Define ionisation energy
The amount of energy needed to remove 1 mole of electrons from 1 mole of atoms in the gaseous state.
1st IE for potassium 2nd IE for potassium 3rd IE for potassium
1st = K - K+ + e- 2nd = K+ - K2+ + e- 3rd = K2+ - K3+ +e-
Factors affecting IE
nuclear charge distance from nucleus shielding
Electronic Configuration of Ca2+ ion
expected = 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 correct = 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6
Why are chromium and copper exceptions of electronic configurations?
d block elements are more stable when they have a full or half full subshell
Why are D block ions exceptions of electronic configurations?
electrons are removed from the 4s subshell 4s = first in first out
Electronic configuration of Fe2+ ion
Expected= 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d6 correct= 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d6
Down a group
IE decreases atomic radius increases shielding increases
Across a group
Atomic radius decreases shielding stays same
How does a mass spectrometer work?
• acceleration - positive ions attracted to negative plate and accelerate towards it • Ion drift - ions will pass through a hole in negative plate heavier particles cant keep up with lighter ones • detection - each ion hits detector it gains an electron current is proportional to relative abundance.
2 reasons why it is necessary to ionise isotopes before they can be analysed in mass spectrometer
• allows ions to be accelerated towards negative plate • allows ions to be detected
Electron Impact ionisation
• High energy electrons • fired at sample with electron gun • which knocks off 1 electron X(g) - X+(g) +e-
Electrospray Ionisation
• Sample dissolved in volatile solvent • injected through hyperdermic needle connected to high voltage power supply • particles gain a proton X(g) + H+ - XH+(g)
How to calculate Ar
(mass x abundance)+(mass x abundance)+(mass x abundance) / total abundances
Define Ar
mean mass of an atom / 1/12 mass of an atom of C12
KE equation
1/2 mv^2
Velocity equation
V= Square root of 2KE/M
