Neutrons. (Planetary model with neutrons)
28
True or False :The atom as the smallest unit of an element and that can be represented by a symbol
True ;)
29
Periods go: (across/down) Groups go: (across/down)
Periods go across. Groups go down.
30
What is the period number also equal to?
The period number is equal to the number of shells on the atom.
31
What is the group number also equal to?
The group number is equal to the number of valence electrons.
32
What are valence electrons?
The electrons on the outermost shell.
33
What is an ion?
A charged particle that has lost or gained electrons.
34
Describe an electron configuration.
There can only ever be 2 electrons in the first shell and then 8 in each shell for the rest of them. 2, 8, 8, .... (Write like this)
35
What happens as you go down group one?
The elements become more reactive because there is more shell shielding, and they all only have to lose one electron to become stable.
36
Why is group 8 not reactive/stable? (Noble gases)
Elements in group 8 are stable/non reactive as they have full valence shells (all electron spots full).
37
What happens as you go down group 7? (Halogens pattern of reactivity)
The elements become more reactive because there is more shell shielding, and they all only have to gain one electron to become stable.
38
The periodic table is split into 2 sides, Metals and Non-metals, which side is which?
Metals are on the LEFT side and Non-metals are on the RIGHT.
39
True or False: Chemical reactions involve rearranging atoms to form new substances; during a chemical reaction mass is not created or destroyed.
True ;)
40
When does a chemical change occur?
When old bonds between atoms are broken, the atoms are rearranged, and new bonds are formed.
41
True or False: Atoms can be destroyed and created.
False ;)
42
Ionic Bonding can only form between a _____ and a _____
Metal and a Non-Metal.
43
Covalent bonds can from between a _____ and a _____
2 Non-Metals.
44
Define an acid.
- Have a ph of less than 7 - (Strongest acids have a ph of 0) - Acids contain H+ ions (Hydrogen)
45
Define an alkali/base.
- Have a ph of more than 7 - (Strongest bases have a ph of 14) - Bases that are soluble (dissolve in water) are called (an) alkali's - Bases contain OH- ions (hydroxide)
46
Define a salt.
- A Neutral substance -Substance produced by the reaction of an acid and a base.
47
What's the difference between an alkali and a base?
Alkalis are bases that are soluble. (Can be dissolved in water)
48
What is the ph Scale?
A measure of how acidic or alkaline a solution is. - Scale ranges from 0-14.
49
List 3 common acids. Include their chemical formula names.
- Hydrochloric Acid HCl -Nitric Acid HNO3 -Sulphuric Acid H2SO4
50
List 3 common bases/alkali's. Include their chemical formula names.
- Calcium hydroxide Ca(OH)2 - Sodium Hydroxide NaOH - Magnesium Hydroxide Mg(OH)2

64
Name a very common antacid used to neutralize stomach acids.
Eno.
65
What is an antacid?
A type of medication that neutralizes stomach acid to relieve discomfort caused by acid-related conditions.
66
How do Antacids work?
Antacids work by raising the pH level in the stomach, making it less acidic.
67
What is the test for Carbon Dioxide? Outline.
The Limewater test: -To test gases for CO2 you pass it through Limewater. Limewater = calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)₂) -The presence of CO2 is confirmed if the limewater turns milky or cloudy -This is due to presence of calcium carbonate. (CaCO₃), which is insoluble in water and precipitates out, causing the cloudy appearance.
68
What is the test for Hydrogen?
The Pop test: - Hydrogen exposed to a flame makes a distinct popping sound. -This occurs because hydrogen gas reacts explosively with oxygen in the air, forming water.
69
Explain an Endothermic Reaction:
- Heat transfers onto the object. - The object is cooler than its surroundings. - The object is left with more energy than when it started. - Taking in heat = Taking in energy.
70
Explain an Exothermic Reaction:
- Heat transfers out from the object. - The object is hotter than its surroundings. - The object has less energy than when it started. - Radiating heat = Losing energy.
71
Name 2 examples of an endothermic reaction:
- Ice Cube Melting - Evaporation of Water
72
Name 2 examples of an exothermic reaction:
- Combustion of fuels - Mixing Calcium Chloride with water.
73
Explain how cold packs work:
When ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) is dissolved in water, it absorbs heat from the surroundings, causing the solution to feel cold. This reaction is commonly used in instant cold packs.
74
Explain how hot packs work:
Iron powder and water. Iron powder reacts with oxygen in the air, producing iron oxide (rust) and releasing heat in the process.
