Summary need help

● what is the atomic structure→The nucleus has positive protons and neutral neutrons
and is surrounded by a energy shells with negative electrons.
●
● what is the relative atomic mass for protons and neutrons→1
●
● what is the relative atomic mass for electrons→almost 0.
●
● what is the maximum number of electrons the electron shell one can hold→2
●
● what is the maximum number of electrons the electron shell two can hold→8
●
● what is the maximum number of electrons the electron shell 3 can hold→18
●
● what is the maximum number of electrons the electron shell 4 can hold→32
●
● what is the maximum number of electrons the electron shell 5 can hold→50
●
● what does Aufbau principle state→Electrons fill orbitals starting at the lowest energy
level and move up.
●
● what does orbitals mean→Regions in an atom where electrons are likely to be found.
●
● what is the maximum number of electrons an orbital can hold.→2
●
● proximity→The state of being near or close to something.
●
● Explain electron configuration→This is the distribution of electrons in a molecule or
an atom.
●
● why do electrons repel with each other→This is because they have the same charge.
●
● what will happen when there is more than one orbital in a sub- shell→They will fill up
singly until all the orbitals in that sub-shell have an electron in them and they will pair
up.
●
● what is ionic bonding→This is the electrostatic attraction between two oppositely
charged ions.
●
● where are noble gases found in the periodic table→Group 0.
●
● Explain why noble gases do not react at all or do not react easily→This is because
they have a full outer shell. And they have a stable electron configuration.
●
● why do other elements in the periodic table react→This is because they do not have
a full outer shell, therefore, they react to gain a stable electron configuration.
●

, ● when does ionic bonding occur→Ionic bonding occurs when an atom of an element
loses one or more electron and donates it to an atom of a different element.
●
● what happens when atoms lose electrons→They become positively charged.
●
● what happens when atoms gain electrons→They become negatively charged.
●
● Explain what an electrostatic attraction is→This Is the force that experienced by
oppositely charged particles. It holds particles strongly together.
●
● what is a Giant ionic lattice→a regular arrangement of of positive and negative ions.
●
● what is the strength of electrostatic force of ionic bond dependent on→It is
dependent on the ionic charge and the ionic radii of the ions.
●
● what happens when an electron has more positive ions→The more shells it will have.
●
● what will happen when an ion has more shells→The radius will be bigger than an ion
with fewer electrons.
●
● what happens when ionic charge is high→The electrostatic attraction is stronger.
●
● what happens when the ionic radii is bigger→The electrostatic attraction becomes
weaker.
●
● Why does the electrostatic attraction become weaker when the ionic radii is
bigger→This is because when the ionic radius is bigger, the ionic charge is spread
over a large surface area.
●
● when does an covalent bond occur→between two non-metals.
●
● when does a covalent bond form→when an electron is being shared between atoms.
●
● where do the electrons come from In a covalent bond→from the top energy level of
an atom.
●
● what is a dative covalent bond→A covalent bond where both electrons come from
one of the atoms.
●
● what are metals→These are giant structures of atoms held together by metallic
bonds.
●
● what is the structure of metal→Regular lattice.
●
● what causes metallic bonding→When the electrons from the highest energy level of
an atom has the ability to become delocalised. And they are free to move through the
metal in a 'sea of electrons'. which gives the metal nuclei a positive charge, which is
then attracted to the negative charge of the delocalised electrons.
