36
Q

What is the periodic table?

A

approx 100 elements
period is horizontal row
group is vertical column
1st letter of element is capital and 2nd letter is lowercase

37
Q

How do you separate an iron and sulphur mixture?

A

Iron is magnetic so if magnet is stirred through mixture, iron will stick to it. Sulphur will not as it is non-magnetic.

38
Q

What does malleable mean?

A

Can be hammered into shape

39
Q

What does ductile mean?

A

To be drawn into wires

40
Q

Give some properties of metals

A

good conductors of electricity and heat
usually high melting/boiling points
all solids at room temp except mercury
shiny solids
usually malleable and ductile.

41
Q

Give some properties of non metals

A

soft + brittle (except diamond)
Poor conductors of heat
Usually low melting/boiling points
Poor conductors of electricity (except graphite)
usually dull (diamond is exception)
gas/solid/liquid at room temp

42
Q

What is a compound?

A

Substance formed when two or more (different) elements are chemically combined. Pure substance. Cannot be separated easily.
They have completely different properties to elements used to make them.

43
Q

What are the particles in a compound called?

A

Molecules

44
Q

how do we name compounds?

A

-ends in -ide if contains 2 elements
-ends in -ate if it contains three or more elements. (One being oxygen)

e.g iron +sulfur —> iron sulfide
e.g sodium+nitrogen+oxygen—> sodium nitrate

45
Q

what is a mixture?

A

2 or more substances mixed together. Usually easy to separate.

46
Q

what can mixtures be composed of? Give three types

A

mixture of elements
mixture of element + compounds
Mixture of compounds.

47
Q

How do we write common compounds as symbols?

A

e.g water (H20)
state of compound = liquid
elements present in compound=2 hydrogen, 1 oxygen.
state of each element present in compound- H- gas, O-gas.
