The atomic number tells you…
How many protons there are.
The mass number tells you…
The total number of protons and neutrons in the atom
Which number is the mass number?

What is an ion?
An ion is an atom or group of atoms that has lost or gained electrons.
What is an element?
An element is a substance made up of atoms that all have the same number of protons in their nucleus.
Relative atomic mass=
sum of (isotope abundance × isotope mass number)
——————————————————————
sum of abundance of all the isotopes
What is a compound?
A chemical compound is a chemical substance composed of many identical molecules containing atoms from more than one chemical element held together by chemical bonds.
Rules about balancing equations:
1) the same number of atoms on both sides.
2)balance it by putting numbers in front when needed.
What are mixtures?
A mixture is a material made up of two or more different chemical substances which can be separated by physical method.
Practical
(Paper Chromatography)
Method
1) draw a pencil line across the chromatography paper, 1 - 2 cm from the bottom
2) use a pipette or capillary tube to add small spots of each ink to the line on the paper
3) place the paper into a container with a suitable solvent in the bottom
4) allow the solvent to move through the paper, but remove the
chromatogram
before it reaches the top
5) allow the chromatogram to dry, then measure the distance travelled by each spot and by the solvent
Practical
(Separation techniques)
Copper sulphate
Filtration is a method for separating an insoluble solid from a liquid. When a mixture of sand and water is filtered:
the sand stays behind in the filter paper (it becomes the residue)
the water passes through the filter paper (it becomes the filtrate)
Evaporation is used to separate a soluble solid from a liquid. For example, copper sulfate is soluble in water – its crystals dissolve in water to form copper
All the water has evaporated, leaving solid crystals behind.
