Periodic Table and Formulae, mass and equations
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Atom | smallest particle of an element (that still has the properties of that element) |
| Element | consists of only one type of atom |
| compound | two or more elements chemically bonded |
| mixture | two or more elements not chemically bonded |
| chemical reaction | where bonds are broken and made and atoms are rearranged |
| property | characteristic of a substance that tells you how it looks or behaves |
| group | column, elements place in groups react in a similar way, middle elements 4 per column have no group because their reactions are not predictable |
| period | row |
| group 1 | alkali metals |
| group 7 | halogens |
| group 0 | noble gasses |
| metal properties | high melting point dense good conductors of heat and electricity mostly strong shiny sonorous ductile malleable magnetic 3 - cobalt nickel iron |
| non-metal properties | low melting point low density insulator / poor conductor of heat and electricity dull brittle |
| displacement reaction | reaction where a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element in a compound |
| group 1 alkali metals | very reactive not dense fizz, bubble, ignite, explode with water reactivity increases down the group shiny when cut, but dull uncut -oxide alkali metal + water = alkali solution very weak, weaker down the group dissolve in water, produce hydrogen |
| alkali metal storage | stored in oil/argon to prevent oxidation |
| group 7 halogens | melting + boiling point increase down the group reactivity decreases down the group, reactive chlorine-pale green, bromine-orange, iodine-brown |
| group 0 noble gasses | very unreactive- don't take part in chemical reactions all gasses no space for extra electrons |
| Balancing Equations | Add big numbers to balance, must be same amount of atoms at start and end |
| Crossover Method | 1. Write the symbols with their valencies. 2. Cross the valencies to become subscripts. 3. Remove any “1” and simplify if there’s a common factor. 4. Write the final formula. |
| Law of Conservation of Mass | no atoms can be created or destroyed, chemical reactions just change how the atoms are bonded together |
| valency | number indicated by how many bonds an element can form, maximum 4 |
| naming two element compounds | metal non-metal/ide |
| naming three element compounds (including oxygen) | metal non-metal/ate |
| sodium valency | 1 |
| magnesium valency | 2 |
| potassium valency | 1 |
| oxygen valency | 2 |
| chlorine valency | 1 |
| hydroxide valency (OH) | 1 |
| carbonate valency (CO₃) | 2 |
