of gold foil that surrounded by florescent
screen that would flash when alpha particles
hit the screen

Continuous versus line spectrums Isotopes
Continuous spectrum Line spectrum • Isotopes are atoms of the same elements
Contains all colours Contains (wavelengths) of
(wavelengths) specific colours Þ Same proton number (same Z)
Þ Different neutron number (different A)
Convergence
Convergence
• Emission spectrum consists of discrete lines that converge at high energy
Emission spectrum consists of discrete lines that converge at high energy
• Relative atomic mass (Ar) is the average
mass of all naturally occurring isotopes
• At the convergence limit, the lines merge to form a continuum.
• Percentage abundance is determined by
Mass spectroscopy
• Beyond this point the electron can have any energy and so must be free
from the influence of the nucleus

Le chatelier’s principle
When the conditions of a system at equilibrium is changed, the position of equilibrium shifts in the direction that counteract the
change.
Concentration If increasing reactant à equilibrium shifts to the products side
If increasing product à equilibrium shifts to the reactants side
Temperature If increasing temperature à equilibrium shifts to the endothermic side
If decreasing temperature à equilibrium shifts to the exothermic side
Pressure If increasing pressure à equilibrium shifts to the less gas molecules side
If decreasing pressure à equilibrium shifts to the more gas molecules side
Catalyst It has no effect on the position of equilibrium, but the equilibrium will be reached faster

The extra stability of benzene
compared to the structure with - Structural isomers are two or more compounds that
alternating double and single have the same molecular formula but different
