Description and Tags

Grade 9 Exam

23 Terms

1

Atom

the smallest thing to exist and the building blocks for everything

New cards
2

Nucleus

Center of an atom, positively charged

New cards
3

Orbitals/Shells

Surronds the nucleus, has electrons

New cards
4

Electron

Sub atomic particle, negatively charged,found in the orbitals

New cards
5

Proton

Sub atomic particle,positively charged,found in the nucleus

New cards
6

Neutrons

Sub atomic particle, no charge/neutral,found in the nucleus

New cards
7

Metals

solid,high density/melting point,malleable/ductile,good conductors, mixes to make alloys

New cards
8

Non-metal

exists in all 3 states,low density/melting point,brittle,insulators

New cards
9

Metalloids

properties of both metals and non-metals, semi-conduction,mostly solids,lusterous

New cards
10

Trend of the periods

The atoms get larger because they have more orbitals

New cards
11

Trend of the groups

The elements become less reactive from left to right because their outer shells are almost full or full

New cards
12

Chemical Properties

a characteristic of a particular substance that can be observed in a chemical reaction

New cards
13

Physical Properties

a characteristic of matter that is not associated with a change in its chemical composition (lusterous,solid,melting point)

New cards
14

Ancient Philosophers

Everything in the universe is made up of elements like fire,water,earth and wind - Before 400CE

New cards
15

Ancient Atomists

Atomas means “not to be cut” and parmanu means invisible grain, both refer to the smallest piece of matter. Atoms are uncuttable -400CE

New cards
16

John Dalton

Atoms are made up of a single material that is formed into different sizes and shapes. Atoms of different elements are different- 1803

J.J Thompson

There are small, negatively charged particles inside and atom called electrons. This theory led to the “plum pudding” model, in which negatively charged particles are stuck in a positively charged substance - 1897

Ernest Rutherford

Atoms contain mostly empty space. Most of an atom’s mass is the nucleus. The nucleus is positively charged. - 1908

New cards
19

Niels Bohr

Electrons are scattered around the nucleus at a distance. Electrons location depends on how much energy they have. - 1913

New cards
20

Alkali metals

Chemical Properties - very reactive with water and air

Physical Properties - Lusterous,malleable,ductile,conducts heat/electricity

New cards
21

Alkali earth metals

Chemical Properties- reacts with water and air, highly reactive

Physical Properties- good conductors,lustre when cut,low melting and boiling point,malleable,ductile

New cards
22

Halogens

Chemical Properties- Highly reactive, all oxidize

Physical Properties - Non-metals, noticeable colour,disenfectants

New cards
23

Nobel Gases

Chemical Properties - not reactive,don’t form compunds

Physical Properties - colourless,odorless,tasteless,glows brightly when electric currents pass through them
