Q

Why are atoms neutral?

A

The number of protons is equal to the number of electrons and the charge cancels out

Q

Who made the first periodic table?

A

Dmitri Mendeleev

17
Q

How did Mendeleev arrange the elements?

A

Sorted them based on their properties and put them in columns
Some element weren’t in the correct column due to him having wrong isotopes

18
Q

Groups

A

Columns of elements with similar properties

Have the same outer shell electrons

19
Q

Period

A

Another full outer shell is added to each element descending

20
Q

Electron shell rules

A

Electrons always occupy shells
Lowest energy levels are always filled first
Only certain amount of electrons are allowed in each shell (2882)

21
Q

Definition of ion

A

Atom that has lost or gained electrons

They have charge

22
Q

Anion

A

Negative ion

23
Q

Cation

A

Positive ion

24
Q

Groups most likely to become ion and why

A

1, 2, 6, 7

They are closer to getting a fuller outer shell than other groups

25
Q

How do you form the formula of an ionic compound?

A

Find the charges of the ions in the compound

The amount of each ion is the other’s charge

26
Q

Between what elements does ionic bonding take place?

A

Metals and non-metals

27
Q

Ionic bonding method

A
  • metal atom loses an electron and donates it to non-metal atom
  • this makes the metal a cation and the non-metal an anion
  • due to electrostatic forces of attraction, they are strongly attracted to each other as they are opposite charges
28
Q

Ionic compounds properties

A

Regular lattice structure (due to ESFA)
High MP and BP (due to ESFA)
Only conducts electricity when dissolved / molten as free-flowing charged particles are present
Many dissolve easily

29
Q

Adv and disadv of 2D models

A

Simple
Shows what atoms are present
Shows how atoms are connected

Don’t show shape or substance nor sizes of atoms

30
Q

Adv and disadv of dot and cross diagrams

A

Shows how compounds / molecules are formed
Shows where electrons in bonds / ions come from

Don’t show size of atoms
Don’t show how they are arranged

31
Q

Adv and disadv of 3D models

A

Good for visualising structures
More realistic than 2D

Don’t show correct scales of atoms or ions

32
Q

Covalent bond

A

Strong bond formed when pair of electrons is shared between two atoms

33
Q

Simple molecular substances

A

Molecules containing a few atoms

34
Q

Properties of simple molecular substances

A
  • very strong covalent bonds but week forces of attraction between molecules
  • low MP and BP
  • most are gases or liquids in room temperature
  • no electric conductivity
  • the larger the molecule, the strong the intermolecular bonds
35
Q

Polymers

A

Molecules made up of long chains of covalently-bonded atoms

Formed by monomers
