Atomic number - define
The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom + electrons
1 of 35
Mass number - define
The number of protons and neutrons in nucleus of an atom
2 of 35
Isotopes
Atoms of the same element with a different mass number, but the same number of protons + electrons
3 of 35
Avogadros constant
The number of particles in a mole of any atom - 6.02x10^23
4 of 35
Relative isotopic mass
The average mass of isotopes - takes account of their abundances
5 of 35
Relative atomic mass
The mass of an atom relative to 1/12th of the mass of C12 atom
6 of 35
Relative formula mass
The sum of all the relative atomic masses of all atoms in a molecule - IONS
7 of 35
Relative molecular mass
The sum of all the relative atomic masses of all atoms in a molecule- COVALENT
8 of 35
Molecular formula
The actual number of atoms of each element in a compound
9 of 35
Empiricle formula
The simplest whole number ratio of atoms of each element in a compound

How does absorption spectra occur?
Electrons are excited to a higher energy level by absorbing light/energy , emits IR radiation/light which is visible as colored lines on a black background , the energy absorbed corresponds to frequency by E=hv gaps btwn energy levels = unique
11 of 35
How do you get the energy absorbed/emitted for one mole into molecules?
Divide the energy by Avogadros constant
12 of 35
What is the definition of half life?
The time taken for half the radioactive nuclei to decay
13 of 35
What is nuclear fusion?
When lighter atoms join to form a heavier atom in high pressure + high temp
14 of 35
Properties of radioactive tracers?
long enough half life to enable detection, emit gamma to enable detection + minimise ionisation to cells, short half life to prevent damage DNA + ionise cells, small dose - harmful , easy to remove from the body

Who designed the billiard ball model + what does it look like?
Dalton - solid ball representing the nucleus - atoms are solid and indivisible
16 of 35
Who designed the plum pudding model + what does it look like?
Thompson - ball representing the nucleus with electrons dotted inside the nucleus - negatively charged electrons surrounding a positive core
17 of 35
Who designed the Rutherford model
Rutherford - electrons in one shell surrounding the nucleus
18 of 35
How did the Rutherford model come into existence - experiment?
Geiger + Rutherford - fired alpha particles at a gold nucleus
19 of 35
What did Rutherford + Geiger find?
99.9% of the atom was empty space due to alpha going through, the nucleus has a positive charge -some rebounded straight back , the nucleus has a high mass- some deflected
20 of 35
What does the Bohr emission spectrum tell us?
That the electrons are in defined shells using the emission spectrum
21 of 35
What is the modern model
Electrons are in sub-shells + lobes
22 of 35
What happens to the reactivity of the group 2 elements as you go down the group?
increases
23 of 35
What happens to the solubility of hydroxides of the group 2 elements as you go down the group?
increases
24 of 35
What happens to the solubility of carbonates of the group 2 elements as you go down the group?
decreases
25 of 35
What happens to the thermal stability of carbonates of the group 2 elements as you go down the group?
increases
26 of 35
trend of pH as you go down group 2?
increases
27 of 35
Reaction for the reaction of group 2 metals with water
(equation)
28 of 35
Reaction for the reaction of group 2 metal oxides with acid
(equation)
29 of 35
Reaction for the reaction of group 2 hydroxides with acid
(equation)

How did Mendeleev arrange the periodic table in comparison to the modern one?
He ordered elements in terms of their atomic mass, NOW = atomic mass
31 of 35
Why did Mendeleev swap iodine + telleurium?
their properties didnt fit with the group they were originally placed in
32 of 35
Parts of the mass spec?
SAMPLE INLET-gaseous atom,IONISATION AREA - hit with pulse/stream of high energy electrons , which knocks off an electron + ionises it,ACCELERATION AREA-given the same KE 1/2mv2 ,TIME OF FLIGHTspeed @which they move depends on the size,DETECTOR-graph
33 of 35
What is the base peak?
The most common fragment
34 of 35
What is the molecular ion peak?
The sample which was placed in- the Mr of the whole molecule
