Q

Ionic bonding

A

Metal atoms lose electrons to form positive ions and non-metal atoms gain electrons to form negative ions. The opposite charges of the ions mean that they are strongly attracted to each other and cancel each other out (neutral)

37
Q

When can filtration be used?

A

Of your product is an insoluble solid that needs to be separated from a liquid reaction mixture. It can also be used in purification as well

38
Q

Insoluble meaning

A

Cannot be dissolved into the liquid

39
Q

Evaporation separation technique

A

If a solid can be dissolved it’s soluble, so you can slowly heat the solution and the solvent will evaporate from the solution. Thus the solution will become more concentrated and crystals will start to form. What is left are dry crystals

40
Q

Crystallisation separation technique

A

Gently heat the solution and some of the solvent will evaporate and gets more concentrated. Once some of the solvent has evaporated, remove the dish and let it cool and the salts should start to form crystals as it becomes insoluble in the cold

41
Q

What can filtration and crystallisation be used for?

A

To separate rock salt

42
Q

What is distillation used for?

A

Separating a liquid from a solution

43
Q

How to distil a solution

A

Heat the solution and the part of the solution that has the lowest boiling point evaporates first, which is then cooled, condensed and collected. The rest of the solution is left behind in the flask.

44
Q

Fractional distillation

A

Used to separate a mixture of liquids

45
Q

How to fractionally distil a mixture of liquids

A

Put mixture in flask and stick a fractionating column. Different liquids will have different boiling points, so they will evaporate at different rates.

46
Q

First theory of the Atom (John Dalton)

A

Described atoms as solid spheres and said that different spheres made up the different elements (Plum Pudding Model)

47
Q

J J Thomson (Atom)

A

in 1897, he concluded that atoms weren’t solid spheres and measure the charge and mass which showed that an atom must contain even smaller negatively charged particles (electrons)

48
Q

What did the Plum Pudding model show?

A

An atom as a ball of positive charge with electrons stuck in it

49
Q

Ernest Rutherford (Atom)

A

Famous alpha particle scattering experiments. They fired positively charged alpha particles at an extremely thin sheet of gold. From the plum pudding model, they expected the particles to pass straight through or be slightly deflected. Most did go through but some deflected more than expecte.d, and some even backwards. This disproved the plum pudding model

50
Q

Rutherford’s Nuclear model

A

Tiny positively charged nucleus at the centre, where most of the mass is concentrated. A ‘cloud’ of electrons surround the nucleus, which meant most of the atom was empty space

51
Q

Bohr’s Nuclear Model

A

Bohr proposed that electrons orbit the nucleus in fixed shells and aren’t anywhere in between which is a fixed distance from the nucleus. Rutherford’s model was most wrong because then the atom would collapse.

52
Q

Proof of existence of protons

A

Rutherford and others showed that the nucleus can be divided into smaller particles, which have the same charge as the hydrogen nucleus

53
Q

Proof of existence of neutrons

A

20 years after the idea of nuclei, James Chadwick carried out an experiment which provided evidence for neutral particles in the nucleus

54
Q

Electron shell rules

A
  • Electrons always occupy shells
  • Lowest energy levels are always first
  • Only a certain number of electrons are allowed in each shell (1: 2, 2: 8, 3: 8)
  • Atoms are more stable when they have full electron shells
  • Most atoms want to react because it’s outer shell is not full
55
Q

Electronic structure

A

How many electrons in each shell, e.g. Calcium

2, 8, 8, 2; proton number = 20

56
Q

In the 1800s, how was the periodic table sorted?

A

They were sorted from these:

  • Physical and chemical properties
  • Atomic weight

Because of this, they were sorted in the order of atomic weight and a periodic pattern was noticed in the properties of the elements. Early periodic tables were not complete and some elements were placed in the wrong group. This happened because they were placed in the order of atomic weight and did not take into account their properties.

57
Q

Dmitri Mendeleev

A

In 1869, he put 50 known elements and arranged them into his Table of Elements. He mainly put them in order of atomic weight, but did switch that order if the properties meant it should be changed. Gaps were left in the table made sure that elements with similar properties stayed in the same groups. When they found them, it fitted the pattern and confirmed Mendeleev’s ideas.

58
Q

How many elements are there

A

Over 100 elements

59
Q

How are elements arranged in the periodic table

A

In the order of increasing atomic number

60
Q

Columns

A

Elements with similar properties (horizontal)

61
Q

Groups

A

Vertical columns

62
Q

What does the group number tell you?

A

How many electrons there are in the outer shell

63
Q

What are the rows called?

A

Periods

64
Q

Metal Fact

A

Most elements are metals

65
Q

What are metals?

A

Elements which can form positive ions when they react.

66
Q

Non metals

A

Don’t generally form positive ions

67
Q

How an atom’s electronic structure affect how they will react?

A

Metals towards the left are more reactive but they have less electrons to lose. For non-metals, forming positive ions is much more difficult as they are either to the right of the periodic table. Instead they need to gain an electron

68
Q

Metal Properties

A

Metallic bonding which causes them to have similar physical properties.

  • Strong (hard to break)
  • Can be bent or hammered
  • Great at conducting heat and electricity
  • High boiling and melting points
69
Q

Non-metal properties

A

Don’t have metallic bonding

  • More brittle
  • Dull looking
  • Generally can’t conduct electricity
  • Lower density
70
Q

Group 1 metals

A

Alkalis (lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, caesium and francium)

71
Q

Group 1 metal similarities

A

Very reactive, soft, low density, 1 electron in their outer shell

72
Q

Properties as you go down Group 1

A
  • Increasing reactivity
  • Lower melting and boiling points
  • Higher relative atomic mass
73
Q

What do Alkali metals form when they react with Non-Metals?

A

74
Q

Ionic compound properties

A

Generally white solids that dissolve in water to form colourless solutions

75
Q

What happens when you react Water with Alkalis?

A
  • Produce hydrogen gas
  • React very vigorously
  • As you go down the group the more violent the reaction
  • Lithium, sodium and potassium float and move around the surface, fizzing furiously
  • Potassium and below is enough to ignite the hydrogen
  • Form hydroxides that dissolve in water to give alkaline solutions
76

What do halogens and metals form?

A

Q

What happens when more reactive halogens react with less reactive ones?

A

Higher reactive halogens will displace less reactive ones

88
Q

89
Q

Noble gasses properties

A
  • Full set (8) of outer electrons apart form Helium (2). As they are stable, they don’t give up or gain electrons to become more stable (Inert).
  • Exist as monatomic gases (single atoms not bonded to each other)
  • All elements in group 0 are colourless gases at room temperature
  • Non flammable
90
Q

As you go down the noble gasses…

A

Boiling points increase

91
Q

Why do boiling points increase the further down you go noble gasses?

A

They have more electrons which lead to a greater intermolecular force between them which need to be overcome.
