Question
Answer
Metals   Elements that are shiny, conduct heat and electricity well and often have high melting and boiling points.  
🗑
non-metals   Elements that are not shiny, and do not conduct heat and electricity well. They often have low melting and boiling points. The solid ones are brittle.  
🗑
Property   Something that is used to describe how a material behaves and what it is like. Hardness is a property of some solids.  
🗑
Salts   Compounds made in some reactions involving acids. They have a metal part and a non-metal part. The non-metal part is usually chloride, sulphate or nitrate (e.g. potassium sulphate).  
🗑
Weathered   Broken down by chemical or physical changes.  
🗑
Base   A chemical which reacts with an acid to form a salt.  
🗑
Neutralisation   Mixing an acid and a base together to make a solution with a pH of 7.  
🗑
Oxidised   When a substance reacts with oxygen to form an oxide.  
🗑
Reactive   A substance that reacts with many other substances, or reacts very easily.  
🗑
Unreactive   A substance that reacts with few other substances, or reacts very slowly or not at all.  
🗑
Corrode   When something (such as stone or metal) reacts with chemicals in the air or water and gets worn away.  
🗑
Oxide   A compound formed when something reacts with oxygen.  
🗑
Reactivity Series   A list of metals which shows them in order of their reactivity, with the most reactive at the top.  
🗑
Sulphates   Compounds containing sulphur and oxygen. They are the type of salt formed when a reaction with sulphuric acid occurs.  
🗑
Bonds   Forces holding particles together.  
🗑
displace   When one element takes the place of another in a compound – a type of substitution.  
🗑
Displacement reaction   A reaction where one element takes the place of another in a compound.  
🗑
electrolysis   A process where electricity is used to split compounds apart, normally to produce an element.  
🗑
Metals   good conductors of heat and electricity  
🗑
Metals   shiny  
🗑
Metals   solids, often with high melting points (except for mercury)  
🗑
Metals   found on the left-hand side of the Periodic Table  
🗑
Metals   sometimes magnetic – three metals are magnetic (iron, cobalt and nickel)  
🗑
Metals   form basic oxides  
🗑
Metals   rigid when thick and bendy when thin  
🗑
Metals   can be hammered into shape  
🗑
Non-metals   poor conductors of heat and electricity (except for carbon in the form of graphite which conducts electricity)  
🗑
Non-metals   dull  
🗑
Non-metals   mostly solids or gases  
🗑
Non-metals   found on the right-hand side of the Periodic Table  
🗑
Non-metals   never magnetic  
🗑
Non-metals   form acidic oxides  
🗑
Non-metals   brittle  
🗑
Non-metals   cannot be hammered into shape – the solid ones break  
🗑
metal reacting with an acid   salt and hydrogen gas is given off.  
🗑
Chlorides   made when hydrochloric acid is used.  
🗑
Sulphates   made when sulphuric acid is used.  
🗑
Nitrates   made when nitric acid is used.  
🗑
test for hydrogen   put a burning splint into a test tube of gas. If hydrogen is present, it will explode with a squeaky ‘pop’.  
🗑
Bases   l metal oxides, metal hydroxides and metal carbonates  
🗑
metal oxide / metal hydroxide reacting with an acid   form water and a salt by neutralisation.  
🗑
metal carbonate reactingwith an acid.   form salt, carbon dioxide and water by neutralisation  
🗑
test for carbon dioxide   Limewater goes milky if carbon dioxide is bubbled through it.  
🗑
Sequence to make copper sulfate   Sulphuric acid. Add copper oxide powder. Add powder until unreacted copper oxide is left. Filter & remove unreacted copper oxide. Transfer filtrate to evaporating basin. Heat basin gently. When third of water evaporates, leave to cool. Examine crystals.  
🗑
