Chemisty Flashcards
How particles arranged
Solid - ordered
Liquid and gas - random
How particles move
Solid
Liquid
Gas
Solid - vibrate only
Liquid - move freely
Gas - move fairly freely
Why do liquids and gases take the shape of their container
Particles can move around
Why do solids not take the shape of their container
Particles cannot move around
Why can gases be squashed easily
There are big spaces between the particles which can be pushed closer together
Why can’t solids and liquids be squashed easily
Particles are close so cannot be pushed closer together
Liquid to solid
Freezing
Solid to liquid
Melting
Liquid to gas
Evaporation
Gas to liquid
Condensation
Solid to gas
Sublimation
Gas to solid
Deposition
In an atom where are all the
Protons
Neutrons
Electrons
Nucleus
Protons, nucleus - in the center
Electrons - on the outer lines
Relative mass/charge of
Proton
Electron
Neutron
Relative mass
Proton, neutron - 1
Electron - 0
Charge
Proton +
Neutron I
Electron -
Why are atoms always neutral
The number of electrons in an atom is always equal to the number of protons
So an atom as a whole is electrically neutral
Mon-
Di/bi-
Tri-
Mono - 1
Bi - 2
Tri - 3
SO3
NO
NO2
SO3 - sulphur trioxide
NO - Nitrogen monoxide
NO2 - Nitrogen Dioxide
What elements would you react together to make iron oxide
Iron and oxygen
Atoms in
CO2
CuSO4
CO2 - 1 carbon 2 oxygen
CuSO4 - 1 copper 1 sulphur 4 oxygen
Stoichiometry
Chemical quantites in chemistry
where ratio of amounts of each substance in a chemical reaction is balanced
What do word equationss represent
Changes that happen in chemical reactions using names of substances involved
What do Balanced chemical equations represent
Represent changes that happen in chemical reactions
using formulae of the reactants and products
Molar mass
Mass of 1 mole that substance equal to
Relative atomic mass
Relative formula mass
Molar mass
SO2
(SO4)3
SO2 | 16 + (2x8) = 32
(SO4)3 | S3 + O7
Mole
the unit for amount of substance
How to work out | Number of moles of atoms
Mass in grams
