100

What is 'ionization energy'?

energy needed to remove 1 electron from an atom.

100

What instrument can we use to measure the mass of each isotope present in an element?

Mass spectrometer

100

What is the name of this hydrate:

CoCl2 * 6H2O

Cobalt (II) chloride hexahydrate

200

Name one difference between a deuterium atom and hydrogen atom.

Different mass, deuterium has 1 neutron, different physical characteristics

200

Why aren't emission spectrum continuous?

Electrons exist in quantum shell (energy level)

200
Ionization energy and atomic radium have what type of relationship?

Inverse relationship

200

What is the volume of one mole of gas at r.t.p?

24dm3

200

What are the products of a combustion reaction?

CO2 + H2O

300

Which way would a beam of protons bend in a Cathode-ray tube experiment?

Cathode (negative plate)

300

How many electrons can a d sub-shell contain?

10

300

What factors influence the ionization energy of an atom?

atomic radius, magnitude of nuclear charge, shielding effect, electron configuration (spin-pair repulsion, stability - filled orbitals 'Mg has higher IE1 than Al because of stable e- conf)

300

Use the % abundance of each isotope to calculate the relative atomic mass of germanium.


72.703

[(70 * 20.6) + (72 * 27.4) + (73 * 7.7) + (74 * 36.7) + (76 * 7.6)] / 100
