Q

How can you separate two liquids from each other?

A

Distillation - heat the liquids in a flask until the one with the lower boiling point evaporates and then use a condenser to collect in a different container.

Q

How can you get salt crystals from salt water

A

Crystallisation - heat the salt water in an evaporating dish using a Bunsen burner. When the water starts to boil turn off the Bunsen burner and leave the water to evaporate

Q

What is an isotope?

A

An atom of the same element with a different number of neutrons

17
Q

How many electrons can the each shell hold?

A

1st shell = 2, 2nd, 3rd and 4th shell = 8

18
Q

What was the plum pudding model of the atom?

A

A sphere of positive charge with negative electrons inside (like plums in a plum pudding)

19
Q

What is the nuclear model of the atom?

A

A nucleus containing protons and neutrons and electrons in shells around the nucleus

20
Q

Why was the plum pudding model replaced?

A

Alpha particles (2 protons and 2 neutrons) were scattered by the positive nucleus of the atom.
