what is a molecule
2 or more atoms chemically bonded together
what is a compound
2 or more elements chemically bonded together
propterties of ionic compunds
are solid at room temperature, are brittle, have high melting and boiling points
what are isotopes
Atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons
whats an element
an element is made up of only one kind of atom
what is the emission spectra
Atoms are heated in a flame, and electrons absorb energy, which allows them to jump from their normal shell to a higher level shell (this is known as the excited state). When they return, they emit the energy it absorbed to jump to the excited state in the form of light energy
What is group 1
the alkali metals except hydrogen
what is the properties of alkali metals
have low melting and boiling points, good conductors of heat and electricity , they are shiny
what is group 2
alkaline earth metals
properties of alkaline earth metals
silver coloured metals, more dense and harder than alkali metals, highly reactive but not as reactive as alkali metals
what is group 3 to 12
transition metals
properties of transition metals
shiny, good conductors, high melting point,
what is group 17
halogens
what is group 18
noble gases
What is the charge of each subatomic particle?
protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge, neutrons don’t have a charge
properties of metals
good conductors of electricity, ductile and malleable, high melting and boiling points
properties of metalloids
brittle, mostly solid at room temp, colour is metallic or dull
non metals properties
not good conductors of electricity, low melting and boiling points, dull
electronegativity trends
increases across a period, decreases down a group
atomic mass trends
increases across the period
atomic radius trends
decreases across a period, increases down a group
metals reactivity trends
decreases across a period, increases down a group
non metals reactivity trends
increases across a period, decreases down a group
what are metalloids
elements which have both metallic and non metallic characteristics
what are allotropes
are different physical forms of the same elements
what is electronegativity
how strongly the nucleus attracts electrons from other atoms
what is covalent bonding
formed when two or more atoms share electrons
what is polyatomic ions
a charged ion that consists of two or more atoms bonded together
what is metallic bonding
It is the bonding between cations surrounded by a sea of electrons. This bond is lusturous, malleable, ductile
why are metals good conductors of electricity
because of their free moving cloud of delocalised electrons
why do metals have high melting and boiling points
because the forces between the network of positive ions and the free moving electrons are strong
what is melting and boiling point
The boiling point is the temperature at which a liquid begins to convert to gas, The melting point is the temperature at which a solid begins to convert to a liquid.
why are metals lustre
because the delocalised electrons are freely moving between the network of positive cations and are able to reflect light
what happens when a metallic structure is struck with some force
The rows of cations in the lattice are pushed closer together, However, the delocalised electrons also move, and in turn, the attraction between the cations and electrons is maintained
what is a metal alloy
is a mixture of two or more metals
what is a memory alloy
alloys that have the ability to return to their original shape if damaged
What types of elements do ionic bonds occur between?
metals and non metals
What types of ions do metals form?
cations - positive ions
what happens when you move across a period
The number of shells stays the same, but the nuclear charge increases. As the number of protons increases they draw the electrons in closer, thereby decreasing the atomic size
what happens when you move down the group
atomic size increases because the number of shells increases
reactivity of transition metals
much less reactive
structure of a metal
The atoms are packed tightly together in a regular pattern, this allows the outer electrons to separate from their atoms and the result is a lattice of ions in a sea of electrons
Describe the characteristic that determines the overall
order of elements in the periodic table.
increasing atomic number
Contrast (the difference between) an atom and an
element.
An atom is made of smaller, subatomic particles. Elements are any material made of only one type of atom.
how are metals stored
metals are packed tightly together in a regular pattern in a lattice by a sea of electrons
When naming an ionic compound, identify which ion is written first.
the cation
what is a molecular compound
is a chemical compound made up of two or more non-metal atoms that are bonded together by covalent bonds
Explain why ionic compounds cannot conduct electricity when in the solid state, but they can conduct electricity when melted.
their ions are held in fixed positions and cannot move
What is the difference between an atom and an ion?
An atom has an equal number of protons and electrons, while an ion has unequal number of protons and electrons
What name is given to a metal when it forms an ion,
cation
What name is given to a non-metal when it forms an ion,
anions
What is an ionic bond?
is the electrostatic force of attraction between a positively charged metal ion and a negatively charged non-metal ion. This bond is brittle, has high melting points, and only conducts when dissolved
An ionic bond is between which two types of elements?
metal and non metal
why does an ionic compound have high melting points
strong electrostatic interactions between ions
ionic compound
a molecule made up of a negatively charged anion and a positively charged cation
example of polyatomic ion
chlorite
why are metals malleable
metals are malleable because when a force is applied to a metal, the layers of cations move past each other without breaking
what does malleable mean?
malleable means that a solid is able to be shaped into something else without breaking
why is magnesium a good conductor of electricity
it has free-moving electrons that can easily transition from the valence band to the conduction band, allowing for the flow of electric current.
Why is it it important to work in a group for experiment
a collaborative team has the advantage of sharing their ideas and resources, enabling them to find solutions more effectively than individuals working alone in a laboratory
