Q

What is the nuclear model?

A

There is a tiny positive positively charged nucleus in the centre, where most of the mass is concentrated. A ‘cloud’ of negative electrons surrounds this nucleus- so most of the atom is empty space .

Q

What are five electron rules?

A

-Electrons always occupy shells (sometimes called energy levels)
-The lowest energy levels are always filled first - these are the ones closest to the nucleus
-Only a certain number of electrons are allowed in each cell:
1st shell: 2 2nd shell: 8 3rd shell: 8
-Atoms are much happier when they have full electron shells- like the noble gases
-In most atoms, the outer shell is not full and this makes the atom want to react to fill it

182
Q

Why does the boiling point go up as you go down noble gasses?

Due to an increase in the number of electrons in each atom leading to greater intermolecular forces between which need to overcome. There’s more on intermolecular forces for small molecules

combined together; it does have the same chemical properties

188
Q

can be separated (there are five)? Do these
involve chemical reactions

A

Filtration, crystallisation, simple distillation, fractional distillation and
chromatography; they do not involve chemical reactions

189
Q

Describe and explain simple distillation

A

Simple distillation is used to separate liquid from a solution – the liquid
boils off and condenses in the condenser. The thermometer will read the
boiling point of the pure liquid. Contrary to evaporation, we get to keep the
liquid.

190
Q

Describe and explain crystallisation/evaporation

A

Evaporation is a technique for separation of a solid dissolved in a solvent from a
solvent (e.g. salt from H2O).
The solution is heated until all the solvent evaporates; the solids stays in the vessel.
Crystallisation is similar, but we only remove some of the solvent by evaporation to
form a saturated solution (the one where no more solid can be dissolved). Then,
we cool down the solution. As we do it, the solid starts to crystallise, as it becomes
less soluble at lower temperatures. The crystals can be collected and separated
from the solvent via filtration.

191
Q

Describe and explain fractional distillation

A

Fractional distillation is a technique for separation of a mixture of liquids.
It works when liquids have different boiling points.
The apparatus is similar to the one of simple distillation apparatus, with the
additional fractionating column placed on top of the heated flask.
The fractionating column contains glass beads. It helps to separate the compounds.
In industry, mixtures are repeatedly condensed and vapourised. The column is hot at
the bottom and cold at the top. The liquids will condense at different heights of the

192
Q

Describe and explain filtration

A

Filtration is used to separate an insoluble solid is suspended in a liquid.
The insoluble solid (called a residue) gets caught in the filter paper,
because the particles are too big to fit through the holes in the paper.
The filtrate is the substance that comes through the filter paper.
Apparatus: filter paper + funnel.

193
Q

Describe and explain chromatography

A

Chromatography is used to separate a mixture of substances dissolved in a solvent.
In paper chromatography, we place a piece of paper with a spot containing a mixture
in a beaker with some solvent. The bottom of the paper has to be in contact with
the solvent. The solvent level will slowly start to rise, thus separating the spot
(mixture) into few spots (components).

194
Q

What is a separating funnel?

A

A separatory funnel is an apparatus for separating immiscible liquids.
Two immiscible liquids of different densities will form two distinct layers in
the separatory funnel.
We can run off the bottom layer (the liquid with greater density) to a
separate vessel.

195
Q

Describe the plum-pudding model

A

The atom is a ball of positive charge with negative electron embedded in
it.

196
Q

Describe the Bohr/nuclear model and how it

212
Q

What are ions

A

Ions are charged particles. They are formed when atoms lose electrons
(positive ions) or gain (negative ions) electrons.
E.g. sodium positive ion, Na+
, has an electronic configuration of 2,8 (same
as Ne). An atom of sodium has lost one electron.

213
Q

What is formed when a metal reacts with a

non-metal?

A

An ionic compound (made of positive and negative ions).

214
Q

What is formed when a non-metal reacts with a

non-metal?

A

A molecular compound containing covalently bonded atoms.
Atoms share electrons, as opposed to transferring electrons between
each other (cf. ionic compounds).

215
Q

Explain the following: solute, solvent, solution,

miscible, immiscible, soluble, insoluble.

A

A solute is a substance that is dissolved in a solvent. Together, they form a
solution.
Miscible refers to the substances (particularly liquids) that mix together, e.g. water
and alcohol. Water and oil are immiscible, i.e. they do not mix.
Soluble refers to the substance that can be dissolved in a solvent, e.g. salt in
water. Insoluble substance won’t dissolve in a particular solvent.

234
Q

How do Group 1 elements react with
non-metals? Why are these reactions similar for
the different Group 1 elements?

A

They form ionic compounds which are soluble white solids which form
colourless solutions – they all have one electron in their outer shell.

235
Q

A

They release hydrogen and form hydroxides which dissolve to form
alkaline solutions; react vigorously with water fizzing and moving around
on the surface of the water.

236
Q

How does reactivity change moving down Group

1? Why?

A

Reactivity increases as the atoms get larger and the distance between
the nucleus and the outer electrons increases and thus attraction from the
nucleus decreases, allowing them to more easily lose electrons.

 \+ 2Br– → Br2
 \+ 2 Cl–
;
in this reaction, an orange colour of Br2
 would appear
Cl2
 \+ 2 NaI → I2
 \+ 2 NaCl, or Cl2
 \+ 2I–
 → I2
 \+ 2 Cl–
 Br2
 \+ 2 NaI → I2
 \+ 2 NaBr, or Br2
 \+ 2I–
 → I2+ 2 Br–
;
 in these two reactions, a brown colour of I2
 would appear
241
Q

A more reactive halogen displaces a less
reactive one from an aqueous solution of its salt;
explain the trend in reactivity of halogens in these
reactions

A

Reactivity decreases down the group. As we go down the group, the atoms
get larger, so an incoming electron will be less tightly held by the attractive forces
from the nucleus. That’s why Cl2
displaces Br–
and I–
.

242
Q

Compare group 1 metals with transition metals

A

Group 1 metals and transition metals are heat and electricity conductors.
