C1 Flashcards
What is an element
All atoms are the same
How many elements are in the periodic table
100
What does each element represent
Different atoms with different symbols
What is a compound
Two or more elements chemically combined in a fixed proportion
What do we do to break compounds back into elements
We use chemical reaction
Different elements or compounds NOT chemically combined together
Mixtures
If we want to separate a ——- then we use physical techniques
Mixture
What physical techniques do we use to separate a mixture
Filtration crystallisation,distillation
Define molecule
Any elements chemically joined,can be same element unlike compound which needs different ones
What is an atom
Smallest part of an element, no overall electrical charge,all substances are made of atoms
Radius of an atom
0.1nm
What are physical separation techniques used for
Mixtures
What can physical techniques not be used to separate and why?
Elements in a compound because they are chemically combined in a fixed proportion
What is filtration
Used to separate insoluble solid from liquid
What is crystallisation
Used to separate soluble solid from liquid
What is simple distillation
Used to separate liquid from solid if we want to keep liquid
What is fractional distillation
Allows us to separate 2 different liquids
What is chromatography
Physical process used to separate mixtures
What does chromatography work
Because each chemical in mixture is attracted to the stationary phase to a different extent
What are atoms not
Divisible
Who invented the plumb pudding model
JJ Thompson
What does the plum pudding model show
An atom is a ball of positive charge with negative electrons embedded in it. Was WRONG!
Who did the alpha scattering experiment
Rutherford
Why did Rutherford experiment using a piece of gold foil
Can be hammered down to be a few atoms thick
Results from alpha scattering experiment (3 marks)
- most alpha particles went straight through the gold atoms
-some deflected (changed direction)
-bounced straight back
Most alpha particles went straight through gold atoms. Why?
Atoms are mainly empty space
Some alpha particles defelcted. Why?
Centre of atom must have positive charge- alpha particles close to this repell/ change direction
Alpha particles bounced straight back. Why?
Centre of atom must contain great deal of mass- now call this a nucleus
What did James chadwick discover
Nucleus also contained neutral particles called neutrons
Example of substance that you can filter
Silver chloride + water
AgCl= solid
H20= liquid
Example of substance you can crystallise
Sodium chloride + water
NaCl = aqueous- forms crystals
H20= water- evaporates
Equipment needed for filtration
Filter paper
Filter funnel
Beaker
Equipment needed for crystallisation
Beaker
Evaporating basin
Bunsen burner- if u wish to heat substance- don’t over heat otherwise compounds will start to break down
How does simple distillation work
- First evaporate liquid by heating
- we then condense water by cooling
Can fractional distillation work if liquids have same m.p/ b.p
No, otherwise we won’t be able to collect pure form
What is fractional distillation used for
To purify larger volumes of liquid e.g. crude oil- requires different equipment but principle is same
How do you know if a chemical is pure in chromatography?
Will produce a single spot in all solvents
What chemicals will move further up chromatography paper?
Chemicals that are weakley attracted to stationary phase
Why do we draw a line in pencil on chromatography paper
It’s insoluble
What is the solvent called in chromatography
Mobile phase because it doesn’t move
Soluble meanning
Can dissolve in water
Insoluble meanning
Can’t dissolve in water
Solute meanning
Dissolved in solvent
Solvent meaning
Dissolves solute resulting in solution
What’s the nuclear model (3)
- negative electrons around the edge
- tiny positive nucleus
- empty space
What was Niels Bohr model
- belived electrons orbited nucleus at specific distance (now call this orbit or energy levels/shells)
- several years later discovered protons- positive charge in nucleus
What was the final version of nuclear model
- atoms have no overall charge because number of electrons is the same as number of protons
What is radius of nucleus
1 x 10 ^ -14
Relative charge and mass of protons
Charge= +1
Mass= 1
Relative charge and mass of neutrons
Charge= 0
Mass= 1
Relative charge and mass of electrons
Charge= -1
Mass= very small
How does energy progress through the outer shells
shell- further away from nucleus= higher energy
What charge does the nucleus overall have
Positive because of protons
