New cards

What is the definition of isotopes?

atoms of the same element with different number of neutrons

2
New cards

What is the average atomic mass an average of?

average of all naturally existing isotopes of an element

3
New cards

What are the mass of electrons, protons, and neutrons? Write in the format “electrons: X, protons: Y, neutrons: Z)

electrons: 0

protons: 1

neutrons: 1

4
New cards

What does the atomic numbers on the periodic table tell us?

number of protons and electrons

5
New cards

How do you calculate the number of neutrons on a periodic table?

Average atomic mass (rounded) - atomic number (# of protons)

6
New cards

What is the definition of atoms

smallest individual particle of one type of element

7
New cards

Atoms are _______ in charge

neutral

8
New cards

Atoms have the equal number of ______ and _______

protons, electrons

9
New cards

What do you call an atom that gained or lost electron?

ion

10
New cards

What is the definition of ions

an atom or molecule with a net electric charge due to the loss or gain of one or more electrons

11
New cards

What does an atom and an ion of the same element have in common?

same number of protons

12
New cards

What happens when an atom loses an electron and why?

becomes an cation because it is now positively charged

13
New cards

What happens when an atom gains an electron and why?

becomes an anion because it is now negatively charged

14
New cards

Outline what a molecule is and state 3 examples of molecules.

  • made of 2 or more atoms that are chemically bound (can be same or different elements)

  • O2, N2, H20 (can be other examples)

15
New cards

Outline what a compound is and state 3 examples of compounds.

  • made of 2 or more atoms of different elements that are connected by chemical bonds

  • all compounds are molecules (but not all molecules are compounds)

  • CO2, NaCl, MgO (can be other examples)

16
New cards

What is the definition of ionic compounds?

two or more ions that form ionic bonds which hold the ions together by the electrostatic forces of attraction

17
New cards

Describe the formation of ionic bonds.

  • Ionic bonds form between metals and nonmetals when one atom transfers one or more electrons to another atom.

  • This transfer of electrons creates ions with opposite charges, one positively charged (cation) and one negatively charged (anion).

  • The electrostatic attraction between these oppositely charged ions forms the ionic bond.

18
New cards

Fill in the blank: Metals are electron _______.

Outline the reason for your answer for the question above.

doners

because metals have lesser than 4 electrons in their valence shells so it is easier for them to donate/lose electrons to form a full valence shell

19
New cards

Fill in the blank: Non-metals are electron _______.

Outline the reason for your answer for the question above.

acceptors

because nonmetals have 4 or more electrons in their valence shells so it is easier for them to gain electrons to form a full octet/valence shell

20
New cards

Outline the trend for the reactivity of metals.

the periodic trend in reactivity of metals increases as you move to the left of the periodic table and down a group

21
New cards

Describe the reason of the periodic trend in reactivity of metals.

  • Metals with more energy levels have valence electrons that are further away from the nucleus, with weaker attraction.

  • They lose electrons more easily so they are more reactive as you go down the group.

  • Metals further to the right in the same period have more protons so there is a stronger attraction for valence electrons.

  • They lose electrons LESS easily and are LESS reactive.

22
New cards

Outline the trend in reactivity for non-metals.

reactivity increases as you move to the right of the period and up a group

23
New cards

Describe the reason of the periodic trend in reactivity of non-metals.

  • Non-metals with fewer energy levels have a shorter distance between the nucleus and the valence electrons, with stronger attractive force pulling the electrons

    → They gain electrons more readily and are more reactive as you go up the group

  • Non-metals further to the LEFT in the same

    period have fewer protons so there is a weaker attraction for valence electrons

    → They gain electrons LESS easily and are LESS reactive.

24
New cards

What is the number of the group where Alkali Metals are found on the periodic table?

Group 1

25
New cards

What is the number of the group where Alkaline earth metals are found on the periodic table?

Group 2

26
New cards

What is the number of the group where Halogens are found on the periodic table?

Group 17

27
New cards

What is the number of the group where Noble Gases are found on the periodic table?

Group 18

28
New cards

Why are noble gases not reactive?

Because it has a full valence shell already.

29
New cards

Why are alkali metals very reactive?

Because it only has to lose one electron to have a complete valence shell

30
New cards

Why are halogens very reactive?

because it only has to gain one electron in order to have a full octet

31
New cards

According to the periodic table, state the elements that are a metalloid.

boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, tellurium, polonium

or

B, Si, Ge, As, Sb, Te, Po

32
New cards

Who made the solid sphere model? What are the advantages and disadvantages of it?

  • john dalton 1803

  • advantages: recognised that atoms of a particular element differ from other elements

  • disadvantages: atoms are not indivisible, it can be separated

33
New cards

Who made the plum pudding model? What are the advantages and disadvantages of it?

  • j.j thompson 1904

  • advantage: recognised electrons as components of atoms

  • disadvantage: this model does not show the nucleus

34
New cards

Who made the nuclear model? What are the advantages and disadvantages of it?

  • ernest rutherford 1911

  • advantage: realised positive charge was localised in the nucleus of an atom

  • disadvantage: did not explain why electrons remain in orbit around the nucleus

35
New cards

Who made the planetary model? What are the advantages and disadvantages of it?

  • niels bohr 1913

  • advantage: proposed stable electron orbits, explained emission spectra for some elements

  • disadvantage: moving electrons should emit energy and collapse into the nucleus, model did not work well for heavier atom'

36
New cards

Who made the quantum model? What are the advantages of it?

  • erwin schrodinger 1926

  • advantage: shows electrons don't move around the nucleus in orbits but in clouds where the position is uncertain, still widely accepted as the most accepted model of the atom

37
New cards

What model did j.j thompson make?

plum pudding model

38
New cards

What model did erwin schrodinger make?

quantum model

39

nuclear model

40
New cards

solid sphere model

42
New cards

State 3 characteristics of metal.

  • shiny

  • good conductors of heat and electricity

  • malleable (able to be hammered or pressed into shape without breaking or cracking)

43
New cards

State 3 characteristics of non-metal.

  • poor conductors of heat and electricity

  • not malleable

  • not ductile (not able to be drawn out into a thin wire)

44
New cards

Heat is released

exothermic

45
New cards

heat is absorbed

endothermic

46
New cards

Electrical Conductivity

  • Electrical conductivity refers to a
    substance’s ability to conduct electrons, or
    its ability to allow electrons to move
    through it

  • Substances with high electrical
    conductivity will allow electrons to move
    through them with the least amount of
    resistance

47
New cards

Solution

A homogenous mixture of solute and
solvent

48
New cards

Solute

The substance that can be dissolved within
another substance

49
New cards

Solvent

The substance that can dissolve another
substance, present in larger amount
(commonly a liquid)

50
New cards

Electrolyte

Electrolytes are salts that dissolves in water and
produces ionized (charged) particles that are able
to conduct electricity.
