Atoms, ions and compounds

?
What does an atom consist of?
protons, neutrons and electrons
1 of 12
what is an isotope?
an isotope is an atom of the same element with different number of neutrons and different masses
2 of 12
why do isotopes react in a similar way?
only the electrons are involved in chemical reactions
3 of 12
what is an ion?
this is a charged atom that has a different number of electrons
4 of 12
what is a cation?
this is a positive ion with less electrons than protons
5 of 12
what is an anion?
This is a negative ion with more electrons than protons
6 of 12
what is relative isotopic mass?
the mass of an isotope relative to 1/12th of the mass of an atom of carbon-12
7 of 12
what is relative atomic mass?
this is the weighted mean mass of an atom of an element relative to 1/12th of the mass of an atom of carbon-12
8 of 12
what does the weighted mean mass take into account?
1. percentage abundance of each isotope 2.relative isotopic mass of each isotope
9 of 12
how do you determine relative atomic mass?
mass spectrometer
10 of 12
what are the four steps of mass spectrometry?
print
11 of 12
what are the five main ions that we need to know?
Ammonium NH4+, hydroxide OH-, nitrate NO3-, carbonate CO32- and sulphate SO42-
