Chemical Character Flashcards
The simplest chemicals are called what
Elements
All elements are made up of tiny particles called what
Atoms
Two metals found in or extracted from the ground
Gold & Copper
In general most metals are solids except

What is the test for hydrogen

Hydrogen is what in colour
Colourless
Hydrogen is what in smell

When hydrogen burns what do you hear
A squeaky pop
When hydrogen burns you hear and see what
You hear a squeaky pop and you see condensation
When hydrogen burns, you hear a squeaky pop and on the sides of a dry container you see condensation. We can summarise the reaction by writing
hydrogen + oxygen from the air = water
Most non metallic elements are dull
