Q

Is hydrogen a metal or non metal?

A

Hydrogen is a metal. A metal must conduct heat and electricity, which solid hydrogen does. The properties of metals like malleability are just coincidence

Q

With open containers, why does it sometimes look like the law of conservation of mass is broken?

A

With gases, the carbon dioxide formed will escape or oxygen will enter. When gas escapes, the law is kept because oxygen will react with the metal to keep the weight the same

25
How to calculate the relative atomic mass using isotopes
Multiply percentage by mass, add and the divide by 100
26
What are the columns in the periodic table called?
Groups
27
What does the symbol of an element show?
One atom of that element
28
What do chemical equations show?
The reactants and the products
29
What happens in a chemical reaction?
The atoms in the reactants get rearranged into the products
30
What is an aqueous solution?
A substance that has been dissolved in water
31
Process of filtration
Pour the mixture through a filter funnel
32
Process of evaporation
Heat the solution with a Bunsen burner | Keep heating until all the liquid has gone and you are left with dry crystals
33
Process of crystallisation
``` Gently heat the solution Once some of the liquid has evaporated, stop heating Leave the solution to cool Now more crystals will form Filter the crystals out and you're done ```
34
Process of chromatography
Draw a pencil line on the paper Place blobs of your ink Place it in water so the ink isn't touching the liquid The solvent will move up the paper and carry the ink
35
When to use simple distillation?
When you want to separate a liquid from a solution
36
Process of simple distillation
The solution is heated to evaporate the part of it with the lowest boiling point first This vapour is cooled, condensed and collected
37
When to use fractional distillation
When you have a mixture of liquids with similar boiling points
38
Process or fractional distillation
You heat your mixture until it reaches the boiling point of the first liquid This liquid evaporates first It reaches the top of the column, runs down the tubs and is collected You repeat this with higher temperatures
39
What did John Dalton suggest
Atoms were tiny, hard spheres
40
Who discovered the electron?
J J Thompson
41
Who discovered the nucleus and how?
Geiger and Marsden | Fired atoms at gold foil and some rebounded (they bounced off the electrons)
42
Who discovered that electrons were in shells?
Niels Bohr
43
Who found there were neutrons in the nucleus?
James Chadwick
44
Charge of proton
1+
45
Mass of proton
1+
46
Charge of neutron
0
47
Mass of neutron
1
48
Charge of electron
-1
49
Mass of electron
Very small
50
What is the mass number?
The mass of the nucleus
51
What is the atomic number?
The number of electrons or protons
52
When an atom gains electrons what is the charge on the ion?
-
53
When an atom loses electrons what is the charge on the ion
+
54
Why will isotopes of the same element have the same chemical properties?
Their chemical properties depends on their electronic structure
55
How to write the electronic structure
Number of electrons in first she'll, followed by second, third, etc Eg 2,8,4
56
What determines how an element reacts
Electrons in outer shell
57
What experiment did JJ Thomson do and how did this lead to him finding the electron?
He found that the mysterious particle was attracted to a positive charge, showing they must be negatively charged
58
What was Bohr's experiment?
he noticed light was given out when electrons were heated - they were moving between energy levels
59
What was Geiger and Marsden's experiment?
They fired alpha particles at gold foil. Due to the current model of the atom, which was the plum pudding one,they expected most of the particles to pass straight through. The positive alpha particles were deflected by the negative electrons however
60
Why is it impossible to predict the mass of crystals that can be obtained during crystallisation?
Mixtures have no fixed composition
