Question | Answer |
---|---|
What is an atom | The smallest part of anything that can exist |
What is an element | Molecules made of 1 type of atom |
What is a compound | Two or more elements chemically combined |
What is a mixture | Two or more elements or compounds not chemically combined |
Describe filtration | Separates solids and liquids |
Describe crystallisation | Separates solute and solvent |
Describe distillation | Separates to liquids with different boiling points |
Describe chromatography | Separates different solubilities |
Describe the descovery of the atom | -first atoms were thought to be solid spheres which couldn't be divided -plum pudding model negative electrons in positive shell -alpha particle scattering experiment proved that there was a positive nucleus with electrons orbiting in shells |
Describe Rutherford's scattering experiment | -Alpha particles fired at gold foil -most pass straight through -some deflect of at angles -very few bounced off |
What are the charges and masses of subatomic particles | Proton 1 and 1 Neutron 0 and 1 Electron -1 and 0 |
What is an isotope | An element with a different number of neutrons |
What is relative atomic mass | The average mass of an element taking into account isotopes |
Where are metals and non metals located on the periodic table | Metals left Non metals right |
How are the elements of the periodic table arranged | In order of atomic number Elements with similar properties are in groups |
What does an elements group number tell us about its electrons | The number in its outer shell |
Describe the development of the periodic table | -arranged in order of atomic weight -mendeleev left gaps for undescovered elements -the gaps were filled in -knowledge of isotopes meant that atomic weight alone was incorrect |
What type of ions do metals and non metals form | Metal positive Non metal negative |
Name 5 properties of metals | -lose electrons -usually solid at room temperature -high melting and boiling points -good conductors -oxidise -dense -hard -usually shiny |
Name 4 properties of non metals | -poor conductors -brittle -gain electrons -most shiny -colourful -reduce |
Describe the elements in group 0 | -gas -inert -full outer shell -boiling point increases as you go down the group -used for electric lights |
Describe the elements in group 1 | -1 electron in outer shell -reactivity increases as you go down the group -reactivity with water to produce hydrogen and a salt -solid -metals |
Describe the elements in group 7 | -7 electrons in outer shell -boiling point increases as you go down the group -reactivity decreases as you go down the group |
Describe the transition metals | -form coloured compounds -diferent charged ions -catalysts |
Explain how the arrangement of electrons is related to the reactivity of the element | Less electrons need to be transferred = more reactive |
Balance this equation Fe + H2O -> H2 + FeO | It is already balenced |
Define soluble | Dissolves in water |
Define insoluble | Does not dissolve in water |
What is a solute | A substance that is dissolved in a solution |
What is a solvent | A substance that the solute is dissolved in |
