Chemistry OCR A A-level - Module 2 Summary

Document preview thumbnail
Preview 2 out of 12 pages

I have used save my exams, videos and the OCR A textbook to create a full set of notes for module 2, which also feature pictures and questions that I have answered. I have cross-checked the information numerous times with multiple websites and truely believe that these are an excellent revision resource.

Chapter 2 - Atoms, Ions and Compounds
Relative Atomic Mass
an electron has a mass of 1 7840
Atomic number proton number in the nucleus
Ions a positively or negatively charged atom or a covalently bonded group of atoms
polyatomic ion where the number of electrons and protons are different
Cation a positively charged ion with fewer electrons than protons
Anion a negatively charged ion with more electrons than protons
Isotope atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons and masses

Heavy water
heavy water controls in nuclear reactors
processes

all water molecules in heavy water contain the t isotope which is called deuterium and causes the
formula of heavy water to be Dao

the higher density of Dao gives heavy water its name
meltingpointto 0.00 and suggests that if all water was heavy water you
boilingpointtoo egg 10140 would see ice more often as the Dao heavy water
density gems yo 1.11 would freeze at a higher temperature



Carbon 12 is used in comparison with all other isotopes
we compare every atom to that of hacarbon 12 nu as the nuclear force holding together the protons

mass of an
atom of carbon 12
Relative atomicmass is the weighted atomic mean mass of an atom of an element relative to
1112th
of the mass of an atom of carbon 12
this weighted mean mass takesaccount of
the percentage abundance of each isotope
the relative isotopic mass of eachisotope

A mass spectrometer finds the percentage abundance of isotopes in a sample of element
1 The sample is vaporised and ionised by being bombarded with electrons
2 An electron is removed to form a positive ion which is accelerated in an electric field
3 The flight of the ion in the drift region depends on its mass ke 112mva
Light ion fast
4 The ions are detected on a mass spectrum as a mass to charge ratio mla

mass to charge ratio my relative mass of ion
relative charge on ion

Relative molecular mass is applied to chemicals that have a fixed number of atoms involved
Relative formula mass is applied to chemicals that use an empirical formula to represent them

use the name of the first element but change the ending of the second element's name to ride

most elements that exist as small molecules exist as diatomic molecules

the only other small molecules are so can be written as s and Pa

Ionic equations
In aqueous solutions ionic compounds dissociate into their ions
Only some of the ions in an ionic compound take part in the chemical reactions in aq solution
The ions thatdo nottake part are called spectator ions
An ionic equation only shows the ions particles taking part in a reaction
Molar mass
