Atomic number, Mass number and Atomic species

 Atomic number, Mass number and Atomic species

Atomic number or Nuclear charge 

(i) The number of protons present in the nucleus of the atom is called atomic number (Z). 
(ii) It was determined by Moseley as, 

V1/2 =a(z-b)

Where, v=X -  ray’s frequency

 Z= atomic number of the metal a & b are constant. 
(iii) Atomic number = Number of positive charge on nucleus = Number of protons in nucleus = Number of electrons in nutral atom.
 (iv) Two different elements can never have identical atomic number.

 Mass number 

Mass number (A) = Number of protons or Atomic number (Z) + Number of neutrons or Number of neutrons = A – Z .
 (i) Since mass of a proton or a neutron is not a whole number (on atomic weight scale), weight is not necessarily a whole number.
 (ii) The atom of an element X having mass number (A) and atomic number (Z) may be represented by a symbol, ZXA

Different types of atomic species

Isotopes

Given by Soddy

1.They are the atoms of a given element  which have the same Atomic number (Z) but different Mass number (A).

2.They have same number of protons and same number of electrons but  different number of neutrons.

3. They have same electronic confriguration , same chemical properties and same position in the periodic table but different physical properties. 

examples: 


 Isobars

Given by Aston 
1.They are the atoms of different elements which have the same Mass number (A) but different Atomic number(Z).
2.They have different number of electron , protons and neutrons but sum of number of protons and neutrons i.e. number of neucleons remains same .
3. They have different electronic configuration , chemical properties and the position in the periodic table. 
examples 

 Isotones

1.They are the atoms of different elements which have the same number of neutrons but different atomic number, mass number , number of protons and number of electrons.

2. They have the different electronic configuration, physical properties , chemical properties and position in the periodic table. 

examples 

Isodiaphers 

They are the atoms of different elements which have the same difference of the number of Neutrons and protons. 
examples 

Isoelectronic species 

They are the atoms of given element which have the same number of electrons and electronic configuration but different atomic numbet and mass number. 
examples 

Isosters 

they are the molecules which have the same number of atoms , number of electrons and physical properties and chemical properties.

PERIODIC TABLE

 Modern Periodic table Modern Periodic Law :  The recent work has established that the fundamental property of an atom is atomic number and not atomic weight. Therefore, atomic number is taken as the basis of the classification of the elements. The modern periodic law was given by Moseley, it may be stated as : ''The properties of elements are periodic functions of their atomic number". Modern periodic table is also called long form of the periodic table or Bohr’s table. In this table, the elements are arranged in order of their increasing atomic number. It consists of 4 blocks (s, p, d and f), 18 groups numbered from 1 to 18 and 7 periods numbered from 1 to 7. Short tricks to learn periodic table  Blocks : The periodic table is divided into four main blocks (s, p, d and f) depending upon the subshell to which the valence electron enters into.  (1) Elements of group 1 and 2 constitute s-Block.   (2) Elements of group 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 constitut...

Chemistry 101: A Beginner's Guide to Understanding the World Around Us

Chemistry 101: A Beginner's Guide to Understanding the World Around Us Chemistry  What is Chemistry ? Chemistry is the study of matter and its properties, composition, and interactions with other substances. It is a fundamental science that encompasses a wide range of topics, from the behavior of atoms and molecules to the reactions that occur in living organisms. Chemistry is the foundation of modern technology and plays a critical role in fields such as medicine, engineering, and materials science. At its core, chemistry is concerned with understanding the structure and behavior of matter at the atomic and molecular level. Chemists study the properties of elements, the structure of molecules, and the forces that govern chemical reactions. They also investigate the behavior of matter under different conditions, such as temperature, pressure, and concentration. One of the key aspects of chemistry is the concept of the chemical bond, which is the force that holds atoms together in m...

Molar : Understanding the Concept and Its Significance

Demystifying Molar: Understanding the Concept and Its Significance Introduction: In the field of chemistry, the concept of the mole, often referred to as "molar," serves as a fundamental unit of measurement. The molar is a crucial concept that allows scientists to quantify and understand the relationships between atoms, molecules, and reactions. In this blog, we will delve into the fascinating world of moles, exploring their definition, significance, and applications in various aspects of chemistry. What is a Molar? Simply put, a molar is a unit of measurement used in chemistry to quantify the amount of a substance. It provides a bridge between the microscopic world of atoms and molecules and the macroscopic world of everyday measurements. The molar is defined as the amount of a substance that contains as many entities (atoms, molecules, ions, etc.) as there are atoms in exactly 12 grams of carbon-12. This definition is based on Avogadro's number, which is approximately 6...
