Chemistry SLOPS Flashcards
define atom
The smallest part of an element that can still be recognised as that element
define element
a substance made of only one type of atom
define compound
a substance made of two or more different atoms chemically bonded together
what does soluble mean?
dissolves in water
what does insoluble mean?
does not dissolve in water
describe the plum pudding model
ball of positive charge with electrons embedded in it
which scientist developed the plum pudding model
JJ Thomson
which discovery did the alpha particle scattering experiment lead to?
that atoms have dense nucleuses with a positive charge
what did Bohr propose about electrons
electrons orbit at set energy levels
which scientist provided evidence for neutrons in the nucleus
James Chadwick
3 subatomic particles
protons
neutrons
electrons
masses of subatomic particles
protons: 1
neutrons: 1
electrons: very small
the relative charges of the subatomic particles
protons: +1
neutrons: 0
electrons: -1
how are the subatomic particles arranged in an atom
protons and neutrons in the nucleus
electrons orbiting in shells
what is an isotope
atoms of the same element with a different number of neutrons
what is the overall charge of an atom neutral
there are the same number of protons as electrons
the overall charge of the nucleus
positive
only made up of protons and neutrons
what is the atomic number of an atom
the number of protons in an atom
what is the mass number of an atom
the number of protons and neutrons
the name of group 1
the alkali metals
the name of group 7
the halogens
the name of group 0
the noble gases
the trend in reactivity down group 1
increases down
the trend in reactivity down group 7
decreases down
how is the periodic table organised
atomic number and groups of elements with similar chemical properties
how was the old periodic table organised
by atomic weight
name the scientist who developed the modern periodic table
Mendeleev
what did Mendeleev do for undiscovered elements
he left gaps
what can the group number tell you about the electrons in an atom?
how many electrons in the outer shell
what are periods in the periodic table
the rows in the periodic table
what charge do electrons have
negative
why did Mendeleev leave gaps in his periodic table
for elements that had not been discovered yet
why did Mendeleev put some elements in groups
because they had similar chemical properties
why is group 0 highly unreactive
the have a stable arrangement of electrons
(full outer shell)
sodium + water ➡️
sodium hydroxide + hydrogen
sodium + chlorine ➡️
sodium chloride
sodium + oxygen ➡️
sodium oxide
the trend in boiling point down group 7
increases down the group
potassium bromide + chlorine ➡️
potassium chloride + bromine
what type of reaction is this?
potassium bromide + chlorine ➡️ potassium chloride + bromine
displacement reaction
how do you calculate the number of neutrons in an atom
mass number - atomic number
