Q

Properties of solid

A

Have a high density because particles are closely packed together
Cannot be compressed because of really little space between particles
Have a fixed shape because particles are held together

33
Q

1909’ Nuclear model’

A

Positively charged nucleus at the centre surrounded by negatively charged electrons. Earnest Rutherfud’s alpha particle scattering experiment showed that the mass was concentrated at the centre of the atom.

Q

1913’ Bohr model’

A

Electrons orbit the nucleus at specific distances. Niels Bohr proposed that electrons orbit the nucleus in fixed shells and this was supported by experimental observations.

Q

James Chadwick

A

Provided the evidence to show the existence of a neutron

38
Q

who provided the evidence to show the existence of a neutron

A

James Chadwick

39
Q

What’s Rutherford’s scattering experiment

A

Beams of alpha particles are directed at a very thin gold foil. Most of the alpha particles passed right through. A few alpha particles were deflected by the positive nucleus. A tiny number of particles reflected back from the nucleus.

40
Q

Filtration with example

A

separating an insoluble solid from a liquid. e.g To get sand from a mixture of sand, salt, and water.

Q

Crystallisation with example

A

To separate a solid from a solution. e.g to obtain pure crystals of sodium chloride from salt water.
