Resource summary
Atoms and reactions
Isotopes
Isotopes of the same element have:
Same no. of protons and neutrons
Different no. of neutrons in nucleus
Different masses
Different isotopes of the same element react in the same way because:
Chemical reactions involve electrons
Neutrons make no difference to chemical reactivity
ATOMIC (PROTON) NUMBER - the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom
ISOTOPES - atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons
MASS (NUCLEON) NUMBER - the number of particles in the nucleus
ION - a +ve or -ve charged atom or (covalently bonded) group of atoms (molecular ion)
Atomic masses
Relative Isotopic Mass
Same as a mass number for an isotope
Relative Atomic Mass
'Weighted mean mass' to account for the contribution of each isotope to overall mass of an element
Contribution made by isotope depends on:
% abundance of isotope
Relative mass of isotope
Relative molecular mass
Mass of a molecule measured as the realtive molecular mass by comparison with carbon-12
Add together relative atomic masses of each atom in the molecule
Relative formula mass
Compounds with giant structures don't exist as simple molecules
Add together relative atomic masses of each atom making up formula unit
RELATIVE ISOTOPIC MASS - the mass of an atom of an isotope compared with one-twelfth of the mass of an atom of carbon-12
RELATIVE ATOMIC MASS - the weighted mean mass of an atom of an element compared with one-twelfth on the mass of an atom of carbon-12
RELATIVE MOLECULAR MASS - the weighted mean mass of a molecule compared with one-twelfth of the mass of an atom of carbon-12
RELATIVE FORMULA MASS - the weighted mean mass of a formula unit compared with one-twelfth of the mass of an atom of carbon-12
Amount of substance and the mole
Amount of substance
Symbol, n
Measured using unit called the 'mole'
Based on standard count of atoms
Avagadro's constant
No. of atoms per mole of the carbon-12 isotope
Mass of 1 mole of atoms of any element = the relative atomic mass in grams
A 'mole' is the amount of any substance containing as many particles as there are carbon atoms in exactly 12g of the carbon-12 isotope
Molar mass - add together all relative atomic masses for each atom that makes up a formula unit
n = m/M
Types of formula
Empirical formula
Always used for compunds with giant structures
Molecular formula
Used for compounds that exist as simple molecules
Tells you no. of each type of atom that makes up a molecule
AMOUNT OF SUBSTANCE - the quantity whose unit is the mole. Chemists use it as a means of counting atoms
AVAGADRO CONSTANT - the no of atoms per mole of the carbon-12 isotope
MOLE - the amount of any substance containing as many particles as there are carbon atoms in exactly 12g of the carbon-12 isotope
MOLAR MASS - the mass per mole of a substance. Units = g mol-1
EMPIRICAL FORMULA - the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms of each element present in a compound
MOLECULE - small group of atoms held together by covalent bonds
MOLECULAR FORMULA - the actual no of atoms of each element in a molecule
