Chemistry C1 Flashcards
What type of charge is protons and neutrons ?
Protons = positively charge Neutrons = no charge they are neutral
What is in the middle of atom ?
It contans protons and neutrons
What are the electrons
The electrons are around the nucleus
They are negatively charged
They occupy Shells around the nucleus
What are the no. Of protons equal to ?
No. Of protons = no. Of electrons in a atom
What is a ion ?
If some electrons are added or removed the ats becomes charged
What is a element ?
One type of atom
What does the periodic table show ?
They put elements with similar properties together
What is the vertical columns of periodic table ?
Groups all the elements in a group have the same number of electrons in their outer shell
This is why elements in the same group have similar properties
What elements are in group 0?
They are noble gases
They have eight electrons in their outer shell apart from helium
So they are stable and un reactive
Where do you find the mass number?
The top number is the atomic number
This is no. of protons and neurons
Where is the atomic number ?
This is the no. Of protons so no.of electrons
What are the maximum no. Of electrons in each shell?
The first shell =2
2nd shell=8
3rd shell=8
What is a compound
When different elements react form chemical bond with other atoms form compounds
Fact
A compound which if form from a metal and non metal consist of ions
What is ionic bonding ?
The metal atoms lose electrons to form positive ions and non metal atoms gain electrons to form negative ions
The opposite charges of the ion means that they’re strongly attracted to each other
What is covalent bonding ?
A compound from non metal consist of molecules each atom shares an electrons with another atom
Each atom had to make enough covalent bonds to fill up its outer shell
What is limestone made out of?
Calcium carbonate
What is limestone make when it’s thermally decomposed
Calcium oxide and carbon dioxide
What is the equation for calcium carbonate?
Calcium carbonate -> calcium oxide + carbon dioxide
When passing carbonate react and acid is it make?
Also reacts with acid to make a calcium salt and water
What is created when calcium oxide reacts with water
Calcium hydroxide
What is the equation of calcium hydroxide
Calcium oxide + water -> calcium hydroxide
What is could calcium hydroxide be used for ?
Neutralise acidic soil in field
Test for carbon dioxide
What is quarrying limestone ?
Making huge holes which permantally changes the landscape
