Q

What is atomic number

A

The number of protons or electrons found in an atom.
If a atom was neutral the number would be even. The higher the atomic number the heavier the atom.
The number of protons in an atom is the atomic number. The number of protons plus neutrons is called the mass number

Pure Carbon exists in 3 common forms call allotropes …..name them

A

amorphous carbon (black powder - charcoal)
diamond (hardest natural substance)
graphite (soft slippery substance - conducts electricity
batteries, lead pencil)

29
Q

Why do most metals sink in water

A

Metals are denser than water and therefore will sink. The only exceptions are lithium, sodium and potassium (they will float)

30
Q

Name the base metal of steel and the added metal that gives its rust resistance

A

Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon
Iron is the base metal
Chromium and Nickel added to it to give its rust resistance.

31
Q

What is polyatomic

A

containing more that one atom

32

What is quenching

A

a process in which heated metal is cooled rapidly by dropping it into water

33
Q

What is tempering

A

a process in which metal is heated, cooled rapidly and then reheated

34
Q

what is an acid

A

a substance that releases hydrogen ions (H+) into an aqueous solution

35
Q

define the term indicator

A

chemicals that change colour to show whether a substance is acidic, neutral or basic

36
Q

define the term hydrogen ions

A

when acid is mixed with water - when mixed with water, some of the hydrogen atoms in the acid molecule are released to form hydrogen ions (H+)
