Chemistry Atomic Structure A-Level

?
What does an atom consist of?
A nucleus containing protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons.
1 of 14
What is the relative atomic mass of a proton, neutron and an electron?
1,1 and 1/1840
2 of 14
How do the number of protons and electrons differ in an atom?
They are the same because atoms have a neutral charge.
3 of 14
What force s holds an atomic nucleus together?
Strong nuclear force.
4 of 14
What is the atomic number?
The number of protons + the number of neutrons
5 of 14
What is the mass number?
Number of protons + number of neutrons
6 of 14
What is an isotope?
An atom with the same number of protons but different number of neutrons.
7 of 14
Whats an ion?
A charged atom.
8 of 14
What is the function of a mass spectrometer?
It accurately determines the mass and abundance of separate molecules/ atoms to help with identification.
9 of 14
What is a mass spectrum?
The output from a mass spectrometer that shows the different isotopes that make up an element.
10 of 14
What is the total number of electron that each electron shell may contain?
2n^2 electrons, where n is the number of shell.
11 of 14
How many electrons can the first three electron shells hold each?
first =2
second = 8
third = 18
12 of 14
What is the equation for relative atomic mass (Ar)?
Average mass of 1 atom / 1/12th mass of 1 atom of 12C
13 of 14
What is the equation for relative molecular mass (Mr)?
Average mass of 1 molecule / 1/12th mass of 1 atom of 12C
