booklet 1-the periodic table Flashcards
what is an atom
the smallest part of an element that can exist it cannot be divided
what is the radius of an atom
1x10-10
what does the nucleus contain
the subatomic particles of protons and neutrons
what charge does a nucleus have and why
positive as the protons have positive charge and neutrons have no charge
the nucleus is where almost all of the what is concentrated
all of the mass
what do the shells contain/hold
electrons
what charge do electrons have
negative -1
electrons have virtually no what
mass
mass of proton
1
charge of proton
+1
mass of neutron
1
charge of neutron
0
mass of electron
0
or
1/2000
charge of electron
-1
what charge does an atom have overall and why
no charge equal but opposite charges of protons and electrons balance out
what is an ion
a different form of the same element same number of protons and electrons different neutron number
why is the atom neutral
opposite and equal charges of the electrons and protons
what does the number of protons determine
what sort of atom it is
what is the mass number
protons and neutrons
what is the atomic number
proton number
is mass number top or bottom
top
what does the number of protons equal
the number of electrons
what is a molecule
two or more atoms chemically bonded together
what is a mixture
two or more elements or compounds chemically combined
how can mixtures be separated
filtration
evaporation
distillation
chromatography
what remains unchanged in a mixture
properties of a substance
what is the equation to work out atomic mass
mass number times amount plus mass number times amount over 100
what is the density of group one metals like
low density
