Question | Answer |
What is an oxidation? | When an element GAINS/JOINS with oxygen |
What is reduction? | When a compound LOSES oxygen |

What type of substance is Hydrogen? Element, Compound or mixture? | Element |
What type of substance is salty water? Element, Compound or mixture? | Mixture |
Name a metal that rusts | Iron |
Why is it wrong to say “Zinc rusts”?What should you say instead | Because ONLY iron rusts; all the other metals OXIDISE |
What is the chemical name for rust? | Iron Oxide |
What two chemicals are needed for Iron to rust? | Water and Oxygen |
Write the name of the compound which is formed when Zinc reacts with sulphur | Zinc Sulfide |
Write the name of the compound which is formed when Sodium reacts with Chlorine | Sodium Chloride |
Where are the metals found on the Periodic table? | On the left hand side |
What acid would you need to make Zinc Sulfate? | Sulfuric Acid |
Jane wants to make Copper Sulfate. Why should she not add Sulfuric Acid to Copper?What should she use instead of Copper? | Because Copper is not reactive enough (it is less reactive than Hydrogen). She could use Copper Oxide or Copper Carbonate instead. |

When Magnesium is burned, a white powder is formed. What is the name of this white powder? | Magnesium Oxide (have you written the word equation? Magnesium +Oxygen Magnesium Oxide) |
In an experiment, Magnesium is burned in air. Why is the mass increasing? | Because Oxygen has combined with Magnesium |
What is the name of this compound: CuS? | Copper SulfIDE (when only 2 elements, the non-metals finishes in -IDE) |
What is the name of this compound: CuSO4? | Copper SulfATE (when 2 elements PLUS oxygen the non-metal finishes in –ATE) |

How is Iron extracted from its ore (Iron Oxide)? | by heating Iron Oxide with Carbon in a blast furnace |
How is Aluminium extracted from its ore (Aluminium Oxide)? | by electrolysis of Aluminium Oxide (ie splitting Aluminium Oxide into Aluminium and Oxygen using a direct current) |
