Q

What do isotopes have?

A

The same atomic number but different mass numbers

18
Q

What is an example of an isotope?

A

Carbon 12 and carbon 13

19
Q

What is the formula for the relative atomic mass?

A 
Relative atomic mass= 
Sum of (isotope abundance x isotope mass) / sum of abundances of all the isotopes
20
Q

What is the relative atomic mass?

A

It’s an average mass taking into account the different masses and abundances (amounts) of all the isotopes that make up the element

21
Q

What are compounds?

A

Compounds are a mixture of atoms or elements joined together

22
Q

What can compounds also be?

A

Substances formed from two or more elements, the atoms of each are in fixed proportions throughout the compound and held together by chemical bonds

23
Q

How are bonds made?

A

Bonds are made when atoms give away, take or share electrons

24
Q

What is an ionic compound?

A

An ionic compound is formed from a metal and a non metal which consists of ions. The metal ions lose electrons to form positive ions and the non metal ions gain electrons to form negative ions

25
Q

What is ionic bonding?

A

When opposite charges (positive and negative) of the ions that are strongly attached to each other

26
Q

What can metals form?

A

Positive ions

27
Q

What do metals have?

A

Metallic bonding

28
Q

What can transition metals have?

A
  • More than 1 ion
  • Often coloured
  • Compounds make good catalysts
29
Q

What are the group 1 elements?

A

Alkali metals

30
Q

What do group 1 all have?

A

1 electron in the outer shell making them very reactive

31
Q

What do group 1 elements not need much energy for?

A

Losing their 1 outer electron to form a full outer shell. Readily form 1+ ions

32
Q

What are group 7 elements known as?

A

Halogens

33
Q

What are the Halogens?

A

Non metals with coloured Vapour

34
Q

What happens as you go down group 7?

A

Become less reactive

35
Q

What do group 7 have?

A

High melting and boiling points and higher relative atomic masses

36
Q

How many electrons are in the outer shell of group 7?

A

7

37
Q

What are group 0 elements?

A

Noble gases

38
Q

How many electrons are in the outer shell of group 0?

A

8 electrons so make it a full outer shell

39
Q

In group 1, how many elements are formed?

A

1+ ions

40
Q

In group 2, how many elements are formed?

A

2+ ions

41
Q

In group 6, how many elements are formed?

A

2- ions

42
Q

In group 7, how many elements are formed?

A

1- ions
