| Name one use of chlorine. | Kill bacteria in swimming pools, bleach recycled paper. |
| What is a compound? | Two or more elements chemically joined together |
| What is a molecule? | Two or more atoms joined together |
| How can you show the number of atoms in a compound? | By using a chemical formulae |

| Describe how to make magnesium oxide | heat magnesium ribbon in a flame. |
| Name one metallic that is magnetic | Iron, nickel, cobalt (steel is not an element; it is a mixture!) |
| Name the non metal that conducts electricity | Carbon (graphite—pencil lead) |
| When solid iodine is heated it changes to a gas—what is this change called? | Sublimation |
| What element has the symbol Na? | Sodium |

| Describe the atoms in an element | All the atoms are the same in an element |
| Describe the atoms in a mixture | There are two or more different atoms mixed together but not joined |
| The columns down in the periodic table are called.. | Groups |
| The rows across the periodic table are called... | Periods |
| Describe 2 properties of metals. | Conduct heat, conduct electricity,malleable, ductile, shiny, flexible, (most are) solids at room temperature |
| Describe 2 properties of non metals. | Heat and electrical insulators, brittle, gases or liquid at room temperature, melt easily. |
| Explain why the case of a plug is made of plastic but the pins are made of metal. | Plastic is insulator so you do not get a shock, metal is conductor so you get electricity. |
| What is the word equation for making water? | Hydrogen + oxygen —> hydrogen oxide (water) |
| When magnesium is burned -what compound is formed and how does the mass change? | Magnesium oxide is formed and the mass increases |
| What is the symbol for Calcium in Spanish? | Ca - it is the same whatever language you speak |
| What elements and how many of the atoms are in the compound C6H5OH? | 6 Carbon, 6 hydrogen and 1 oxygen |
| What does malleable mean? | It can be easily shaped |
| How many atoms are in the compound CaCO3? | 1Calcium atom, 1 Carbon atom and 4 Oxygen.atoms |
| Which one is the odd one out? Ne, S, He and Ar? | S because it is not a Noble Gas |
| How many arms (outer electrons) does boron have? | 3 |
| Which one is the odd one out? Sodium, Lithium, Oxygen, Iron? | Oxygen: the only non-metal. |
| How many arms (outer electrons) does Sodium and Potassium have? | 1 |
| What is the compound formed when you react calcium and chlorine? | Calcium chloride |
| What is the 3 elements in Na2SO4? | 2 Sodium, 1 sulphur and 4 oxygen |
| What is the formula for magnesium oxide? | MgO |
| Describe particles in an element? | Elements are made of only one type of atom. |
| What do B- Boron and C- Carbon have to do with each other on the Periodic Table? | They are on the same Period. |
| Why is Mercury an unusual metal?? | It is liquid at room temperature, when the other metals are solid |
| What is a compound? | 2 elements stuck together |
| What is the difference between Potassium and Chlorine? | Potassium is Metal and Chlorine isn’t. |
| What is the difference between metallic elements and non-metallic elements | Metals conduct heat and non-metallic don’t. |
| How is Carbon-Dioxide made? And what type of particle is it? Explain why. | When carbon burns in the presence of oxygen it will create Carbon-Dioxide in the air, in the form of a gas. It is a compound because it is 2 elements stuck together. |
| what r is a chemical that you start with in a chemical reaction? | reactant |
| what p is what is made in a chemical reaction? | product |
| Why are helium, neon and argon placed in the same group? | they are noble gases and cannot combine with any other elements |
| What is the difference between atoms and elements? | an element is a basic substance which can’t be simplified and an atom is the smallest part of an element |
| What is the word equation for the combustion (burning) of Magnesium | Magnesium + Oxygen Magnesium Oxide (MgO) |
| When you react Na (sodium) and O (oxygen) what compound do you get? | Sodium oxide |
| When 2 or more elements join together, what do you create? | A compound |
| What is similar between Radon and Xenon? | they are both Noble Gases, they are unreactive. |
| What type of element is found on the left hand side of the Periodic table? | Metal |
| Explain why Oxygen is a gas | There are weak forces between Oxygen molecules. |
| What is the difference between Chlorine and Bromine? | Chlorine is a gas at room temperature and Bromine is a liquid. |
| What compound is formed when you add Magnesium and Oxygen together? | it becomes Magnesium Oxide. |
| What are 2 common things between Xenon and Chlorine? | they are both gases, they are non-metals. |
