Q

What formula is used to calculate the number of neutrons

A

Number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number

19
Q

What unit is used to express atomic mass

A

Unified atomic mass units

20
Q

A unit of mass that describes the mass of an atom or molecule

A

Unified atomic mass unit

21
Q

What is the mole used for

A

Counting small particles

22
Q

The SI base unit used to measure the amount of a substance whose number of particles is the same as the number of atoms of carbon in exactly 12g of carbon-12

23
Q

What is the abbreviation for mole

24
What is one mole equal to
602,213,670,000,000,000,000,000 partic | 6.022 x 1023
25
What is the number for mole called
Avogadro's number
26
The mass in grams of one mole of a substance
Molar mass
27
How do you find the amount of moles in an element
mass x 1 mol of element / molar mass of element
28
How do you find the mass of moles in an element
amount x molar mass of element / 1 mol of element
29
How do you find the molar mass go a compound
Add up the molar masses of all the atoms in a molecule of the compound
30
What is the modern model of the atom
Electrons can be found only in certain energy levels, not between levels
31
Who's model states that electrons can be in only certain energy levels
Bohr's
32
How do electrons move to a higher energy level
They gain energy
33
How do electrons move to a lower energy level
They lose energy
34
What do electrons act like
Waves
35
A region in an atom where there is a high probability of finding electrons
Orbital
36
How are the energy levels of an atom filled
The number of energy levels that are filled in an atom depends on the number of electrons
37
An electron yay is found in the outermost shell of an atom and that determines the atom's chemical properties
Valence electrons
38
What are the 4 types of orbitals
s p d f
39
How many electrons can each orbital hold
2
40
What determines the number of electrons that each level can hold
Orbitals
41
What makes an electron jump to a new energy level
When an atom gains or loses energy
42
The lowest state of energy of an electron
Ground state
43
An electron gains energy by absorbing a photon so it moves to an
Excited state
44
A unit or quantum of light
Photon
45
When does an electron release a photon
When it falls back to a lower level
46
What is a type of "atomic fingerprint" that can be used to identify the substance
The wavelengths emitted by the element
