test feedback revision Flashcards
Which changes of state need energy?
Melting, evaporating and sublimation
What is an atom?
Simplest thing that can exist on its own
What is a molecule?
2 or more atoms joined together by covalent bonds
What is an ion?
Charged particle
What is a mixture?
2 or more substances not chemically joined together
Describe the structure of the atom
Nucleus that contains protons and neutrons with electrons in shells orbiting it
What is the mass of a proton? neutron? electron?
P= 1, n = 1, e 1/1840 or negligible
What are the charges on a proton? neutron? electron?
p = +, n = 0, e = -
What does the proton number (atomic number) tell you?
Number of protons (which equals the number of electrons in an atom)
How do you work out the amount of neutrons?
Mass number - atomic number
How is a negative ion formed?
Gain an electron - non metals
What happens in an ionic bond?
Electrons are given from metals to non-metals
What happens in a covalent bond?
Electrons are shared between non-metals
Which is the stronger bond covalent or ionic?
Ionic
What are the differences between ionic and covalent compounds?
Ionic have higher mpt and bpt, are soluble in water, conduct electricity when molten, not volatile (do not evaporate easily)
