Q

how does a mass spectrometer work

A

The sample to be analysed is first vaporised to form a gas. Next, it is bombarded by high-energy electrons, producing positive ions, which are then accelerated in an electric field. Note that a mass spectrometer produces ions with a one positive (1+) charge. The positive ions are deflected in a magnetic field depending on their mass to charge ratio (m/z or m/e). Ions with a higher mass to charge ratio are deflected less in the magnetic field than ions with a lower mass to charge ratio. Finally, the positive ions reach the detector, where they produce a mass spectrum.

Q

how to calculate relative atomic mass from isotope

A

he mass number of each isotope (the isotopic mass) is multiplied by its percentage abundance. The sum of the isotopic masses multiplied by their percentage abundances are added together and then divided by 100 to give the relative atomic mass of a single atom.

Q

how are energy levels organised

A

The principal energy levels are assigned numbers (n, the principal quantum number), with n = 1 being closest to the nucleus and of lowest energy. The further the energy level is from the nucleus, the higher its number (n) and the higher its energy

29
Q

what are degenerate orbitals

A

ones of equal energy

30
Q

there is an overlap between the 3d and 4s sub levels

A

it can be considered as left the atom

62
Q

what is the ground state

A

The ionisation of a hydrogen atom in its ground state corresponds to the electron transition from n = 1 to n = ∞. At this point, the electron is no longer attracted to the nucleus and the atom has been ionised.

63
Q

what is the first ionisation energy of an element

A

the energy required to remove one mole of electrons from one mole of gaseous atoms to produce one mole of gaseous 1+ ions.

64
Q

why are ionisation energies always positive (endothermic)

A

energy must be added to overcome the electrostatic attraction between the nucleus and valence electrosn

65
Q

what is second ionisation energy

A

If an additional mole of electrons is removed from one mole of gaseous 1+ ions

66
Q

why should we expect the ionisation energies to increase progressively as we remove negatively charged electrons from increasingly positive ions

A

it results in a stronger electrostatic attraction between the nucleus and the remaining electrons.
