C1 - Chemistry Flashcards
What are the properties of a chemical change
A chemical change makes new products and is almost impossible to reverse and if not impossible, it is extremely difficult. The bonds between particles also break and new bonds are formed.
What are the properties of a physical reaction?
A physical reaction has no new products made, are easily reversible and no bonds are broken
What is the mean distance of an atom?
3.4 x 10 to the power of -9
What is the mean distance between 2 helium atoms?
6.2 x 10 to the power of -11
What is the ratio of distance to diameter?
Distance between atoms / diameter of the atom
What are the limitations of the particle model?
The forces between particles, the size of the particles and the space between particles.
What is an atom?
An atom is the smallest particle of an element that still has its chemical properties. Different elements are made from different atoms.
What is a molecule?
A molecule is made from 2 or more atoms joined together. They are joined by attractive forces called chemical bonds.
What is the typical size of the atomic radius of an atom and the bond length of an atom?
1 x 10 to the power of -10
What is the relative mass of a proton, neutron and an electron?
Proton = 1 Neutron = 1 Electron = 0.0005
What is the relative charge of a proton, neutron and electron?
Proton = +1 Neutron = 0 Electron = -1
What is inside of an atom?
An atom is mainly just empty space that contains negatively charged electrons, electrically neutral neutrons and positively charged protons.
What is the atomic mass or mass number?
The atomic mass is the protons and neutrons.
What is the atomic number?
The atomic number is the amount of protons.
What is the symbol for the atomic mass or mass number?
A
