26
Q

What are all substances made from?

A

Atoms

27
Q

Does separating a mixture involve a chemical reaction? Explain.

A

No, it doesn’t involve a chemical reaction because no chemical bonds are being made or broken.

28
Q

Who discovered neutrons?

A

James Chadwick

29
Q

What does the Dalton Model of the atom look like?

A

A sphere that can’t be made any smaller

30
Q

Why are atoms neutral?

A

They have the same number of protons as electrons.

31
Q

What is the charge of a neutron?

A

Neutral or No Charge

32
Q

Which subatomic particle can tell us the identity of an atom?

A

The number of protons

33
Q

What is involved in a chemical reaction?

A

The formation of one or more new substances and an energy change.

34
Q

What came after the discovery of electron shells?

A

The discovery of protons, that the nucleus wasn’t one big positive charge, but many smaller posive charges.

35
Q

What did the gold foil experiment (alpha particle scattering) prove?

A

That atoms have nucleuses with a positive charge.

36
Q

What is the relative mass of a proton?

A

1

37
Q

What is an atom?

A

The smallest part of an element that can exist.

44
Q

How many electrons can fit in the second energy level?

A

8

45
Q

How do we figure out how many neutrons there are in an atom?

A

Mass number - atomic number

46
Q

Who discovered electron shells?

A

Neils Bohr

47
Q

What is a molecule?

A

A substance made of more than one atom chemically bonded together.

48
Q

What are the 2 numbers you see on the periodic table for each element?

A

The atomic number (smaller) and the mass number (bigger)

49
Q

What does the atomic number tell us about the atom?

A

The number of protons in the atom

50
Q

What is a substance made from two or more different atoms chemically bonded together?

A

A compound.
