What is the four main ideas for the particulate theory of matter

  1. Particles move in constant, random motion

  2. There are forces of attraction between the particles

  3. There are spaces between the particles

  4. All matter is made of particles

2

What is Osmosis

Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a high concentration of water to a low concentration of water through a semipermeable membrane.

New cards
3

What is diffusion

Movement of particles from an area of high concentration to low concentration.

New cards
4

What is sublimation

A change of state from a solid directly to a gas. Some examples are iodine, ammonium chloride

New cards
5

What is Brownian motion

The random motion by small particles suspended in the fluid.

New cards
6

Heating curve

At melting point all the energy is being used to separate the particles.

8

What is solubility

Solubility is the maximum amount of solute that dissolves in a specific amount of solvent.

New cards
9

What is an unsaturated solution

Contains less than maximum amount of solute. Can dissolve more solute.

New cards
10

Where would it be located in a solubility curve

It would be below the line.

New cards
11

Saturated Solutions

Contain the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve. It will have undissolved solute at the bottom of the container.

New cards
12

Where would it be found on a solubility curve

On the line

New cards
13

Supersaturated Solutions

An unstable solution that contains an amount of solute greater than the solute solubility.

New cards
14

What affects the rate of diffusion

Temperature. The higher the temperature the faster the rate.

New cards
15

What is a homogenous mixture

A homogeneous mixture is a type of mixture where the components are uniformly distributed throughout the mixture.

New cards
16

What is a heterogenous mixture

Not uniform throughout

New cards
17

Solutions

It is a homogenous mixture. Has very small particles. Not visible. Light passes through

New cards
18

Colloids

A heterogenous mixture. Small particles. Not visible.Light scatters- tyndall effect

New cards
19

Suspensions

A heterogenous mixture. Large particles ( Larger than solution and colloids), easily visible. No light passes through. will sediment

New cards
20

Filtration

Used to separate an insoluble solid from a mixture.

New cards
21

Evaporation

Used to remove a solvent from a mixture by being heated or boiled.

New cards
22

Crystallisation

Used to separate a dissolved solid from a solution, when the solid is much more soluble in hot solvent than in cold. Used to purify substances by forming solid crystals

New cards
23

Simple distillation

Simple distillation separates liquids in a mixture by heating and collecting the vapor produced, which is then condensed and collected separately. It works best when the liquids have DIFFERENT boiling points.

New cards
24

When do you use simple distillation

When you want to separate the solvent.

New cards
25

Fractional Distillation

Used to separate two miscible liquids that have close boiling points.

New cards
26

What is the difference between simple and fractional distillation?

simple distillation is suitable for separating liquids with large differences in boiling points, while fractional distillation is more effective for separating liquids with similar boiling points.

New cards
27

What are some separation techniques based on difference in density?

Separation Funnel, Centrifugation, Sedimentation

New cards
28

Separation Funnel

Used to separate two immiscible liquids of different densities. Like oil and water

New cards
29

Sedimentation

If a solid particle is insoluble and is more dense than the surrounding mixture. Then it will fall to the ground.

New cards
30

Centrifugation

Rapidly spinning a mixture of substances at an axis that have different densities

New cards
31

Paper Chromatography

Used to separate substances of different solubilities

New cards
32

What is a mixture

A mixture is two or more substances not chemically combined that can be separated by physical means

New cards
33

What is an element

Simplest form of pure substances. They cannot be broken down into anything else.

New cards
34

What is a compound

Mixture of two or more elements chemically combined. They can be broken down into simple substance by chemical means

New cards
35

When do you use evaporation and crystallisation

Evaporation is used to remove a solvent from a mixture or concentrate a solution. While crystallization is used to purify substances by forming solid crystals from a solution

New cards
36

What does the choice depend on

The choice depends on the specific separation requirements and the properties of the components in the mixture.

New cards
37

What is atomic number

The number of protons found in the nucleus of an atom

New cards
38

what is mass number

The relative mass of atoms

New cards
39

What is an isotope

An atom that has the same amount of protons and electron but different neutrons

New cards
40

What is an radio-isotope

A radioactive isotope

New cards
41

What makes chemical properties

The numbers of valence electrons

New cards
42

What are some uses of Radio- isotopes

Carbon dating, radiotherapy, pacemakers, and nuclear power .

New cards
43

Who introduced the law of triads

Johaan Doebereiner from 1817-1829

New cards
44

Who introduced the law of octaves

John Newlands in 1865

New cards
45

Who arranged elements in increasing atomic mass

Dmitri Mendeleev in 1869

New cards
46

Who arranged elements in increasing atomic number.

Henry Mosely in 1914

New cards
47

What is formed when alkali metals react with water?

A metal hydroxide and Hydrogen

New cards
48

Trend in group 2 - the alkaline earth metals

They react by losing electrons to form positively charged cations.

New cards
49

Trends in group 7- the halogen

They react by gaining an electron to form negatively charges ions called anions. The ease of ionization increases moving up because its closer to the nucleus.

New cards
50

Calculating the relative atomic mass of isotopes

Multiply percentage by the mass of each of them.

Example

75% Cl -35

25% Cl -37

75 x 35 + 25 x 37

100

New cards
51

Anions

- negative charge

When non metals gain electron

New cards
52

Cations

+positively charged

Metals lose electrons

New cards
53

How much electrons do metals usually have on their outer shell

1, 2, or 3

New cards
54
