Chemistry: Atomic Structure and the Periodic Table Flashcards
What are the three sub-atomic particles
Proton, Neutrons, Electrons
What is the Relative Mass of a Proton
1
what is the Relative Mass of a Neutron
1
What is the Relative Mass of an Electron
(almost) 0
What is the charge of a Proton
+1
what is the charge of a Neutron
0
What is the charge of an Electron
-1
What is the atomic number
Number of protons
What is the atomic mass
Total number of protons ans neutrons
What are isotopes
Form of element where the atomic number/protons are the same as the original atom a but the number of neutrons/atomic mass if different
What is the relative atomic mass formula
sum of (isotope abundance x isotope mass number) / sum of abundances of all isotopes
What is a compound
Multiple atoms chemically bonded together
What is a mixture
Multiple elements however they aren’t chemically bonded together
What method can be used to separate Insoluble solids from liquids
Filtration
What two methods can be used to separate Soluble solids from Solutions
Evaporation and Crystallisation
What is the electron shell rule
The first shell can have two electrons and all over outer shells can have a maximum of 8 electrons
Who invented the modern periodic table
Dmitri Mendeleev
How is the periodic table arranged
By physical and chemical properties. By relative atomic mass
What are the rows on the periodic table called
Periods
How many groups are there
8
Name group 1 the middle, group 7 and group 8
Alkali metals, Transition metals, Halogen gases, Noble gases
Name 6 general characteristics of metals
Strong, Malleable, Conduct heat, Conduct electricity, high melting point, high boiling point
Name 4 general characteristics of non-metals
Dull looking, brittle, don’t conduct electricity, lower density
Describe the group 1 elements
Known as alkali metals that are normally very soft and very reactive. react very vigorously with water to produce hydrogen gas and metal hydroxides. React vigorously with chlorine gas to produce metal chloride salts and react with oxygen to form metal oxide
