You go right on the periodic table

A

gets smaller, gain more electrons and protons so its a greater attraction force

Q

Average atomic mass

A

(the relative abundance * mass) + (relative abundance * mass) + (relative abundance * mass)

ex- #85 has NA of 72.17% and mass of 84.912
#87 has NA of 27.83% and mass of 86.909 what is the third mystery element

hint make sure to move to decimal in the percentage (left)

Accuracy
A measure of how closely individual measurements agree with the correct value.

1- 5 sig figs 2- 1 sig fig 3- 2 sig figs 4-8 sig figs 5- 5 sig figs Only trailing zeros are important (if decimal)
27
Empirical Formula ex- 41.368% C, 8.101% H, 32.162%N, and 18.369% O
the simplest ratio of elements in a compound. you need to divide each elements percentage by their atomic mass and then which ever is the smallest one, you take that and divide each answer by that. Then make the new formula C3H7N2O
28
Percent Composition
formula= (mass of that element) / (mass of compound) *100 then you can find empirical formula
29
What is a mixture
combination of two or more pure substances (elements or compounds)
30
what is stoichiometry
converting moles and masses
31
mass percentage
(mass of substance / total mass of mixture) * 100
32
what is elemental analysis
element mass/compund mass
33
what are the two types of elemental analysis
1. qualitative (identifying the different elements present) 2. quantitative (identifying the amounts of elements present
34
what is CHNX analysis
mathod to determine the mass fractions of C, H, N or sulfur in a compound
35
combustion analysis
a technique where a sample is burned to convert its C, H, N, and sulfur into their respective oxides
36
optical spectroscopy
technique that measures the absorption or transmission of light through a solution to determine its concentration
37
mass spectroscopy
tequnique used to determine the charge to mass ratio of ions by ionizing a sample then passing them through a magnetic field which separates them based on mass and charg, then this detector measures number of ions and mass to ion ratio
38
photoelectron spectroscopy
technique used to measure the energy requried to remove electrons from atoms to determine their electron configuration
39
isotopes
variation of the same element with different numbers of neutrons (same protons and electrons)
40
How do you convert moles to number of particles and vise versa
Avogadros number 6.022*10^23
41
Avogadros number
6.022*10^23
42
How do you convert mass to moles and vise versa
atoms mass
43
one atom what is it made from?
ANY (nonmetal, metal, gas, liquid anything)
44
One atom examples
Mg, O, Zn, Ne
45
More than one element (ionic)
metal+nonmetal (s)
46
NaCl, Fe(NO3)2
IONIC
47
How do you describe ionic compounds
Formula unit
48
More than one element (molecular)
nonmetal+nonmetal (s)
49
H2O, C6H12O6,O2
MOLECULAR
50
how do you describe molecular compounds
molecule
51
atom or group of atoms with a charge is made from
any (nonmetal+metal, nonmetal+nonmetal, metal, nonmetal)
52
How do you describe atom or group of atoms with a charge
Ion
53
Energy level 1
s 2 electrons
54
Energy level 2
sp 8 electrons
55
Energy level 3
spd 18 electrons
56
Energy level 4
spdf 31 electrons
57
Coulombs law
higher charges and smaller distance= more attraction
58
Aufbau principle
means to "build up" electrons are added to the lowest subshells first and build up
59
Hund's rule
each subshell should have one electron before any are doubled up (dont share space unless they have to)
60
Pauli Exclusion Principle
no two electrons can have the same set of 4 quantum numbers
61
what does a photoelectron spectroscopy do
shows the electron configuration
62
octet exceptions
Be, B, N, O
63
ionic compounds are held together by??
an electrostatic force
64
will 2 metals bond?
nope
