Atomic Structure And The Perodic Table Flashcards
Periodic table
All elements in a group have similar chemical properties
This is because all the elements in a group have the same number of electrons in their outer shell
In an element are all the atoms the Same
Yes
Compound
Compounds contain two or more different elements chemically combined in a fixed proportion
Do compounds usually have the same properties to the elements that they are made from
No they usually have totally different properties
How do you separate a compound to get back the original elements
With a chemical reaction
Mixture
In a mixture, we have different elements or compounds not chemically combined together
How can you separate a mixture
Physical techniques e.g. Filtration, crystallisation
Molecules
Has any elements chemically joined
What does the little number mean next to an element symbol e.g. O(4)
That there are multiples of that element e.g. O(4) = 4 oxygens
Specific compound
The number of atoms of each element is fixed
Name 4 physical separation techniques
Filtration
Crystallisation
Distillation
Chromatography
What is a Physical separation technique
Used to separate mixtures
Can’t be used to separate elements in a compound
Filtration
Used to separate an insoluble solid from a liquid
Crystallisation
Used to separate a soluble solid from a liquid
Simple distillation
Used to separate a liquid from a solid if we want to keep the liquid
