Q

describe 4 differences between the nuclear model and plum pudding model?

A

-plum pudding model has no nucleus
-in the ppm the mass was evenly distributed but in the nm its concentrated in the middle
-most of the nm is space but in the ppm there are no spaces
-in the ppm electrons are randomly plotted around but in the nm they are around the positive nucleus

Q

explain why sodium is more reactive than lithium

A

-sodium has more shells/its a bigger atom
-weaker force of attraction between outer electron and positive nucleus
-makes the outer electron easier to lose

Q

explain why sodium oxide has a high melting point

A
  • sodium oxide has a giant ionic structure
  • have strong electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions
  • requires a lot of energy to break
28
Q

give one limitation to using a dot and cross diagrams

A

doesn’t show the shape/ only two diminsional

29
Q

give one limitation to using a dot and cross diagrams

A

doesn’t show the shape/ only two dimensional

30
Q

define isotope

A

an atom of the same element that has the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons

31
Q

what is the formula to find the relative atomic mass of an element with different isotopes?

A

(mass number x percentage) of isotope 1 +(mass number x percentage) of isotope 2 / 100

32
Q

give the charge of a proton

A

positive charge +1

33
Q

give the charge of a neutron

A

neutral charge 0

34
Q

36
Q

what is the relative mass of a neutron?

A

1 m u (atomic mass units)

37
Q

what is the relative mass of a electron?

A

1/2000 m u (atomic mass units)

38
Q

how are the elements in the parodic table arranged?

A

atomic number / number of protons

39
Q

how are elements with similar properties place in the periodic table?

A

they are placed in groups

40
Q

how did Newlands order his perodic table?

A

by their atomic weight

41
Q

what were the ‘groups’ Newlands ordered his table called?

A

octaves

42
Q

how did Mendeleev order his periodic table?

A

by their atomic weight

43
Q

what are the 2 main differences between Newlands and Mendeleev’s periodic table?

A

1) M predicted elements that hadn’t been discovered yet and left gaps for these undiscovered elements
2) M altered the strict order of atomic weight so their properties could match

44
Q

why are the noble gases unreactive?

A

because they already have full outer shells

45
Q

why was Mendeleev’s table accepted?

A

elements he predicted were discovered and their properties matched his predictions

46
Q

State two key things that Mendeleev did that no one had done before that made his Table work?

A
  • left gaps for elements he believed were yet to be discovered
  • changed from weight order for some elements to put them in groups with elements with similar properties
47
Q

Describe metallic bonding

A

attraction between nucleus of metal atoms in a lattice to the cloud of delocalised outer shell electrons

48
Q

Explain why sodium is soft

A

atoms all the same sizecan slide over each other while maintaining metallic bonding

49
Q

Explain why bromine has a low boiling point

A

weak forces between molecules

50
Q

Sodium reacts with bromine to form sodium bromide. Explain why this reaction takes place in terms of electrons

A

electrons transferred from sodium atoms to bromine atomsin order for all atoms toget stable electron structures of group 0 atoms

51
Q

Explain why sodium bromide has a high melting point

A

strong attraction between positive and negative ions

52
Q

*react with non-metals to form ionic compounds
*form basic oxides

54

give 2 differences in chemical properties between group 1 metals and transition metals

A

*K is (much) more reactive

55
Q

give 2 differneces in physical properties between group 1 metals and transition metals

A

*Cu has (much) higher melting point
*Cu has (much) higher density

56
Q

A

distillation

57
Q

What method would you use to separate ethanol from a mixture of water and ethanol (they are miscible liquids)

A

fractional distillation

58
Q

What method would you use to separate water from a mixture of hexane and water (they are immiscible liquids)

separating funnel

59
Q

What method would you use to separate iron filings from a mixture of iron filings with water

A

filtration

60
Q

what can we separate?

A

mixtures

61
Q

what does chromatography separate?

A

solid from another soluble solid

62
Q

what does filtration separate?

A

insoluble solids from a solution

63
Q

what does distillation separate?

A

soluble solute from a solution

64
Q

what does evaporations separate?

A

soluble solute from a solution

65
Q

what is the difference between the reason why you sometimes use evaporation to separate and distillation to separate?

A

sometime you need to collect the solvent itself instead of it just evaporating off

66
Q

how is simple distillation different to fractional distillation?

A

SD separates substances with greater difference between boiling points
FD separates substances with boiling points that are closer to each other

67
Q

Lithium, sodium and potassium are all in group 1 of the periodic table. Which of these has the lowest boiling point?

A

The melting points of the group 1 metals decrease as you go down the group.
