Q

Identify the state of matter of orange juice and justify using the properties of matter

A

Orange juice is a liquid because it has no fixed shape but has a fixed volume. It will flow when poured and take the shape of the container it is put in.

Q

Identify the state of matter of a ruler (at room temp) and justify using the properties of matter

A

A ruler is a solid because it has a fixed shape and a fixed volume. It doesn’t flow and cannot be poured.

28
Q

What is a solute?

A

The solid that is dissolved in the solvent

29
Q

What is a solution?

A

A solvent with a solute in it

30
Q

What is a dilute solution?

A

A solution with a low number of solute particles dissolved in a given volume of solvent.

31
Q

What is a concentrated solution?

A

A solution with a high number of solute particles dissolved in a given volume of solvent.

32
Q

What is the outermost shell with electrons in it is called?

A

Valence shell

33
Q

What is a saturated solution?

A

A solution that cannot dissolve any more solute particles in the solvent.

34
Q

What charge does a proton have?

A

Positive

35
Q

What is the electron configuration of silicon?

A

2,8,4

36
Q

What charge does a neutron have?

A

Neutral

37
Q

What is a group?

A

A group is a column on the periodic table, the group of an element is linked to the number of valence electrons it has.

38
Q

What charge does an electron have?

A

Negative

39
Q

Where are neutrons and protons located in an atom?

A

In the nucleus

40
Q

What is filtration, and what does it separate?

A

Separation technique to separate an insoluble solid from a liquid – the small holes in the filter paper stop the solid going through, but let the water pass.

41
Q

What is a period?

A

A period is a row on the periodic table, an element is in is linked to the number of occupied shells an element has

42
Q

How do you calculate the number of neutrons?

A

Mass number - atomic number

43
Q

Explain why atoms are neutral overall.

A

[An element]’s atomic numeber is [n], meaning it has [n] protons and [n] electrons. Electrons have a negative charge, and protons a positive charge, so they cancel out. Neutrons have no charge, so [the element]’s has a neutral charge overall.

44
Q

What is a mixture?

A

A mixture is a substance made up of 2 or more types of substances that are not chemically joined

45
Q

What is a compound?

A

A compound is a substance made up of 2 or more types of atoms chemically joined

46
Q

What is chromatography, and what does it separate?

A

It uses the capillary action of water to separate different coloured pigments.

47
Q

What is evaporation, and what does it separate?

A

This is used to separate a solid that is
dissolved in water. Water evaporates, leaving the solid behind.

48
Q

What is distillation, and what does it separate?

A

This is used to separate two liquids with different boiling points that are mixed together.

49
Q

What is melting?

A

Solid to liquid

50
Q

What is a liquid turning into gas called?

A

Evaporation

51
Q

What is sublimation?

A

Solid to gas

52
Q

What is gas turning into solid called?

A

Reverse sublimation/deposition

53
Q

What is condensation?

A

Gas into liquid

54
Q

What is liquid turning into solid called?

A

Freezing

55
Q

What is concentration?

A

The amount of a solute particles in a given volume of solvent.
