Classifying materials compounds mixtures metals and non metals Flashcards
What is this?
An element - all the atoms are the same but it is made from molecules
eg oxygen, chlorine
What is this
An element made of atoms they are not joined together
What is this
A compound two or more different atoms joined together
What is this
A mixture mad from an element and a compound they are not joined together
Compounds are formed from…..
Chemical reactions
What is a chemical reaction?
chemical combine together or split apart to form new substances
State the name of the substances you start with in a chemical reaction
Reactants
State the name of the substances you end up with in a chemical reaction
Products
Can a chemical reaction be reversed?
Compounds can be split back into their original elements but energy is needed to make this happen
eg iron sulphide ——> iron + Sulfur
If two elements react together then the product is a….
Compound
eg Iron + sulfur = iron sulphide
What two ways can you write equations for chemical reaction?
- Word equation eg Iron + sulfur = iron sulphide
- Symbol equation eg Fe + S = FeS
What do the numbers in a chemical formula tell you?
The number of each atom in the compound
eg H2O
Formulae endings- when only two elements combine the ending is usually ?
~ide eg chloride, flouride, sulphide, bromide
Formulae endings- when three or more elements combine and one of them is oxygen the ending is usually ?
~ate eg sulphate, carbonate, nitrate
What is this substance, CO2?
Carbon dioxide
What is this substance, CH4?
Methane
What is this substance, NaOH
Sodium hydroxide
What is this substance, HCl
Hydrochloric acid
What is a pure substance?
It is made from only one element or only one compound. The compound cannot be made simpler without a chemical reaction
eg pure water is H2O it cannot be made into H and O without a chemical reaction
What is a mixture?
Two or more different substances which are not joined together and can be separated.
Eg salt and sand
Is air an element, compound or mixture?
It is a mixture of different gases such as nitrogen, oxygen and carbon dioxide
One way of making a mixture is dissolving, the name of the solid being dissolved is?
Solute
One way of making a mixture is dissolving, the name of the liquid being dissolved into is?
Solvent
