C1 atomic structure Flashcards
elements
contain only one type of atom
compound
contain two or more elements chemically bonded together
law of conservation of mass
total mass of products formed in a reaction is equal to the total mass of the reactants
mixture
two or more substances that are not chemically combined
fractional distillation
separates miscible liquids
uses a fractionating column
possible due to the different boiling points of liquids in the mixture
paper chromatography
separates mixtures of substances dissolved in a solvent
due to the different solubilities in the solvent used
protons
relative charge of +1
relative mass 1
neutrons
rel charge 0
rel mas 1
electrons
rel charge -1
rel mass almost 0
atomic number
number of protons
(number of electrons)
mass number
number of protons + number of neutrons
isotope
atom of the same element with different number of neutrons .
chemical properties same
physical properties can change
energy shells
2,8,8
number of electrons in outer shell determine how element reacts
