18
Q

Electron Arrangement

A

The electrons are arranged in ‘shells’ or energy levels

19
Q

Atomic Mass

A

= number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus

20
Q

Atomic Number

A

Number of protons

21
Q

Proton

A

Positively charged particle in the nucleus with a mass of 1

22
Q

Electrons

A

Very small negatively charged particles found in the nucleus in shells

23
Q

Neutrons

A

Particle found in the nucleus of the atom with a mass of 1 and no charge

24
Q

Combustion

A

Combustion occurs when a substance reacts with oxygen releasing energy mainly in the form of light and heat

Combustion is an oxidation reaction.
The substance burnt gains oxygen and gets heavier.

25
Q

Corrosion

A

The process by which a metal reacts with oxygen in the air to form a metal oxide on the surface.

26
Q

Rusting

A

Corrosion of iron or steel

27
Q

Rust

A

Iron Oxide

28
Q

Sacrificial Protection

A

Adding a more reactive metal to iron and corrodes instead of the iron.

29
Q

Galvanising

A

Coating iron in zinc

30
Q

Oxidation

A

When a substance gains oxygen

31
Q

Reduction

A

When a substance loses oxygen

32
Q

Fuel

A

A substance which reacts rapidly with oxygen, giving out heat

33
Q

Neutralisation

A

When an acid reacts with a base

34
Q

Base

A

Substance or solution that will neutralise an acid

35
Q

Independent Variable

A

Variable you choose to change (x axis)

36
Q

Dependent Variable

A

Variable you measure (y axis)

37
Q

Control Variable
