Stage 3 Flashcards
(94 cards)
Neutron
Neutral subatomic particle int he nucleus of an atom.
Proton
Positively charged subatomic particle inside the nucleus of an atom.
Electron
Negatively charged subatomic particle that is floating around the nucleus in the electron cloud. It is the smallest type of subatomic particles and they are part of chemical reactions.
Atomic number
Number of protons (or electrons Ina neutral atom) in an atom.
Atomic mass
The average of the weights of all the natural occurring isotopes of an element.
Mass number
Sum of the protons and neutrons in an atom’s nucleus.
Electron configuration
Shows the arrangements of e- in an atom
Atomic theories
Democritus, dalton, Thomson, Rutherford, Bohr, Schrödinger.
Atoms
Basic unit of all matter that contains the properties of an element.
Radioactivity
Release of energy by the atoms. Propriety.
Types of radiation
Alpha, beta and gamma
Example of radioactive elements
Plutonium (239), cobalt (60) and strontium (90)

Rows
Ionization energy periodic trend
It increases as you go up in a family and right in a period.
Electronegativity periodic trend
It increases as you go up in a family and right in a period.
Element with the highest electronegativity
Fluorine
Elements that have a high ionization energy but no electronegativity
Noble gases
Periodic trend in atom in radius
It increases as you go down in a family and left in a period.
Greek philosophers thought that matter …
Was made from four elects (air, water, fire and earth) and could be endlessly divided.
