron impact ionisation work? include a half equation
-high energy electron fired at sample from electron gun -an outer electron is knocked off the atom forming a 1+ ion - Cl(g) arrow Cl+(g) + e-
11 of 30
how does eletrospray ionisation work?
-sample dissolved in volatile solvent - sample is injected through a fine needle to give a fine mist - tip of the needle is attched to a positive terminal of high voltage supply - partilce gains H+ ion from solvent - XH+ ion formed

Why must you ionise molecules in mass spectrometry?
- only ions interact with and be accelerated by the electric field - only ions will create a current when hitting the dectector
13 of 30
How are ions seperated in a TOF mass spectrometer?
- positive ions accelerated by an electric field to a constant kinetic energy -ions with smaller m/z have same kinetic energy as those woth greater m/z so smaller ones travel faster - ions with smaller m/z arrive at the detector first
14 of 30
How is abundance measured in a TOF mass spectrometer?
-ions hit negative plate of detector and ion accepts an electron causing a current - size of current is proportional to abundance of isotope
15 of 30
What can sometimes happen in electron impact ionisation?
molecules fragment
16 of 30
Give the formula for average relative atomic mass
total(massxabundance) / total abundance
17 of 30
If an isotope of mass 10 has an abundance of 23 and isotope mass 11 has an abundance of 100 what is the relative atomic mass?
10.8
18 of 30
What two combined formulas give TOF?
KE = 1/2 mv2 V=d/t so d/t = squareroot(2KE/m)
19 of 30
KE=1.1x10-3 J T=1.07x10-6 s m= 60g work out distance(d)
1.59m
20 of 30
In what order are the orbitals?
1s 2s 2p 3s 3p 4s 3d 4p etc
21 of 30
Which two elements have strange electron arrangements and why?
copper and chromium because an electron moves from 4s orbital to complete a row in 3d orbital
22 of 30
How do you work out ion electron configuration?
Add or take electrons from subshells in order except from the 4s and 3d subshell in which 4s is removed first
23 of 30
What is ionisation energy?
the energy required to remove a mole of electrons from a mole of atoms in the gaseous state
24 of 30
what happens to ionisation energy as each successive electron is removed?
each electron requires more energy than the last but there is a significant change when the first electron is removed from a new principle energy level
25 of 30
What happens to ionisation energies down a group?
outer electrons are further from the nucleus so have more shielding and therefore the elements lower in the group have lower ionisation energies
26 of 30
What happens as you go across a period?
the atomic radius decreases and proton number increases so positive charge increases and therefore ionisation energy increases
27 of 30
What causes dips and decreases in ionisation energy across a period?
when a new subshell/orbital is reached due to increased shielding and when all single electrons begin to form pairs due to electron replusion making it easier to remove electrons
28 of 30
Summarise the factors affecting ionisation energy
major factors; strength of nuclear charge (proton increases), atomic radius, shielding minor factors; paring of electron (repulsion), new subshell (minor shielding)

Write the first ionisation energy for sodium
Na(g) ARROW Na+(g) + e-
