Chemistry 2021 Flashcards
Atom
An atom is the smallest particle which can exist on its own
Element
An element consists of only one type of atom and cannot be broken down into anything simpler
Compound
A compound consists of two or more elements,chemically bonded together
Atomic Number
The number of protons in an atom
Atomic Mass
The number of protons+neutrons in an atom
Ions
Is a charged paticle
Isotopes
Atoms of a particular element with the same number of protons,but different number of neutrons
Molecule
Two or more atoms covalently bonded together
Diatomic
When a molecule contains two atoms covalently bonded together
Van der waals forces
Weak attraction forces between the molecules
Allotrope
Is a different structural form,of the same element in the same state
Alloy
Mixture of two or more elements,one of which is a metal,resulting in the product having metallic properties
Neutrationsion
H+(aq)+OH-(aq)=H20
Malleable
beaten into shape
Ductile
Drawn into wire
Sonority
Produces sound when struck
Group one (5 points)
Alkai Metals
- White solids dissolve into colourless solutions
- Highly flammable and corrisive
- Low density
- Soft,when cut reveal a shiny surface but quick tarnish as it reacts with air.
- More reactive it you descend as the electrons in the outer shell is FURTHER from the positive nucleus ans is shielded by more shells of electrons which make it easier to remove
Group zero
- Noble gas
- Colourless and unreactive gases
- As you descend the boiling points increases.
What colour is: Copper(II) oxide Copper(II) carbonate Hydrated copper(II) sulfate In solution copper(II) compounds
- Black
- Green
- Blue
- Blue
Relative Atomic Mass(Ar)
The mass of an atom compared to that of carbon-12 isotope,which mass it exactly 12.
Acids
- Corrosive
- Contain Hydrogen ions
Alkali
- Caustic
- Contains Hydroxide ions
- Soluble
Base
Reacts with an acid to form a salt and water
Salt
The compund formed when some or all the hydrogen ions of an acid are replaced by metal ions
