James Chadwick
1932
Chadwick discovery
The neutron
Neutron was…
strong radiation, very energetic like alpha particles but NO CHARGE
Neutrons helped us understand…
why the nucleus doesn’t repel itself apart. Neutrons allow the Strong Nuclear Force to hold the protons in the nucleus together.
Simplified atomic model
=>Sphere (nucleus): Element symbol, # of p+, # of n0
=> Electron shells as semi circles, # of e- written underneath each one
Atomic #
of p+
Relative atomic mass
Average of isotopes, mass of one mol of that element (1 mol= # of atoms in 12g of carbon-12)
Mass number
whole number mass of an isotope, shows # of p+ and n0
number of n0 =
mass number - atomic number
AEZ notation
A: mass number (p+ & n0)
E : element symbol
Z: atomic # (p+)
What type of average is the average atomic mass?
Weighted average
Periodicity of properties/ periodic trends: 5
- Reactivity
- Density
- Atomic Radius
- Electronegativity
- First ionization energy
Reactivity
increases left and down metals, right and up for nonmetals (Francium and Fluorine are the most reactive)
Atomic radius
Francium largest: more protons = smaller radius, more shells = larger radius
Electronegativity
Likelihood to accept electrons from another atom
Fluorine most, it wants to gain an e- to reach a full valence shell (octet rule) and it has few shells and few electrons compared to lower down elements so the nucleus holds on the the electrons more.
First ionization energy
Same as electronegativity, since it wants to hold on so bad and even get more e-, it will take a lot of energy to remove electrons.
Specific heat capacity
c
Energy (J) that it takes to raise the temp of one gram of the substance by one degree Celsius
J/g°C
Specific heat capacity of water
4.18 J/g°C
Specific heat capacity of most metals
under 0.5 J/g°C
Heat calculation formula
Q=mcΔT
Q = heat (J)
m = mass (g)
T = temp (°C)
ΔT formula
T final - T initial
Q gained =
= - Q lost
(Don’t forget to distribute the negative!!!!)
E potential = mgh
E = energy in JOULES
m = mass in KILOGRAMS
g = gravitational field intensity in m/s2 or N/kg
h = height in METERS
E kinetic = 1/2 m(v squared)
E = energy in JOULES
m = mass in KILOGRAMS
v = velocity/speed in m/s
