Neutrons, Protons and electrons are all sub-atomic particles. In relative mass, we always think of protons and neutrons in having a mass of 1 and electrons a mass of 1/1840, which shows that electrons are considerably smaller than protons and neutrons, and only make up a small part of the atom. The amount of protons and neutrons added together is the relative atomic mass, and this is the main structure of the atom. 2. The arrangement of particles in an atom Protons and neutrons make up the main, dense, central nucleus in the centre of the atom.
Describe the differences between protons and electrons The difference between protons and electrons is that protons are positively charged and that elections are negatively charged. Another difference is that protons are in the nucleus and electrons circle the nucleus in shells outside the nucleus. What is the difference between the mass number and the relative atomic mass of an element? The difference between the mass number and the atomic mass is that the mass number is the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus and the relative atomic mass is the mass of an atom. Distinguish between an element and a compound with 2 examples for each An element is a substance that cannot be broken down into any simpler substances.
Atoms and Ions Atoms have no net charge. They are neutral. Ions have a charge, either positive or negative. A positive ion has more protons than electrons. CATION A negative ion has more electrons than protons.
(no, 4.29 nm is too short) _______________15. How many Joules of energy are there in one photon of yellow light whose wavelength is 630 nm? (3.16 X 10-19 J) _______________16. Find the color of light whose photon has 4.75 X 10-19 J of energy. (violet) ________________17.
Your friend says that what makes one element distinct from another is the number of electrons about the atomic nucleus. Do you agree wholeheartedly, partially, or not at all? Explained • NO • What makes one element distinct from another is the number of protons in the nucleus. Hydrogen has 1, gold has 79, uranium has 92, etc. Not electrons.
Explain your reasoning. * An atom of Y would be smaller than X because the ionization levels are larger than X. The electrons of Y are bound to the nucleus stronger than the X electrons. 8.30. Periodic Properties II Consider two hypothetical elements, W and Z.
The energy of the three photons has three times the energy of the one photon, the energy of n photons of light is E=nh, E=nhc/ (2)(704nm)1.04 (3)(451nm). The energy of two photons corresponding to a wavelength of 451 blue light , is 1.04 times the energy of three photons corresponding to wavelength 704nm red light. f. A hydrogen atom with an electron in its ground state interacts with a photon of light with a wavelength of 1.22 × 10−6m. Could the electron make a transition from the ground state to a higher energy level? If it does make a transition, indicate which one.
The electrons of an atom are bound to the nucleus by the electromagnetic force. A group of atoms can remain bound to each other by chemical bonds based on the same force, forming a molecule. An atom containing an equal number of protons and electrons is neutral; otherwise it is positively or negatively charged and is known as an ion. An atom is classified according to the number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus the number of protons controls the element, and the number of neutrons determines the isotope of the element. A molecule is an electrically neutral group of two or more atoms held together by chemical bonds Molecules are recognized from ions by their lack of
Because its density is so high, neutrons spin in the same way that electrons do so must obey the Pauli Exclusion Principle. 6. A pulsar does not pulse, it emits beams of radiation that sweep around the sky as the neutron star rotates, and astronomers detect pulses when they sweep over the Earth. 11. Sometimes in binary systems, mass flows into a hot accretion disk around the neutron star and causes the emission of x rays.
David Kemp OCR Chemistry A Unit 1: F321 Atomic Structure (a) describe protons, neutrons and electrons in terms of relative charge and relative mass; Proton +1 1 Neutron 0 1 Electron -1 1/2000 Relative Charge Relative Mass (b) describe the distribution of mass and charge Within an atom; Positively charged Nucleus containing most of the mass, surrounded by atomic shells with orbiting electrons of negative charge and negligible mass. (c) describe the contribution of protons and neutrons to the nucleus of an atom, in terms of atomic (proton) number and mass (nucleon) number. The atomic number of the nucleus, also the proton number, shows the number of protons in the nucleus. It also defines the element. The number of neutrons added to the number of protons is the nucleon number or mass number.
