Chemistry mock revision Flashcards
How are giant ionic lattices formed
Giant ionic lattices are formed when ions attract each other and form regular patterns with oppositely charged ions
How does an atom become positive live charged
An atom becomes positively charged when it loses an electron
How does an atom become negatively charged
An atom becomes negatively charged when it gains an electron
What is an ion
An ion is a charged atom which has gained or lost an electron
When an atom becomes an ion how many electrons does it want on its outer shell
An atom wants 8 electrons in its outer shell so that it can become stable
What is collision theory
Collision theory is where reactants have enough energy for a collision between particles to react successfully
What is activation energy
For a reaction to take place particles of the reactants must successfully collide with each other to react. The minimum amount of energy particles needed to react is the activation energy
Give 4 factors that affect the rate of reaction
Factors that affect the rate of reaction are temperature, concentration, the presence of a catalyst, pressure, and the surface area
What is the rate of reaction
The rate of reaction is how fast chemical reactions take place
How do you measure the rate of reaction
The rate of reaction is: amount of reactant divided by the time taken
What is an element
Elements are the simplest substances that cannot be broken down
What is an atom
Atoms are the smallest part of an element that share the chemical properties of the element
What is a compound
A compound is a substance made when 2 or more elements are chemically bonded together
What is a mixture
A mixture is a combination of two or more pure substances which keeps its individual chemical properties (they are not bonded)
What is the name of the pattern formed using chromatography
It is a chromatogram
