Chemistry-atoms and the periodic table

?
what is the relative atomic mass?
Ar. the mass of an element,measured on a scale that compares masses of atoms with carbon-12. used to express mass of an atom.
1 of 12
what is the symbol for relative molecular mass?
Mr
2 of 12
what is the name for the energy levels around the nucleus?
shells or orbits. first shell contains up to 2 electrons, shells 2 and 3, 8 electrons
3 of 12
how can we work out the number of electrons in a shell?
by seeing its proton/atomic number, as that will tell us the number of electrons, which is the same as the proton number.
4 of 12
what is electron configuration?
an alternative term for electronic structure
5 of 12
what does the group number tell us about the element?
gives us the number of electrons in the outer shell
6 of 12
what does the period tell us about the element?
indicates how many shells of electrons the atom has
7 of 12
what is an atom?
the simple particles-makes up all other molecules
8 of 12
how many different types of particles make up an atom?
3
9 of 12
where is most of the mass of an atom concentrated
the nucleus bc very tiny nucleus and big big and small electrons to move around
10 of 12
what is a double covalent bond?
each atom contributes two electrons each
