QuestionAnswer
steps in mass spectrometry vaporisation ionisation acceleration deflection detection
allotrope’ Different structural forms of an element.
fullerenes ** nanomaterials
Noble gases are so unreactive This is a very stable electron configuration (resulting in a low reactivity) / Chemically stable
excess all atoms substituted
electronegativity the ability of an atom to attract electrons in a covalent bond
(CH3) methyl group
test for alkene bromine water will almost instantly decolourise it
covalent molecular low melting & boiling point soft and flexible This type of bonding is the electrostatic attraction between shared electrons and adjacent nuclei The non-metal elements share electrons In order to achieve a stable electron configuration
covalent network - forms networks - high melting & boiling point - only covalent bonds - very hard - insoluble in water
ionic substance - Ionic substances have a rigid lattice structure - If a force is applied, like charges align and repel, causing the substance to shatter i.e. it is brittle
emission spectra Atoms can become excited when electrons absorb energy The electrons then move to higher energy levels Electrons then move back down to ground state This process releases energy / photons The frequency of light released determines the colour observed
first ionisation trend - First ionisation energy increases across a period due to increased number of protons in the nucleus - This makes it more difficult to remove an outer shell electron
electronegativity trend Electronegativity increases across a period due to increased number of protons in the nucleus, doesn't include Group 18 elements Electronegativity decreases down a group due to an increased atomic radius and shielding from inner electron shells
process of fractional distillation As the liquid air is warmed, the different components would begin to boil Each component would have a unique boiling point, this would comprise the different ‘fractions’ Therefore each component, could be separated / isolated from air
how mass spectrometry can be used to determine the isotopic composition Atoms of the element are ionised and accelerated Ions are deflected by a magnetic field based on their mass to charge ratio Different isotopes have different masses and deflecte by different amounts The proportion of each isotope present is detected
bromine test Add bromine / iodine water alkene would undergo an addition reaction Orange / brown would fade to colourless Other 2 compounds would have no reaction, orange / brown colour would remain
catalyst for Hydrogenation metal" nickel, platinum
Halogenation catalyst alkane : UV
hydration catalyst slfuric acid
Stoichiometry mole of known Divide grams by mole (known) Coefficient of unknown divide by coefficient of known Ratio (3) times mole of known (2) = mol of unknown Mass of unknown x mole (4) = mass answer (grams)

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.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
