Q

litmus

A

An indicator. Blue litmus paper goes red on adding acid. Red litmus paper goes blue on adding alkali.

17
Q

metal

A

Elements on the left of the stepped line of the Periodic Table. Most metals are shiny, good conductors of electricity and heat, malleable and ductile, and solid at room temperature.

18
Q

neutral

A

Describes an object or particle that has no charge, or in which positive and negative charges cancel out, giving no overall charge.

19
Q

neutralisation

A

In a neutralisation reaction, an acid cancels out a base or a base cancels out an acid.

20
Q

non-metal

A

Elements on the right of the stepped line of the Periodic Table. Most non-metals are dull, poor conductors of electricity and heat, brittle, and solid or gaseous at room temperature.

21
Q

oxidation

A

A chemical reaction in which a substance combines with oxygen.

22
Q

oxide

A

A substance made up of a metal or non-metal element joined to oxygen.

23
Q

Periodic table

A

A table of all the elements, in which elements with similar properties are grouped together.

24
Q

pH scale

A

The pH scale shows whether a substance is acidic, alkaline, or neutral. An acid has a pH between 0 and 7. An alkaline has a pH between 7 and 14. A solution of pH 7 is neutral.

25
Q

physical change

A

A change that is reversible, in which new substances are not made. Examples of physical changes include changes of state and dissolving.

26
Q

physical property

A

A property of a material that you can observe or measure.

27
Q

product

A

A substance that is made in a chemical reaction.

28
Q

reactant

A

A starting substance in a chemical reaction.

29
Q

reactive

A

A substance is reactive if it reacts vigorously with substances such as dilute acids and water.

30
Q

reactivity

A

The tendency of a substance to undergo a chemical reaction.

31
Q

salt

A

A compound made in a neutralisation reaction. (Sodium chloride etc…)

32
Q

strong acid

A

An acid in which all of the acid particles split up when it dissolves in water. pH1-3

33
Q

universal indicator

A

An indicator that changes colour to show the pH of a solution. It is a mixture of dyes.

34
Q

weak acid

A

An acid in which only some of the acid particles split up when it dissolves in water. PH4-6

35
Q

word equation

A

A way of representing a chemical reaction simply. The reactants are on the left of an arrow, and the products are on the right.
