How has the John Dalton model of an atom changed?
it changed overtime because of the discovery of subatomic particles
Describe the structure of an atom
A nucleus containing protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons in a shell
What is the relative charge of a neutron?
0
What is the relative mass of an electron?
1/1836
What is the relative mass of a proton?
1
what is the relative mass of a neutron?
1
What is the relative charge of an electron?
-1
What is the relative charge of a proton?
+1
Describe the nucleus of an atom
The nucleus of an atom is very small in comparison to the overall size of the atom
Where is most of the mass concentrated in an atom?
the nucleus
Explain why atoms contain equal number of protons and electrons
Atoms are neutral and the charges of a proton is +1 and the charge of an electron is -1 so the charge cancels each other out.
What is meant by the term “atom mass”?
the total number of protons and neutrons
What are isotopes?
different atoms of the same element containing the same number of protons but different number of neutrons in their nuclei
What is the formula for finding the relative atomic mass of an element?
(isotope 1 x abundance)+(isotope 2 x abundance)
100
How did Mendeleev arrange the table of elements?
by using properties of these elements and their compounds
Describe electronic configuration
How many electrons are in the outermost shell
What is a cation?
A positively charged ion
What is an anion?
A negatively charged ion
What is an ion?
an group of atoms that have a positive or negative charge
Explain the formation of ions in group 1 elements
ions produced in group 1 elements lose 1 electron to form a charge of +1
Explain the formation of ions in group 2 elements
group 2 metals will lose to electrons to make a charge of +2
Explain what formation of ions group 6 elements will have
group 6 non-metals will gain 2 electrons and form a charge of -2
Explain what formation of ions group 7 elements will have
Group 7 non-metals will gain 1 electrons and will have an overall charge of -1
What does the ending “-ide” at the end of a compound name mean?
it means that the compound contains 2 elements (one non-metal)

What are properties of ionic compound?
made out of metals and non-metals
have regular structures and are held together by a strong force of attraction
have high melting and boiling points
when melted or dissolved in water, the compounds conduct electricity
What are some properties of simple molecular compounds?
substances that consist of small molecules an have a low boiling and melting point

all the atoms are connected by a strong covalent bond
some giant covalent structures conduct electricity but others don’t
What are some properties of metallic (metal) structures?
they are arranged in a regular pattern
always made out of metallic elements
