all matter is composed of _______, and each of these is distinguishable from the others by the physical and chemical properties of its basic component: the atom.
|
Element
|
|
2 or more atoms chemically combined, may or may not be of the same element (impure forms).
|
Molecule
|
|
at one point it was believed to be the smallest indivisible particle of matter but is now known to have a substructure and can be divided into smaller components. It exhibits characteristics of an element. It consists of a small central core, the nucleus, where most of the atomic mass is located and a surrounding “cloud” of electrons moving in orbits around the nucleus.
|
Atom
|
|
a principle characteristic of matter, it is the quantity of matter contained in an object. It is unchanged by changes in gravity.
|
Mass
|
|
denotes the number of protons in the nucleus.
|
Atomic number
|
|
mass of an atom expressed in terms of amu
|
Atomic mass-
|
|
kinetic energy acquired by an electron in passing through a potential difference of 1V.
|
eV
|
|
a unit of force given by the product of mass (kg) and acceleration
|
Newton
|
|
basic unit of energy and is equal to the work done when a force of 1 N acts through a distance of 1 m or E= F x d.
|
Joule
|
|
atoms/gm:
|
use Avogadro’s number/atomic weight
or NA/AW |
|
gms/atom:
|
use atomic weight/ Avogadro’s number or AW/ NA
|
|
electrons/gm:
|
Avogadro’s number x atomic number/ atomic weight
|
|
Avogadro’s number =
|
6.0228x10^23 atoms/g amu
|
|
Decay constant=
|
.693/half-life.
|

|
average energy of an electron
|
|
If a reaction doesnt have at lease ______ initial energy to start the reaction it will be electron caputre
|
1.02 MeV
|
|
In a reaction we will most likely get auger electrons if the Z number is less than
|
30
|
|
Positive enegry (fission) is
|
exogenic
|
|
Negative energy (fusion) is ________ it has a threshold energy
|
endogenic
