Q

What are the forces which are present within an atom

A
  1. Same number of protons and electrons- meanning the charges cancel out so there is no overall charge on atom
  2. There is always a positive charge in the nucleus because of the positive protons

Q

How would a Li atom differ from a Li + ion

A

What is the difference between a Chlorine atom, Chloride ion and Chloride isotope

27
What is the relative isotopic mass
The mass of an atom of an isotope compared with 1/12th the mass of an atom of Carbon 12
28
What is the relative atomic mass
The weighted mean mass of an atom of an element compared to 1/12th the mass of an atom of Carbon 12
29
What does the relative atomic mass have to be stated to
always to 1dp unless otherwise stated
30
What always has to be stated to 1 dp unless otherwise stated
Relative atomic mass
31
What is the Relative molecular mass
the average mass of a molecule compared to 1/12th the mass of an atom of Carbon 12
32
How do you find out the relative atomic mass of an element
R.A.M = (isotopic mass of a x % abundance of a )+ (isotopic mass of b x % abundance of b) / 100
33
Write out the 2 formulas to find out the relative atomic mass of an element
Chemistry book
34
Why don't different isotopes of an element react in the same way
Because they have the same number of protons and electrons. Neutrons have no effect on reactions of an element.
35
How can an isotope differ from an element in terms of its properties
Physical properties- with higher mass, isotopes of an element have a higher melting point, boiling point and density, but chemical reactions are the same
36
What are the units of relative molecular mass and relative formula mass
They have no units
37
What is mass spectrometry used for
-spectra can be used to provide structural information -can be used to identify unknown compounds -can help to determine the relative abundance of each isotope of an element -can help compare masses of elements relative to one another and work out the relative molecular mass of compounds
38
What is the equation for mass spectrometry
%abundance=peak height/total height of all peaks multiplied by 100
39
Equation to find percentage abundance in mass spectrometry
Chemistry book
40
What is a mass spectra produced from and what does it show
Mass spectra is produced from mass spectrometer and shows a trace of mass number vs abundance (peak height)
41
What is the importance of C12 isotope
We compare masses of atoms on a C12 scale where one atom of the isotope carbon 12 weighs exactly 12
42
On a mass spectrometer what is the peak height also known as
Abundance of that specific isotope
43
What does the number of peaks tell us in mass spectrometry
Number of isotopes an element has
44
What does the mass of each peak tell us in mass spectrometry
The number of different isotopes
45
What does the height of each peak tell us in mass spectrometry
The isotopic abundance of each isotope
46
How do you calculate the relative molecular / formula mass?
Add the relative atomic masses of all the atoms in the molecule
47
How does a mass spectrometer work?
1)A sample is placed into mass spectrometer 2)sample is then vaporized and ionized= atoms/ molecules are bombarded with a stream of electrons, collision will result in electron being knocked off particle resulting in a + ion (most ions will have +1 charge) 3) These ions are then accelerated= positively charged ions repel from the ionization chamber and pass through negatively charged slits which focus + accelerate ions onto a beam 4) the stream of positively charged ions are then deflected by magnetic field= amount of ions deflected depends on m/z (mass to charge) ratio- (heavier ions move slowly therefore are difficult to deflect than lighter ions) (ions with a greater charge- more than 1+ will be deflected more), ions of each isotope are separated 5) ion is detected on the mass spectra=ion hits detector and charge is neutralized, this generates electrical current which is proportional to the abundance of the ion 6) these are sent to computer for analyses 7) for most ions the charge is 1 thus m/z ratio is simply the molecular mass of the ion
48
Draw out the process in which different isotopes are recognized and separated
Mass spectrometry diagram in chemistry notes alongside the method of how it works and what happens during each stage
49
What does m/z mean in mass spectrometry and explain why we can use this and abundance to calculate Relative Atomic mass
m/z means mass : charge ratio of an ion -in mass spectrometry a molecular ion is formed and always has charge of 1+ X-----> X+ PLUS E- Molecular ion= x+ PLUS e- -mass/1 = the same mass -so R.A.M. is the same as its isotope of the element - so m/z is the same as the relative mass of the isotope- isotopic mass You can calculate Relative atomic mass by using the equation and finding the mean average of all isotopes of the element: (% abundance A of isotope * isotopic mass A )+ (% abundance of isotope B * isotopic mass of B) /100 Because relative atomic mass is the same as the isotopic mass you can use this equation. Its just a fact you have to learn.
50
What is relative formula mass
RFM= The mass of the formula relative to 1/12th the mass of an atom of C-12
51
What is the difference between relative formula mass and relative molecular mass
RFM= mostly used for Giant ionic compounds e.g. salts Mr= mostly used for simple covalent molecules
52
How do you calculate the relative molecular /formula mass
The relative molecular mass of a molecule is calculated by adding the relative atomic masses of all the atoms in the molecule e.g. Molecular mass of C6H1206 First we find the atomic masses of each atom in the compound C-12 H-1 O-16 Now we multiple by how many there are of each atom 12*6= 72 1*12=12 16*6=96 Add them up 72+12+96= 180 Relative molecular mass of glucose= 180
53
What does the m/z tell us on a graph from mass spectrometry
The number of different isotopes and their isotopic masses
54
Why did the Plum Pudding model become 'not good enough'
Because it contradicted the gold foil experiment by Rutherford in 1909. This was when alpha particles were fired at a thin sheet of gold, according to the PPM the alpha particles should have passed straight through 'pudding' of positive charge. However Rutherford observed the particles instead deflected at large angles and even bounced back. This suggested that the positive charge, and most of the mass of the atom was concentrated in a small central nucleus, contradicting the plum pudding model.
