Electron shells
What is the mass and charge of a proton
Mass 1
Charge +1
What is the mass and charge of the neutron?
Mass 1
Charge 0
What is the mass and charge of an electron
Mass very small
Charge -1
What is the equation for relative atomic mass?
Sum of (isotope abundance x isotope mass number)
———————————————
Sum of abundances of all isotopes
What is an isotope?
An element with the same number of protons, but a different number of neutrons. They have the same atomic number, but different mass number
What is a compound?
A compound is when two or more elements are chemically joined
What are mixtures?
There are no chemical bonds, so the element is easy to separate
What is chromatography used for?
To separate out mixtures
What is filtration used for?
To separate solids from liquids
What is evaporation used for?
To separate a soluble salt from a solution; a quick way of separating out salt
What is crystallisation used for?
To separate a soluble salt from a solution, a slow method of separating out salt
What is the method for separating out salt from rock salt?
- Grind the mixture of rock salt.
- Add water and stir.
- Filter the mixture, leaving the sand in the filter paper.
- Evaporate the water from the salt, leaving the crystals.
What is simple distillation?
Separating a liquid from a solution
What is fractional distillation?
Separating out a mixture of liquids, fractional distillation can be used to separate out crude oil into fractions
Where on the periodic table are non-metals found
The right of the table
What is the traits of metals?
Strong, malleable, good conductors of electricity and heat. They bonded metallically
What are the traits of non-metals?
Dull, brittle, and not always solids at room temperature
What did John Dalton discover?
Atoms were first described as solid spheres
What did JJ Thompson discover and when?
- The plum pudding model - the atom is a bowl of charge with electron scattered.
What did Ernest Rutherford discover and when?
1909
Alpha scattering experiment mass concentrated at the centre. The nucleus is charged.
What did James Chadwick discover and when?
Around 1940
Discovered there are neutrons in the nucleus
What are the halogens?
Group 7 non-metals. As you go down the group, they become less reactive the melting and boiling points also become higher.
