  • What do you call a positive ion?
    cation
  • Calculate the average atomic mass of Q. Use the mass to set the correct sig figs. Do not forget your unit.
    162.5 amu
  • What is the charge of a Chlorine ion that contains 17 protons and 18 electrons?
    -1
  • How many energy levels does phosphorus have?
    Phosphorous (P) is in period 3, so it has 3 energy levels
  • Which family of elements is most electrically conductive?
    Metals
  • What is the isotope name for a nucleus with 81 protons and 133 neutrons?
    Thallium-214
  • Which is a chemical change: chopping wood, leaves changing color, increasing temp of solution, distilling gasoline
    Leaves changing color. The chlorophyll molecules break down into component elements.
  • What is the difference between an element and a compound?
    Elements are composed of one type of atom, compounds two or more types of atom
  • Explain why a state of matter change is a physical change
    Physical changes result in a decrease, increase, or spread of molecules. For example, when ice melts into water, the H2O molecules do not change.
  • How many valence electrons does oxygen have?
    Oxygen (O) is in group 16, so it has 6 valence electrons
  • What is another name for a homogenous mixture?
    A solution
  • True or false: Elements can be atoms OR molecules?
    True. Some elements bond with themselves in nature (like O2), some elements exist as single atoms (like Ne)
  • During the Gold Foil experiment, Rutherford noticed that most of the alpha particles passed directly through the foil, indicating that most of the atom was _________.
    Empty space
  • How many electrons can be placed in the second level of a Bohr model?
    8
  • What is the atomic number for Zn?
    30
  • What is the isotope notation for rhodium-102?
    Rh 102 Top Left 45 Bottom Left
  • Which two subatomic particles have an approximately equal mass?
    Protons and neutrons weigh about 1 amu
  • Which element is brittle at room temp: Potassium, Calcium, Sulfur, Gold, Aluminum
    Sulfur, because it is a nonmetal. We saw this in the metals, nonmetals, metalloids lab.
  • Why does argon not react with other elements?
    Ar is a noble gas. Noble gasses have a full valence shell, so they are energetically stable
  • How many protons does sulfur have?
    Sulfur's atomic number is 16, so it has 16 protons
  • The periodic table is organized by...
    Increasing atomic number
  • List 3 signs of a chemical change
    Heat, light, color change (usually), bubbles, new substance
  • How many electrons does a neutral atom of calcium have?
    Calcium's atomic number is 20, so it has 20 protons. A neutral atom has the same number of protons and electrons, so 20.
  • What subatomic particles are in the isotope Fr-231?
    p - 87, e- 87, n-144
  • What is the difference between the terms mass number and average atomic mass?
    Mass number is equal to the number of p + n for a specific isotope. Average atomic mass is the weighted avg. of all naturally occurring isotopes for an element
  • Calculate the average atomic mass of R. Use the mass to set the correct sig figs. Do not forget your unit.
    214.5 amu
  • What do you call a negative ion?
    anion
  • What is matter?
    Anything that has mass and volume
  • What is the unit for average atomic mass?
    a.m.u.
  • Metal alloys are... elements, compounds, homogenous mixtures, or heterogenous mixtures?
    Homogeneous mixtures. The metals are not bonded together
  • Draw a particle diagram of a liquid solution
    Solutions are homogeneous mixtures. Should have two compounds/elements. Molecules flow but at bottom of container.
  • In a physical change, what happens to the organization of the atoms?
    Structure of the element or compound stays the same.
  • In a chemical change, what happens to the organization of the atoms?
    Chemical bonds between atoms are broken and new bonds form. Atoms rearrange.
  • Which is a chemical change: boiling water, mix dye + water, rust, paint chipping
    Rust is a chemical change. The color changes and you need a chemical process to reverse it.
