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
