4 parts of an atom:
Electron
Protron
Neutron
Nucleus
The first alkali metal
Lithium
Group 7 elements are called…
Halogens
These elements are very unreactive
Noble gases
A green gas that is a halogen
Chlorine
What is relative atomic mass?
John Dalton theory
All atoms of a certain element have the same mass BUT that atoms of different elements have different masses.
Hydrogen was given mass of 1 - other elements are compared to this so we say the masses of the atoms are RELATIVE to hydrogen.
When magnesium reacts with oxygen it burns to form magnesium oxide. The mass is the same before and after. Why?
The atoms of the reactants are just REARRANGED. NO atoms are LOST or GAINED. The mass of the product made is therefore the same as the reactants.
