Q

how are mixtures separated?

A

by physical processes such as filtration distillation
- don’t involve chemical reactions —->
so the elements and compounds don’t change (they are only separated from each other)

Q

what are protons neutrons and electrons? where are they found?

A

they subatomic particles
protons and neutrons found in nucleus
electrons found on energy shells

24
Q

what does subatomic mean?

A

inside an atom

25
Q

what is the equations for Relative atomic mass?

A

Ar = (% of isotope 1 x mass of isotope 1) + ( % of isotope 2 x mass of isotope 2)
all divided by 100

26
Q

what are isotopes?

A

atoms that have the same number of protons but different number of neutrons

27
Q

what are group 1 elements known as?

A

alkali metals

28
Q

what 3 properties of group 1 metals

A

soft, grey and shiny

29
Q

what are group 1 metals stored in?

A

oil because they would reactive with the oxygen in the air rapidly

30
Q

what happens when group 1 metals are placed in water?

A

they produce an alkali and hydrogen gas

31
Q

Are elements more/less reactive as you go down group 1?

A

more reactive

32
Q

why are elements more reactive as you go down group 1?

A

-the outer electron shell is further from the nucleus and more shielded by other shells
-the electrostatic force of attraction between the outer electron and nucleus is weaker
- easier for outer electron to be lost

33
Q

what ions does group 7 form?

A

1-

34
Q

are elements more or less reactive as you go down group 7?

A

less reactive

35
Q

why are elements less reactive as you go down group 7?

A
  1. there are more electron shells
  2. the outer shell if further from the nucleus
  3. the electrostatic forces of attraction between free electron and nucleus is weaker
  4. harder to attract an electron into the outer shell
36
Q

what are group 7 elements known as?

A

Halogens

37
Q

does the melting and boiling point increase or decrease as you go down group 7?

A

increase

38
Q

what do group 7 elements form when they reactive with other non-metal

A

covalent compounds

39
Q

what do group 7 elements form when they reactive with metals

A

ionic compounds

40
Q

is group 0 reactive or unreactive?

A

unreactive because they have have a full outer shell so don’t need to lose or gain electrons

41
Q

what happens to the boiling point as you go down group 0?

A

boiling point increases

42
Q

who created the Law of Octaves?

A

John Newlands

43
Q

what did John Newland order the periodic table by?

A

atomic weight

44
Q

who grouped metals and non-metals together?

A

John Newland

45
Q

what did Dimitri Mendeleev order the periodic table by?

A

atomic weight

46
Q

what is the modern periodic table ordered by?

A

atomic number

47
Q

what consisted of Dimitri Mendeleevs periodic table? 2

A

-left gaps for undiscovered elements
- predicted properties of undiscovered elements

48
Q

what did John Dalton discover? when?

A

At the start of the 19th century atoms were described as solid spheres

49
Q

who suggested the Plum Pudding model? when?

A

JJ Thomson in 1897

50
Q

what did Ernest Rutherford discover? when?

A
