Define the term isotope
Atoms of the same element with a different number of neutrons and different masses
Why are the reactions of isotopes the same?
Chemical reactions only involve electrons. Isotopes have the same number of electrons. Therefore, they have the same chemical reaction
What is the relative mass and relative charge of a proton, neutron and electron
Proton Relative mass = 1 Relative charge = 1 Neutron Relative mass = 1 Relative charge = 0 Neutron Relative mass = 1/2000 Relative charge = -1
What never changes? The number of neutrons, the number of protons or the number of electrons?
Number of protons
In the diagram of an atom, where are the electrons?
In orbitals
In the diagram of an atom, where is the nucleus and what is inside it?
Location - Within the first outer orbital Inside - Protons and Neutrons
Define relative isotopic mass
Mass of an isotope compared with 1/12th mass of an atom of carbon-12
Define relative atomic mass
Weight mean mass of an atom compared with 1/12th mass of an atom of carbon-12
How do you find the Mr of an element?
1) Multiply each relative isotopic mass by its relative isotope abundance and then add the result 2) Divide this result by the sum of the isotope abundances
When do we use the term relative molecular mass?
When referring to simple molecules
When do we use the term relative formula mass?
When we are referring to ionic or giant covalent molecules
List the ions formed by Group 1 - 7 elements (excluding group 4)
Group 1 = 1+ Group 2 = 2+ Group 3 = 3+ Group 5 = 3- Group 6 = 2- Group 7 = 1-
What should we do when trying to work out the formula for ionic compounds?
Balance out the charges
What are the names of the following ions? NO3 ^ - CO3 ^ 2- SO4 ^ 2- OH ^ - NH4 ^ + Zn ^ 2+ Ag ^ +
Nitrate ion Carbonate ion Sulfate ion Hydroxide ion Ammonium ion Zinc ion Silver ion
Define amount of substance

Mr = m/n
What is the formula for Number of particles?
n x Avogadro’s constant
Given Avogadro’s constant and the number of particles, what is the formula for moles?
Np/ Avogadro’s constant
Define empirical formula
The simplest whole number ratio of atoms of each element present in a compound
How do work out the empirical formula of a compound starting from its percentage composition?
1) Divide each percentage by its atomic mass 2) Divide each answer by whichever answer is the smallest 3) Find the Lowest whole number ratio
How do you work out the empirical formula of a compound starting from its mass composition?
1) Divide each amount of grams by its atomic mass 2) Divide each answer by whichever answer is the smallest 3) Find the Lowest whole number ratio
What does anhydrous mean?
Without water
