How many electrons does aluminium have
13
What is the atomic number
The number of protons
What is the mass number
Number of protons plus the amount of neutrons
What’s an element
A substance made from one type of atom
chemical symbols for hydrogen, aluminium, magnesium and sodium?
H, Al, Mg and Na
What’s a atom?
The smallest part of an element that can exist on its own.
What are the differences in atoms?
Atoms that make up an element are the same however atoms of a different element are different.
Do atoms have the same properties as the element?
No, one atom by itself does not share the same properties. Atoms joined together do.
What’s a compound?
Where two or more elements strongly join together.
What’s a molecule?
A molecule is two or more atoms strongly joined together.
What elements make up water?
Two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom
What is a salt?
A salt is a scientific name for a compound of sodium and chlorine. Sodium chloride.
What makes up carbon dioxide?
One carbon atom and two oxygen atoms.
What’s the name for sulphur plus 3 oxygen atoms?
Sulphur trioxide.
What’s the name for sodium plus chlorine?
Sodium chloride. If you add an element onto let’s say chlorine you take away the -ine and add -ide.
Chemical formula for carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide?
CO2, CO
What happens when there are more than two elements in a compound?
The third element tends to be a various number of oxygen atoms. This just means you change the the suffix into -ate (hydrogen being the exception). For example: copper sulphate
Chemical formula for: sodium hydroxide, sodium nitrate, copper sulphate and calcium carbonate?
NaOH, NaNO3, CuSO4, CaCO3. In all these formulae there are three elements.
