Definitions
-
atomic mass
- mass of protons and neutrons
-
atomic number
-
no. of protons
- subatomic particles.jpg
-
nucleon number
- no. of protons and neutrons
-
relative isotopic mass
- mass of an atom of the isotope x 12 / mass of an atom of carbon-12
-
isotopes
- have same no. of protons; different no. of neutrons
-
empirical formula
- simplest ratio of no. of atoms in each element of a compound
-
molecular formula
- actual no. of atoms of each element of a compound
-
relative atomic mass
- average mass of atom of the element x 12 / mass of an atom of carbon-12
-
relative molecular mass
- average mass of a molecule of substance x 12 / mass of an atom of carbon-12
-
molar mass
- 1 mass of 1 mole of substance
-
Mass spectrometry
-
measure relative atomic masses
-
vapourisation
- sample must be GASEOUS
-
ionisation
-
one e-/atom removed by high stream e-
- + ion formed
-
acceleration
- + ion accelerated to magnetic field
-
deflection
- ions with small m/e deflected more
- ions with LARGE m/e deflected less
-
detection
- + ions detected
-
vacuum pump
-
pumps air from inside
- doesn't affect speeding molecules
-
mass spectrograph
- each isotope has separate peaks
- "h" of peak = relative abundance of isotope
