Q

What are the 2 types of mixtures & describe them

A

-heterogeneous mixture = visually distinguishable components (salt & pepper, oil & water)

-homogeneous mixture = appear uniform throughout, all solutions are homogenous not all homogenous mixtures are solutions (milk: uniform appearance, but still has fat particles floating around)

99
Q

What are valence electrons?

A

Valence shell = the outermost shell (highest value of n), the electrons in that shell are valence electrons

100
Q

What is the Lewis structure?

A

electron-dot structure , it represents the valence electrons of a particular element

101
Q

Why does atomic size increase as we go down a group on the periodic table?

A

Because the number of shells increases

102
Q

Why does atomic size decrease as we go left to right on the periodic table?

A

the number of electrons is increasing, therefore attracting more energy and shrinking its size

103
Q

What is ionization energy?

A

the energy needed to remove an electron from a neutral atom

104
Q

Why does ionization energy decrease as we go down the periodic table?

A

valence electrons get farther away from the positively charged nucleus
