33
Q

What type of mixture is separated in evaporation?

A

• solute from a solution

34
Q

What type of substance/mixture is separated in simple distillation?

A

In simple distillation, it separates 2 liquids with different boiling points. (can also separate a solute from a solvent when the solvent has a lower b.p)

35
Q

What type of substance/mixture is separated in fractional distillation?

A

Mixture of miscible liquids (lots of liquids with different boiling points)

36
Q

What type of mixture is separated with a separating funnel?

A

Mixture of immiscible liquids

37
Q

What type of mixture is separated in chromatography?

A

Mixture of soluble solids

38

47
Q

Properties of transition metals?

A

Have ions with different charges, useful as catalysts, form coloured compounds, not very reactive, high melting points, strong and hard

48
Q

How are elements in the periodic table arranged today?

A

Atomic number

49
Q

Before discovery of sub atomic particles, how was the periodic table arranged?

A

Atomic mass

50
Q

What were the early problems with the periodic table?

A

Not many elements discovered, atomic weights were inaccurate, no gaps left for unknowns, not every element followed the pattern

51
Q

How did Mendeleev overcome each problem with his periodic table?

A

Followed the pattern, left spaces for new elements (and predicted unknowns)

52
Q

What happened for scientists to believe Mendeleev’s theory?

A

Discovered a new element that fitted his prediction

53
Q

How did Newlands contribute to the making of the periodic table?

A
  • John Newlands was the first chemist to devise a periodic table.
  • Newlands’ periodic table was ordered by the mass of the element.
  • But, the table was incomplete and some elements were placed in inappropriate groups.
54
Q

How did Mendeleev contribute to the making of the periodic table?

A

-Dmitri Mendleev

55
Q

What are group 0 elements known as?

A

noble gases

56
Q

58
Q

What are the properties of group 1 metals?

A
  • more reactive than transition metals, react more vigorously with water, oxygen or group 7 elements
  • less dense, strong, hard and lower melting points than transition metals
59
Q

what do alkali metals form when they react with non-metals?

A

ionic compounds

60
Q

what compounds do halogens form when they react with non-metals?

A
