Chemistry Chapter 3 Flashcards
(42 cards)
number of protons in the atom
identifies the element
atomic number
1=1.660 x^-27 kg
mass of proton and neutron =1
mass of electron= 0.0005
atomic mass unit AMU
number of protons and neutrons
mass number
atoms of the same element with a different atomic mass because of a different number of neutrons
isotopes
isotopic notation of a nuclide
4 superscript- mass # protons + neutrons
2 subscript - protons
next to He
mass number on periodic table is the ________________________- of the naturally occurring isotopes of an element
average atomic mass
how do you calculate the average atomic mass
multiply the atomic mass of each isotope by the % in decimal form-> add the results together
an atom is defined as the smallest part of an element that….
retains the chemical identity of that element
the fact that carbon dioxide always contains 73 percent oxygen by mass is an illustration of
the law of constant composition/definite proportion
a cathode ray consists of
electrons
the electron was discovered by
thomson
the scientist who measure the charge of the electron was
millikan
the experiment that revealed the charge of the electron involved the use of
oil droplets
rutherford called the core of the atom the
nucleus
what makes up an atom (3)
electron
proton
neutron
what is found on the outside of the nucleus of the atom
electron
what is the approximate atomic mass of an neutron, in amu
1
what is the approximate atomic mass of an electron in amu
essentially 0
the atomic number of an atom is defined as its
number of protons
the mass number of an atom is defined as its
total number of neutrons and protons
an element’s identity is based on its
atomic number
two atoms are isotopes if they contain
the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons
the symbol indicates a fluorine atom that contains
19 F
9
9 protons and 10 neutrons
what did Democritus contribute to the understanding of matter
came up with the idea of the atom
