Solid, Liquid and Gas
Define how solids are arranged
Stick to one another and vibrate and don’t move
Define how liquids are arranged
they flow but are still connected
Define how gasses are arranged

How many chemical elements are there in the periodic table
118
Is helium a solid, liquid or a gas? Is it made up of atoms or molecules?
Helium is a gas made up of atoms. Each particle is on its own and they are far apart, arranged in a random way.. If it was made of molecules, they would be in clusters of two or more.
What is the formula of water
H₂O
What is the formula of carbon dioxide
CO₂
Whereabouts on the periodic table are the non-metals found?
On the right.
The non-metal elements are found on the right-hand side of the periodic table, and metals on the left and in the middle.
Which technique is most likely to be used to separate the elements which are bonded together in a compound?
Thermal decomposition.
Thermal decomposition can be used to break down some compounds into elements. Simple techniques like filtration and evaporation will not work, but they can be used for separating mixtures.
