31
Q

what should the sentence structure be for describing trends on a graph?

A

As x-axis goes up, what happens to y-axis?

32
Q

as the atomic radius gets bigger, does it get easier or harder to remove electrons? why?

A

Easier. because the electrons are further away from the nucleus so there is less attraction and there are more shells which is more shielding so theres lower attraction

33
Q

as the atomic radius gets bigger is it more reactive or less reactive?

A

more reactive

34
Q

as the atomic radius gets bigger, does it get harder or easier to attract electrons? why?

A

harder because the electrostatic attraction is weaker (its further apart and more shielding)

35
Q

define atom

A

smallest unit of matter that can’t be broken down more

36
Q

why do isotopes have the same chemical properties?

A

because they have the same electronic configuration

37
Q

define ductile and is it a physical or chemical property?

A

can be pulled into a wire, physical property

38
Q

define malleable and is it a physical or chemical property?

A

can be hammered into a shape, physical property

39
Q

define high conductivity

A

can conduct thermal energy and electricity

40
Q

why can substances transfer energy? (electrons)

A

because electrons are free to move

41
Q

what are word equations? (use example to explain)

A

2.8.1 + 2.8.7 = 2.8+ + 2.8.8-

42
Q

what are symbol equations? (use example to explain)

A

Na + Cl2 = NaCl

43
Q

what does the atomic number tell us?

A

how many protons there are

44
Q

what does the atomic mass tell us?

A

mass of / number of protons + neutrons

45
Q

formula for number of neutrons

A

atomic mass - atomic number

46
Q

difference between element and ion

A

an element is a not charged particle and an ion is a charged particle

47
Q

define occupied electron shells

A

shells with electrons in the shells

48
Q

what is the pattern in a metallic bond?

A

electrons are free to move and delocalized and protons have a regular pattern

49
Q

what is the physical properties of mass and density of isotopes?

A

have different mass and density because number of neutrons is different

50
Q

does an element and atom have a charge?

A

no

51
Q

does an ion have a charge?

A

yes

52
Q

formula for atomic mass

A

number of protons + number of neutrons

53
Q

define radioactive

A

nucleus is unstable

54
Q

as the atomic radius gets smaller, what happens to the energy level?

A

-electron arrangement
-electron distribution
-electronic configuration

A

unwanted substance mixed with wanted usbstsance

57

makes a ringing noise when struck

60
Q

are metals brittle? are metals sonorous? are metals good conductors? are metals ductile? are metals malleable?

A

no, no, yes, yes, yes, yes

61
Q

define diatomic

A

elements made up of molecules containing 2 atoms

62
Q

do molecular substances have low or high melting and boiling points? why?

A

low because forces between molecules (intermolecular forces) in the lattice are weak

define valency electrons

A

The electrons in an atom’s outer shell

68
Q

What happens to a radioactive nucleus

A

Atom breaks down naturally (decays) giving our radiation in the form of rays and particles and a large amount of energy

69
Q

What are 3 uses of radioisotopes?

A

-To check for leaks
-to treat cancer
-to kill germs and bacteria

70
Q

What type of electron decides how an element reacts?

A

Valency electrons

71
Q

Why do atoms form bonds?

A

To have a stable outer shell
