Chapter 1 Atomic structure
Practice questions
Smaller atom or electrons enter the same 1 from left to right of the Periodic
level or similar shielding Table.
3 (d) Electron removed from a level of lower 1 Electrons are lost from the highest
energy or e– removed from 2p rather than energy level (which contains the
from 3s electrons) first.
Less shielding 1
4 (a) (i) Atoms with the same number of protons / same 1 Don’t say the same number of
atomic number electrons.
But different number of neutrons / different 1
mass number
4 (a) (ii) Detected by: positive ions collide with / 1 Learn this.
are deflected to / are collected at the detector
Causing current to flow / detected electrically 1
Abundance measured: idea that current
depends on number of ions hitting detector 1
4 (b)(i) An average value for the isotopes on the 1
element
4 (b)(ii) ((54 × 5.8) + (56 × 91.6) + (57 × 2.6)) / 100 2 % given so divide the abundance by
= 55.9 100.
5 (a) Neutral atoms pick up a positive charge (ie lose 1
an electron) to the sample needle.
5 (b) Molecules of air would cause the beam of ions 1
to collide with them and obstruct its path.
5 (c) They are attracted towards the negatively 3
charged plate and pas through the hole. The
smaller ions attain a greater velocity and arrive
at the detector first.
5 (d) The positive ions pick up an electron from the 1
detector and cause a flow of current.
