What is the Definition Of Atomic Number
The atomic number represents the number of protons and indirectly shows the number of electrons (atoms are stable)
What is the Relative Atomic Mass
The Relative Atomic Mass represents the number of subatomic particles in the nucleus + electrons
What are the three subatomic particles
Protons, Neutrons and Electrons
Charge and Mass of Proton
Mass=1
The charge is positively charged
Charge and Mass of Neutron
Mass=1
The charge is neutral
Charge and Mass Of Electron
Mass= 1/1836
The Charge is negative
Charge of an Atom and Why?
No overall Charge because of Num Of Protons= Num of Electrons
How to Calculate RAM
Num of Protons + Num of Neutrons
How to calculate Num of Protons
Same as the Atomic Number
How to calculate the Num of Electrons
Same as the Atomic Number
How to Calculate the Num of Neutrons
RAM - ATOMIC NUMBER
Because RAM = protons and neutrons
ATOMIC NUMBER = protons
What is the Group Number?
Represents the Num of electrons in the outer shell
What is the Period Number?
Represents the Num of electron shells surrounding the nucleus
What is Ionic Bonding
Ionic Bonding is the electrostatic force of attraction between positively charged ions and negatively charged ions. (Metals and Non Metals)
What does the Compound of Ionic Bonding lead to?
Formation of Salts
What does it mean by the electrostatic force of attraction?
When 2 oppositley charged ions attract
Why do elements undergo Ionic Bonding?
This is because all elements want to acheive a full outershell.
How does it Ionic Bonding occur?
When a non metal combines with a metal the non metal has a stronger attraction for electrons than the metal so metals are transffered from the outer shell.
Why Are Non Metals Negatively Charged?
Because an Electron has a negative charge and when something gains an electron it will become negatively charged as there are more electrons than protons.
Why are Metals Positively Charged
Because an Electron has a negative charge and when it loses an Electron it will have more protons then electrons making it positively charged.
What is Covalent Bonding
When Electrons are shared between 2 non-metal atoms to acheive a full outershell.
What is Metallic Bonding
The Electrostatic Attraction between the sea of delocalised electrons and the positively charged metal atoms.
Properties Of Ionic Bonding in terms of electrostatic attraction
Very Strong Electrostatic Attraction
Properties of Ionic Bonding in terms of melting and boiling point
Ionic Compunds have a high melting and boiling points because the electrostatic force of attraction between the positive metal ions and the negative non metal ions is so strong that it requires a lot of energy to break therefore having a high melting and boiling point
