Chemistry Flashcards
All matter
has atoms which are composed of protons, neutrons and electrons, mostly empty space
Nucleus
Positively charged, protons and neutrons
Electron cloud
Negatively charged, electrons
Gold foil experiment
Thin strip of gold foil was shot at by positively charged alpha particles most past through but some reflected showing that there is a small area of positive charge in centre of atom
Energy levels
2,8,8,18 (2)
Atomic number
The number of protons and electrons in an element
Atomic mass
The number of neutrons plus the number of electrons
Metals
Left and centre of table often solid at room temperature and are conductive
Non Metals
Right of table often gas at room temperature less conductive
Group 8
Noble gases, non reactive
Group 1
Reactive with water to form hydrogen and alkali solution
Group 7
Highly reactive and the formation of salt with metals
Ionic compounds
One element gives away its electron and becomes an ion as it bonds with an oppositely created ion, between metal and non metal
Covalent compounds
Between two non metals share electrons
Glucose
C6H12O6
