13
New cards

What is the mass of a proton and neutron?

1

14

What are isotopes?

An element with the same number of proton and electrons but a different number neutrons

18
New cards

What does the group tell us about the number of electrons in the drawing of atoms?

how many atoms are in the outer shell

19

What is simple distillation?

separating a liquid from a solution

29
New cards

What is fractional distillation?

separating a mixture of liquid

30
New cards

What special equipment is used in fractional distillation?

a fractionating column (glass rods from bottom to top)

31
New cards

What is an element?

a substance made of 1 type of atom

32
New cards

What is a compound?

a substance made of 2 or more different element/compounds, chemically bonded

33
New cards

What is a mixture?

a substance made of 2 or more different element/compounds, not chemically bonded (easy to separate)

34
New cards

What does insoluble mean?

doesn’t dissolve

35
New cards

What is filtration?

separating as insoluble from a liquid

36
New cards

What is chromatography?

coloured solvent dissolve in a solvent, as travel up the paper

37
New cards

What is crystallisation?

when a solution is boiled, water is evaporated, leaving solid crystals

38
New cards

How did John Dalton arrange the periodic table?

Based on atomic weight

39
New cards

How did John Newland arrange the periodic table?

every 8th element was similar when arranged by mass - octaves (only work up until calcium)

40
New cards

How did Dmitri Mendeleev arrange the periodic table?

by relative mass - left gaps for undiscovered elements

41
New cards

What must you keep the same during a symbol equation?

the number of each atoms on both sides

42
New cards

What is the state symbol for solid?

43
New cards

What is the state symbol for liquid?

L

44
New cards

aq

46
New cards

What are the properties of alkali metals?

soft,

not very dense

reactive - stored in water,

conduct electricity and heat

shinny then dull

low melting/boiling points

47
New cards

What are the properties for other metals

used in building material,

conducts heat and electricity,

shiny,

high melting/ boiling points

48
New cards

What happen as you go down group 1?

number of shells increase,

weaker nuclear attraction

easier to lose an electron

49
New cards

What is group 7 called in atom form?

halogen

50
New cards

What is group 7 called when in ion form?

Halide

51
New cards

What happens as you go down group 7?

more electrons

Stronger intermolecular forces

requires more energy to break intermolecular forces

therefore, higher melting/boiling points

52
