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

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...

Inside the atom

 Inside the atom  Inside an atom is a fascinating and intricate world that forms the basis of all matter in the universe. The basic structure of an atom consists of a nucleus at the center, surrounded by a cloud of electrons. Atom  1. Nucleus:  The nucleus is the central core of an atom, and it contains protons and neutrons. Protons are positively charged particles, while neutrons have no charge (they are neutral). Both protons and neutrons are collectively known as nucleons. The strong nuclear force, one of the fundamental forces in nature, holds the protons and neutrons together within the nucleus. 2. Electrons: Electrons are negatively charged particles that orbit the nucleus in energy levels or electron shells. Each shell can hold a specific number of electrons, and electrons closer to the nucleus have lower energy levels than those farther away. The behavior of electrons is described by quantum mechanics, and they exhibit both wave-like and particle-like propert...
