Study Notes
Atomic Structure and Isotopes
- Calcium-46 has 20 protons, 20 electrons, and 26 neutrons.
- Arsenic ion (with a -3 charge) has 36 electrons.
- Average atomic mass for cadmium determined to be 112.53 amu based on isotopic analysis.
- Rutherford concluded the atom contains a small, dense, positively charged nucleus.
Electron Configuration
- Electrons are located in an electron cloud surrounding the nucleus, not in fixed orbits.
- Carbon-12 and Carbon-14 are isotopes, sharing the same element but differing in neutron count.
Neutron and Proton Counts
- Nickel-59 (Ni^2+) contains 31 neutrons.
- To identify protons and electrons in an ion, knowledge of atomic number and charge is essential.
- The atomic number represents the number of protons in an atom.
Average Atomic Mass Calculation
- Average atomic mass of rubidium is calculated to be 85.4680 amu using isotopic abundance.
- Neutral carbon-12 has 6 protons, 6 neutrons, and 6 electrons.
Nuclear Particles
- A neutron is a nuclear particle with a mass similar to protons but no charge.
- Ernest Rutherford identified the positively charged nucleus through his gold foil experiment.
Atomic Theory Development
- Dalton is credited with proposing a scientific atomic theory.
- The concept of matter being composed of smaller particles dates back to Democritus.
Isotope Identification and Mass Numbers
- Potassium-41 has a mass number of 41 with 19 protons and 22 neutrons.
- Notation for phosphorus with 15 protons and 16 neutrons can be designated using a specific nuclear symbol.
Misconceptions in Chemistry
- The claim that different calcium samples have varying numbers of protons is inaccurate; all samples of calcium must have the same number of protons.
- The number "101" in the notation 256/101 Md represents the atomic number, not the mass number.
Average Atomic Mass from Isotope Data
- The average atomic mass of magnesium calculated using its isotopes gives a result of 24.305 amu based on their abundances and masses.
