Q

What is a chemical change

A

Chemical change is any change that results in the formation of a new chemical substance. At the molecular level, it involved making or breaking bonds between atoms. This change is normally irreversible

Q

What is a physical change

A

Physical change is any change that does not alter the substance’s chemical composition. A common example would be the change in states. Solid → Liquid etc. This change is reversible

Q

Limitations of the particle model

A

Size

The size of particles vary in size a lot which is not properly shown in the particle model. For example a Helium atom is 62 pm, while a Lanthanum atom is 202pm. This is not shown properly in a particle model

Space between particles

The distance between atoms is not showing properly in the particle model. It is often shown as very close together in the model. However, in reality it is the opposite. The gap between helium atoms is 55x larger than the actual Helium atom.

Forces between atoms

There are forces between particles but this is not shown in the particle model

Q

What is an atomic mass unit

A

An Atom Mass Unit (AMU) is 1/12th mass of 1 atom carbon-12

All the mass in the atom is in the nucleus. Atomic Mass = Proton + Neutron

Atoms are neutral so there has to be the same no. of protons and electrons as protons have +1 and electrons have -1 so they have to balance out

Q

What does the image of a particle tell us in the periodic table

A

Atomic mass shows the amount of protons + neutrons added. This is the bigger of the two numbers.

Atomic number shows the no. of protons and electrons. This is the smaller of the two numbers

For Helium. Atomic number is 2 so there are 2 protons and 2 electrons. To find the neutrons. We know there are 2 protons. And the atomic mass is 4.
4 - 2 is 2. 2 neutrons

Q

What are isotopes

A

Isotopes are atoms of an element with different numbers of neutrons.

Seen like this →35C, 37C
These are two different types of isotopes
Isotopes have the same number of protons and electrons.
Isotopes have a different number of neutrons
THe atomic number is the same
The mass number is different
Isotopes of the same element have similar chemical properties chemical properties
This means they react similarly to each other
They have different physical properties - Usually higher melting and boiling points
Usually higher densities
Isotopes sometimes may only be described by their mass number as this is the difference between them eg : Lithium-6,Lithium-7,Lithium-8

17
Q

What are ions

A

Ions are atoms that has gained or lost electrons to become positively or negatively charged

Neutral atoms -
Positive Ions - Na+, Mg2+, Al3+
Negative Ions - F-, O2-

For example, If we take Na+. The charge is 1+, meaning that an electron is lost. If the charge was 1-, this would mean an electron has been gained
Note : The number of protons never change it is always the number of electrons that change so if we have more electrons we get negative charge but less electrons we get positive charge

18
Q

What is the atomic mass

A

Atomic mass shows the amount of protons + neutrons added. This is the bigger of the two numbers.

19
Q

What is the atomic number

A

Atomic number shows the no. of protons and electrons. This is the smaller of the two numbers

20
Q

What is the only atom that doesnt want 8 electrons

A

Helium

21
Q

Explain the Molymod kits

A

Carbon - black, oxygen - red, hydrogen - white, sulphur - yellow, nitrogen - blue, single covalent bond - a goofy grey thing

22
Q

What did the ancient greeks discover about the atomic model

A

They used the term atom first. Democritus was the philospher

23
Q

What did John Dalton discover about the atomic model

A

Discoveries made:
Atoms can not be broken down
Atoms of an element are identical to each other
Atoms of different elements are not identical
Elements have their own type of atom. Atoms are spheres

24
Q

What did JJ thompson discover about the atomic model

A

Discoveries made:
Electrons

He was experimenting with Cathode ray tubes, and ending up finding the existence of electrons. A new model was proposed because of his new discovery of positive and negatively charged particles. He made the famous Plum Pudding model

25
Q

What discoveries did Rutherford made about the atomic model

A

Discoveries made:
Gold leaf experiment
He found the idea of the positive small centre and a large electrically charged area around it
Atoms must be mainly empty space
There must be negatively charged particles around the area
There must be something dense and positively charged, meaning the nucleus
When he fired radioactive alpha particles at the gold leaf, he found that the particles would do one of 3 things
The particle went through
The particle went slightly off track
They bounced back

26
Q

What did Bohr discover about the atomic model

A

Discoveries made:
The shell

He figured if the electrons were placed anywhere in the atom then eventually the electrons would crash into the nucleus. Therefore, discovering the existence of the shell
