Describe the atomic structure of an atom. |
The nucleus is on the inside with Protons and Neutrons in it. The electron cloud surrounds the nucleus and has electrons in it. |
|
Identify all the subatomic particles and their properties. |
Proton - positive in the nucleus Electron - negative in the electron cloud Neutron - neutral in the nucleus |
|
What is atomic number? |
The number of protons |
|
Where can the atomic number be found on the periodic table? |
Its the number on top of the element sign |
|
What is mass number? |
The neutrons plus the protons. |
|
Can you find the mass number on the periodic table? And if so where? |
No you can't. |
|
What is atomic mass? |
The mass of something taking into account the abundance of each thing.
|
|
What is the equation for atomic mass? |
Atomic mass = mass A X % abundance + mass B X % abundance + ect. |
|
What is the difference between the Bohr Model & the Electron Cloud Model? |
The Bohr Model is far more simple than the Electron Cloud Model, it has rings surrounding the nucleus. The Electron Cloud Model has orbitals surrounding the nucleus. |
|
What are the 4 different atomic sublevels? |
S, P, D, F |
|
How many orbitals are in the S sublevel? |
1 |
|
How many orbitals are in the P sublevel? |
3 |
|
How many orbitals are in the D sublevel? |
5 |
|
How many orbitals are in the F sublevel? |
7 |
|
What is the maximum number of electrons each sublevel contains? |
S - 2 P - 6 D - 10 F - 14 |
|
What shape is the S sublevel? |
Spheracle |
|
What shape is the P sublevel? |
dumbbell |
|
What shape is the D sublevel? |
4 clover shaped & 1 dumbbell with a hula hoop. |
|
What shape is the F sublevel? |
Complex |
|
What are valence electrons? |
Electrons on the outermost energy level. |
|
What is the octet rule? |
All elements want to have the most stable electron configuration, which is the configuration for the noble gases. (8) |
|
How are valence electrons and the octet rule related? |
The octet rules is when elements want to have 8 valence electrons. |
|
How would you go about starting an abbreviated electron configuration? |
Go to the closest noble gas behind the element and write that in brackets. |
|
What is an ion? |
A changed particle caused by in imbalance in protons or electrons. |
|
If an element looses 2 electrons what sign (+ or -) do you put when writing it? |
+ |
|
How are elements arranged on the periodic table? |
Elements are arranged by rows and columns aka periods and groups/families |
|
What is the periodic law? |
the properties of the elements are periodic functions of their atomic numbers
|
|
Where are metals found on the periodic table? |
on the left side |
|
Where are non-metals found on the periodic table? |
on the right side of the periodic table |
|
Where are metalloids found on the periodic table? |
between the metals and the nonmetals |
|
What is the difference between a row and a column on the periodic table? |
A row goes straight across and a column goes up and down. |
|
What is another name for a row? |
A period |
|
What can columns also be called? |
Groups or families |
|
What are the names, locations, & properties for the different families on the periodic table? |
Non-metals = hydrogen & to the right of the "stair" (reactive) Alkali Earth = Lithium - Francium (very reactive) Alkaline Earth = Beryllium - Radium (very reactive) Transition Metals = the entire D block except Lanthanum & Actinium (reactive) Metals = To the left of the "stairs" (reactive) Metalloids = Boron, Silicon, Geranium, Arsenic, Antimony, Tellurium, Polonium. (sort of a stair case) (reactive) Halogens = Fluorine - Astatine (very reactive) Noble Gases = Helium - Radon (not reactive) |
|
What is nuclear charge? |
Nuclear charge is the attractive force between positive nucleus & electrons. |
|
What is the shielding effect? |
Shielding Effect is when electrons in lower energy levels shield the electrons in the higher energy levels from the full force of the nucleus. |
|
What is atomic radius? |
Atomic radius is half the distance between the nuclei of 2 atoms of the same element when joined. |
|
What is ionization energy? |
Ionization energy is the energy required to remove an electron from a neutral atom. |
|
What is electronegativity? |
Electronegativity is the ability of an atom to attract electrons when in a compound. |
|
Explain the trend and what causes Electronegativity. |
The nuclear charge ("pull") increases across a row causing the electronegativity to increase along with it. The shielding effect increases down a row causing the electronegativity to decrease down a row. |
|
Explain the trend and what causes Ionization Energy. |
The nuclear charge ("pull") increases across a row causing the atomic radius (distance between middles) to decrease, this increases the ionization energy. The shielding effect increases down a row making the ionization energy to decrease down a row. |
|
Explain the trend and what causes the electronegativity. |
It increases to the right because the nuclear charge "pull" increases to the right also. It decreases down a row as the shielding effect increases down a row. |
