Q

How do you calculate the number of neutrons in an element?

A

The Mass number minus the Atomic Number. (it will be a positive number because you cant have negitive mass)

Q

What is a base on the ph scale

17
Q

What is the difference between a Base and An Alkali

A

Alkalis are bases which are dissovled into water (or another soulte)

18
Q

What is neutral on the ph scale

19
Q

What is the first aid advice for an Acid Attack? Why?

A

Irrigate the wound with water and with cows Milk because cows milk is slighlty Alkalai and will neutralise the acid.

20
Q

What is a molecule?

A

Two or more atoms bonded together

21
Q

What are the properties of Giant Ionic Lattices?

A

They Conduct electricity in aqueous solution
They have a High melting point
They are soluble in water

22
Q

Why is NaCl (Sodium Chloride) soluble in water?

A

The water molecules are Polarized, and therefore can pull apart the Ionic bonds between Na and Cl easily.

23
Q

Why is the Melting point of sodium 806 degrees Celsius?

A

The Ionic bonds between Na and Cl are strong.

24
Q

How do you make Ionic structures conduct electricity?

A

Melt them or dissolve them in water

25
Why does Na Cl conduct electricity? (when molten or dissolved in water)
Because the Ions are free to move, hit each other and conduct electricity.
26
Why isn't NaCl conductive when solid?
The Ions are fixed in a lattice shape.
