Describe an electron
Subatomic particle
- little mass
- orbits nucleus
- has negative charge
Describe a proton
- positive charge
- in nucleus of atom
- 1 amu
Describe a neutron
- no charge
In nucleus
1 Amu
Describe atomic mass
The mass of the subatomic particles in a molecule or particle.
The mass of protons and neutrons
Atomic number
The number of protons or electrons in a atom of a element
Valence electrons
Amount of electrons the the outer shell of an atom, it determines the bonding power of a atom
How can u tell if a chemical reaction has taken place
- Heat is produced or absorbed
- The starting material is used up
- A new colour appears
- A starting colour appears
- A material with different properties
forms - Gas bubbles form in a liquid
- Solid partial grains are precipitate form in a liquid
Describe a alkali metal
Soft reactive
1 electron in outer shell
Describe a alkaline earth metal
Reactive but not as much as alkalis bond readily
Describe a halogen
Very reactive, strong smell
Cleaning products
Noble gases
Stable, not very reactive
Output le
Describe a metal
Boring shiny conduct electricity
Group
