Chemistry yr10 Flashcards
Ions
Atoms that have lost or gained electrons therefore have electric charge
Cations
Positively charged ions
Anions
Negatively charged ions
Ionic Compound
When atoms come in contact with each other and lose or gain electrons, between metals and non-metals
Ionic bond
Oppositely charged ions attract each other and form a compound
Ionic Compound Properties
Made up of positive and negative ions
solids at room temp
very high melting points because electrostatic force of attraction is very high
Dissolve in water into aqueous solutions
aqueous solutions usually conduct electricity
First ten elements discovered
Carbon, sulfur, iron, copper, zinc, silver, tin, gold, mercury, and lead
First person to arrange elements in numerical order
John Newlands
Person who arranged elements into rows and columns
Mendeleev
Periodic law
observation that physical and chemical properties of the elements recur at regular intervals when in correct arrangement
Mendeleev’s achievements
found way to arrange elements into rows and columns
Called rows periods and columns groups
predicted Germanium 15 years before discovery
Symbols
form of shorthand for writing names of elements
Atom number
number of proton in an atom
Mass number
sum of protons and neutrons in atom
Weighted mean
average weight of atom
8 families of periodic table and their groups
group 1: Alkali metals group 2: alkaline earth metals group 3-12: transitional metals group 13-17: metalloids group 17: halogens group 18: noble gases Above metalloids: non-metals under metalloids: metals
alkali metals
React strongly with water
halogens
Brightly coloured elements
noble gases
Don’t react well
common features in metals
Solid at room temp, except mercury are lustre Good conductors are malleable Are ductile melt at high temps, except mercury which is -40
Malleable
Can be folded into shapes without breaking
ductile
Capable of being drawn out into wire or thread.
non-metals at room temp
11 are gases
10 are solid
1 is liquid
Common features of non-metals
aren’t lustre Are brittle aren’t ductile Poor conductors melt at low temps Most are gases at room temp
Lustre
has a shiny surface
acid and base reaction produces
Salt and water
type of salt produced depends on the reactant
Is a neutralisation reaction as +H ion reacts with -OH ion to form H2O
molecules
Formed when atom comes in contact with another
ways to increase reaction rate
Change amount of reactant and concentration of reactant
change temperature
Change surface area
use of a catalyst
Catalyst
helps bonds to break more easily, therefore less energy needed by reactants
Always as much catalyst as before reaction then after
Are not changed by reaction
zeolites
Crystalline substances made of aluminium, silicon and oxygen
used to break up large molecules in crude oil to smaller molecules (eg. Petrol > octane)
Electrovalency
number of positive/negative charges on ion
Molecular ions
complex negative ions
Atom physical states
(S) solid
(L) liquid
(G) gas
