Study Notes
Atomic Structure
- Atomic Number: Indicates the number of protons in an atom's nucleus, determining the element's identity.
- Bohr Model: Represents an atom with a dense nucleus surrounded by orbiting electrons, helping explain periodic properties.
- Electron: A negatively charged particle with a relative mass of 1/1836, orbiting at various energy levels.
- Neutron: A neutral particle in the nucleus, with a relative mass of 1.
- Proton: A positively charged nucleus particle also with a relative mass of 1.
Isotopes and Mass
- Isotopes: Variants of the same element with identical protons/electrons but differing neutron counts; result in varying masses.
- Mass Number: Total count of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.
- Relative Atomic Mass: Average mass of an atom, weighted against 1/12th of carbon-12's mass.
- Relative Isotopic Mass: Mass of an individual isotope compared to 1/12th of a carbon-12 atom.
- Relative Formula Mass: Mass of a giant structure's formula unit; for instance, NaCl has a mass of 58.44 g mol-1.
- Relative Molecular Mass (Mr): Mass of a simple molecule.
Mass Spectrometry
- Mass Spectrometry: A technique providing accurate data on relative isotopic mass and isotopic abundance.
Ions and Their Symbols
- Ion: An atom or molecule with a net charge due to loss or gain of electrons.
- Ammonium ion (NH4+): Positively charged polyatomic ion.
- Carbonate (CO32-): Negatively charged ion comprised of carbon and oxygen.
- Hydroxide (OH-): Negatively charged ion featuring oxygen and hydrogen.
- Ionic Compound: Formed from oppositely charged ions held by electrostatic forces.
- Nitrate (NO3-): A negatively charged ion containing nitrogen and oxygen.
- Silver ion (Ag+): A positively charged ion of silver.
- Sulfate (SO42-): Negatively charged ion consisting of sulfur and oxygen.
- Zinc ion (Zn2+): A positively charged zinc ion.
- State Symbols: Notations in chemical equations indicating the physical state of compounds: (g) for gas, (l) for liquid, (s) for solid, (aq) for aqueous solution.
