What’s a compound
2 or more different elements chemically combined in fixed proportion
Mixture is
Different elements/compounds not chemically combined
Filtration is
Separating insoluble solid from a liquid
Crystallisation
Separating a soluble solid from a liquid (faster by gently heating under water)
What is distillation
Evporate liquid by heating (turns into a vapour)
Then Condense the vapour back to a liquid by cooling
Fractional distillation
Separation of a liquid into fractions differing in boiling points
What’s plum pudding
Atoms is a ball of positive charge with negative electrons embedded in it
What’s alpha scattering model
Gould foil fired at by alpha particles (P+)
What did alpha scattering do
Most particles straight through (atoms mostly empty space, some deflected(centre of atom must have positive charge) , some bounced back (mass concentrated in centre)
What is the nuclear model
Electrons found at edge , electrons orbit at different distance
What’s atomic number
Bottom -> protons/electrons
What’s mass number
Protons + neutrons
Isotopes :
Atoms of same element
But different number of neutrons
What’s ions
Atoms with an overall charge because ions have lost / gained electrons
Dobeneier periodic table
Triads (elements with similar properties occured in 3’s)
