Chemistry Year 9 Flashcards
What are the three types of atoms
Protons, neutrons, electrons
Where are the electrons found?
On the outer rings
Where are the protons and neutrons found
Together in the nucleus
What is the relative mass of protons and neutrons?
One
What is the relative mass of an electron?
Almost 0
What is the charge of a proton?
Plus one
What is the charge of a neutron?
Zero
What’s the charge of an electron?
Minus one
When calculating the missing values of elements, what columns are the same?
The atomic number number of protons and the number of electrons
How do you find the number of neutrons?
Mass number - Atomic number
What do protons and electrons have in common?
They both always have the same amount
Why are atoms always Neutral 
There’s always the same amount of protons and electrons, so they cancel each other out
How many electrons can you have on the first shell
2
How many electrons can you have on the second shell
Eight
How many electrons can you have on the third shell
8
How many electrons can you have on the fourth shell
The rest
Where do you find protons on an element?
On the bottom/the atomic number
What are isotopes?
They are different variants of a particular element in a chemical which differ in neutrons
How do you balance equations?
By placing a big number, for example 2
How do you workout formula mass?
You have to add the atomic mass of each element in the formula
 How many elements in monoxide
One
How many elements in dioxide?
2
How many elements in trioxide?
Three
How do you go from a gas to solid?
Deposition 
How do you go from solid to gas?
Sublimation
How do you go from gas to liquid?
Condensation
