Chemistry the study of matter
Matter anything that takes up space and has Mass
Non-matter energy, feelings, time
Atoms the building blocks of matter. what everything is made of.
Atoms sub-atomic particles protons, neutrons and electrons
Types of atoms there are 118 types of known atoms
Columns Groups
Rows Periods
Atomic Number How and atom is identified by the number of protons
Stable atoms Number of electrons is the same to the number of protons
Relative Atomic Mass Mass of an atom, made up of protons added to neutrons
Number of Valence electrons Depends on group. Noble Gases have full valence shells.
Number of Valence shells Depends on period.
Cation Metal ion loses or donates electrons have a positive charge due to there being more protons then electrons Group 1 + 2 loses electrons (ignore hydrogen)
Ions an atom that loses or gains electrons to produce an overall charge and gain a full valence shell done through chemical reactions balanced, unstable
Anion Non-Metals shares or gains electrons have a negative charge due to there being less protons then electrons
Electronic Configuration 2, 8, 8, 2
Reactivity of metals Group 1 Period 2-7 Alkali Metals lose 1 electron = most reactive Group 2 Period 2-7 loses 2 electrons = less reactive Group 1 is always most reactive Greater period = greater reactive Less electrons missing = more reactive
Metallic Bonding M+M Forms Lattice Structure M atoms bond by sharing electrons Valence electrons become delocalised, moves freely held together by the force of attraction between cations and electrons
Metal ion: Lithium P= 3 E = 3 N = 4 loses 1 electron P= 3 E = 2 N = 4 Charge is 1+ or +
EXCEPTION to Non-Metals Group 18 = full valence shell =/= ions Hydrogen = cation Carbon = cation
Reactivity of non-metals Group 18 = Noble Gases Group 17 = Halogens Group 1 is always most reactive Greater period = less reactive Valence shells are close to nucleus = strong attraction to electrons
Properties of Metals Conductors: can conduct heat and electricity Malleable: Can be hammered into different forms like sheet Ductile: can be drawn into a wire Solid at room temperature: Applies to but mercury who it built different <3 shiny
Properties of Non-metals Liquids, gases, metalloid range of colours not shiny Metalloid can be semi-conductors (only conduct electricity) No free moving electrons, held within valence shell Weak force between molecule making them have low melting/boiling point
Covalent Bonding NM+NM Merges valence shells balance atom do this to merge valence shells to share electrons Examples H^2, O^2, NH^3
Ionic Bonding M + NM When an atom which needs to lose one electron donates it to another atom that needs to gain electrons creates a pair of ion that are attracted to each other lattice structure
Chemical Formula The short hand way of representing which ions are present on the ionic structure and the ratio of these ions in the lattice.
STEPS TO WRITING CHEMICAL FORMULA 1. identify relevant ions in formula sheet, write down symbol and charge 2. check if charges balance (are they the same) 3. if charges do not balance, add an ion one at a time 'til they do To be continued

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
