🗑
Are metals ductile?   Yes, metals are ductile  
🗑
Are metals brittle?   No, metals are not brittle.  
🗑
Do metals conduct heat?   Yes, metals conduct heat  
🗑
Are metals located:a) on the left side of the periodic tableb) in a column down the right side of the periodic tablec) across a few groups on the right hand side of the periodic table   a) Metals are located on the left side of the periodic table  
🗑

🗑
True or False: Elements contain only one type of atom?   True. Elements are made of only one type of atom  
🗑
True or False: Compounds contain only one type of atom.   False. Compounds are made of more than one type of atom, in a fixed ratio. EG H20 is a compound which contains twice as much hydrogen as oxygen  
🗑
True or False: The production of a gas is a sign of a chemical reaction.   True. The production of a gas does show a chemical reaction has occured  
🗑
Name 2 signs of a chemical reaction   The signs of a chemical reaction are:* change in mass* change in temperature* production of a gas* formation of a precipitate* permanent change in colour* production of light  
🗑
What is a precipitate?   A precipitate is a solid formed when 2 liquids are mixed. It is a sign that a chemical reaction has occurred.  
🗑
What is an element's atomic number?   An atom's atomic number is the number of protons in an atom's nucleus.  
🗑
What is an element's mass number?   The mass number is the number of protons + neutrons in an atom's nucleus.  
🗑
In a neutral atom (one with no charge), how many electrons are there compared with the number of protons?   In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is EQUAL to the number of protons.  
🗑
A chemical that increases the rate of a reaction without being consumed by the reaction is called?   A catalyst  
🗑
True or False: Increasing temperature decreases the speed of a chemical reaction   False. Higher temperature increases reaction speed  
🗑
True or False: Decreasing the size of particles decreases the speed of a chemical reaction.   False. Smaller particles react faster.  
🗑
Does stirring increase the speed of a chemical reaction?   Yes, stirring increases the rate of a chemical reaction.  
🗑
What is concentration?   It is a measure of how many particles are present in a given amount of liquid.  
🗑
What effect does increasing the concentration of reactants have on reaction rate?   Increasing concentration increases the rate of a reaction.  
🗑
What is the pH of an acid?   Between 0 and 7  
🗑
What is the pH of a neutral solution like water?   7  
🗑

🗑
Are acids sour?   Acids are sour.  
🗑
What should you wear when using acids and bases?   Safety glasses, lab coats, gloves  
🗑
What happens when you add an acid to a base?   They neutralise each other, giving a salt and water.  
🗑
What does acid do to plants?   Acids kill plants!  
🗑
Are soaps acids or bases?   Soaps are bases.  
🗑
Is vinegar acidic or basic?   Vinegar is acidic.  
🗑
Is Draino acidic or basic?   Draino is basic.  
🗑
Are soft drinks acidic or basic?   Soft drinks are acidic.  
🗑
