Atomic Structure & The Periodic Table Flashcards
How do you calculate relative atomic mass (Ar)?
(Isotope abundance x Isotope mass number) divided by sum of abundances of all the Isotopes
What are compounds?
Substances formed from two or more elements, the atoms of each are in fixed proportions held together by chemical bonds.
What is an isotope?
A different form of the same element which have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons.
Name two methods that a picture can be separated into its compounds and elements.
-Filtration
-Crystallisation
-Simple Distillation
-Fractional Distillation
-Chromatography
Why must you use a pencil during Chromatography?
Pencil marks are insoluble and won’t dissolve in the solvent.
Isotopes have the same Atomic or Mass Number?
Atomic number is the same, Mass number is different.
Define what an element is.
A substance only containing atoms with the same number of protons.
What will happen if any of the dyes in the ink are insoluble in the solvent?
They will stay on the baseline.
