Q

Why is the valence shell important

A

When two atoms approach each other and react with each other it is their outer shells that come into contact first and it is therefore the electrons in their outer shells that are normally involved in any chemical reaction

17
Q

Dalton’s atomic theory of matter

A

All matter is composed of atoms indivisible and indestructible building blocks while all atoms of an element were identical different elements had Atoms of different size

Q

Metalloids

A

Solid at room temperature, maybe shiny or Dahl, may conduct electricity, poor conductors of heat, brittle, nonductile

25
Q

Explain why the process of growing coffee is hard to classify as physical or chemical change

A

Boiling coffee involves a chemical change that delicate molecules that gives coffee its flavour, react with air and become a new bitter substance and physical
