Distillation Crystallization Chromatography The Atomic Structure Atoms contain electrons which travel along electron shells‚ surrounding the nucleus that contains nucleons such as protons and neutrons. Electrons‚ neutrons and protons all make up an atom‚ they are called sub-atomic particles. Protons – has a relative charge of 1+ and a relative atomic mass of 1 Neutrons – are neutral‚ therefore the charge

His theory said that atoms aren’t indivisible and all atoms of an element are not exactly the same. 38. Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. A door and a table. 40. It was evenly distributed. 42. a. Electron cloud b. Protons c. Neutrons 44. The number of protons equals the number

metals form +2 ions‚ metals in group 3 form +3 ions . Examples : Li+‚ Mg2+‚ Al3+. Greater ease of ionisation Li->Cs is due to the increased electron shielding of the nuclear attraction caused by additional inner shells of electrons. The easier atoms are to ionise‚ the more reactive they will be because less energy is required to ionise them‚ and so they react faster. 4.1.3 Group 5 will form 3- ions‚ Group 6 ions will form 2- ions‚ Group 7 ions will form negative ions. Examples : O2-‚ Cl-

structure. Bohr became well known in the scientific community when he received a Nobel Prize in the field of Physics in 1922 for his work in investigating the structure of atoms and their radiation. He worked on and improved the Rutherford model to create his own Bohr model of atom structure. The Bohr model shows the nucleus of an atom being quite small and positively charged. The electrons surround the nucleus‚ just like a model of the solar system‚ but instead of gravity being the force holding things

much as we do now about the atom. He came to a conclusion of so many unanswered questions people were left after the discovery of the electron. He also participated in the United State’s biggest project that helped us win World War II. If it wasn’t for Niels Bohr we probably would not have as many things as we do today. He is one‚ if not‚ the biggest person in the history of Chemistry. Niels Bohr was born around the time people started to research more about the atom. In his early years J.J. Thomson

elements react violently to form a new compound called sodium chloride joined by ionic bonds. To understand how this process works‚ we must grasp an understanding of what an ion is and what an ionic bond is. An ion is an atom that has an electric charge and is created when an atom (or a group) gain or loses electrons. (It has an electric charge due to the imbalance and since they need to neutralise each other.) An ionic bond is a bond that transfers from one and another‚ resulting in an attraction

September 2011 ISOTOPES Atoms of a given element which have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes. Thus‚ isotopes have the same position in the periodic table‚ the same chemical properties and the same atomic charge. The simplest example of an atom with different isotopes is hydrogen. The three isotopes of hydrogen are shown here: The increasing number of neutrons in the nucleus of the hydrogen atom adds mass to the atom and thus each isotope of a

2.1 The Nature of Matter 1. Within the typical atom‚ there are three subatomic particles: protons‚ neutrons‚ and electrons (as seen in the Helium atom below). Other particles exist as well‚ such as alpha and beta particles (which will be discussed later on). Most of an atom’s mass is in the nucleus‚ a small dense area at the center of every atom formed by nucleons. Nucleons are protons and neutrons. All of the positivity of an atom is contained in the nucleus‚ because the protons have a positive

between atoms or ions. The different sorts of bonds that a molecule contains will determine its physical properties‚ including melting point‚ hardness‚ electrical and thermal conductivity‚ and solubility. How do chemical bonds occur? Chemical bonding occurs when two atoms with unfull valence orbitals react and exchange or share electrons; the result is either a covalent bond (shared electrons so that each has a full shell) or an ionic bond (the electron is completely removed from one atom and given
