T1 - Atomic structure and periodic table Flashcards
What is a compound?
Two or more different elements chemically combined in fixed proportions
What is a mixture?
two or more elements or compounds not chemically combined together.
What is an element?
A substance that contains only one type of atom
What separation techniques are use for mixture?
Physical separation techniques
What is filtration used for?
To separate a insoluble solid from a liquid
What is the process of filtration? x3
- Put filter paper in a filter tunnel
- Pour mixture into filter paper
- The liquid passes through and the insoluble solid gets trapped
What is crystallisation used for?
To separate a soluble solid from a liquid
What is the process of crystallisation? X4
- Gently heat the solution in a water bath until crystals start forming
- Leave it to cool
- Filter out crystals from solution
- Dry crystals by leaving somewhere warm
What is simple distillation used for?
To separate a liquid from a solution
What is the process of simple distillation? x4
- Put solution into a flask
- The solution is heated with a bunsen burner
- The solution evaporates and rises up
- The vapour passes through the condenser and condenses into liquid
What is fractional distillation used for?
Separating mixture of liquids
What is the process of fractional distillation? x5
- Heat the solution with a bunsen burner
- The liquids in the solution evaporate
- The liquid with the lower boiling point rises up and the liquid with higher boiling point is stopped by glass rods
- The vapour then condenses into liquid
5 The bunsen burner is the heated at a higher temperature
What is chromatography used for?
TO separate different substances in a mixture
What is the process of chromatography? x4
- Draw a pencil line near the bottom of paper
- Put dots of colour along the line
- Put bottom of paper in solvent
- Ink is carried up paper
What is the stationary phase in chromatography?
The paper
What is the mobile phase in chromatography
The solvent
In chromatography, what compound produces a single spot?
A pure compound
In chromatography, does a more soluble substance travel further or less than a less soluble substance?
It travels more
What were atoms thought to be before electrons were discovered?
Atoms were tiny spheres that could not be divided.
What discovery led to the creation of the plum pudding model of the atom?
Discovery of the electron
What does the plum pudding model suggest?
The atom is a ball of positive charge with negative electrons embedded in it.
