Q

Homogeneous

A

means uniform composition. (e.g. vodka, rain, water). Its basically things that you can break down, but you can’t use simple mechanics to separate the things.

16
Q

physical change

A

A physical change is when the form of the matter changes, but the substance does not.

17
Q

chemical change

A

A chemical change is when the matter changes and at least one new substance is formed.

18
Q

evidence of a chemical change

A

gas bubbles, color change, change in volume e.t.c

19
Q

evidence of a physical change.

A

change of size, volume, color (like food coloring), density

20
Q

Particle model of matter/ Dalton’s theory.

A

Everything is composed of atoms- indivisible and cannot be destroyed.

All atoms of an element are identical. (The hydrogen in the sun is the same as the hydrogen in a pigs body).

The atoms of different elements vary in size.

Compounds are formed by a combination of two or more different kinds of atoms.

A chemical reaction is a rearrangement of atoms.

21
Q

Different model of atoms

A

The plum pudding, planetary model, Bohr model, and electron cloud model.

22
Q

Plum pudding model

A

The plum pudding model states that electrons are surrounded by a volume of positive charges.

23
Q

Planetary model

A

The atom consisted of a small dense and positively charged nucleus around which electrons orbited in circular rings.

24
Q

Bohr model

A

The electrons orbited round the nucleus and the electrons were confined to set orbits around the nucleus.

25
Q

Electron cloud model

A

The electron cloud model says that we cannot know exactly where an electron is at any given time, but the electrons are more likely to be in specific areas.

26
Q

How are elements arranged in the periodic table?

A

They are arranged by the increasing atomic number.

27
Q

Why are elements into families and groups?

A

Because they have similar chemical properties.

28
Q

List 3 elements in the same period on the periodic table

A

Na- Sodium
Mg-Magnesium
Al- Aluminium ( answers may differ) This is period 3

29
Q

List 3 elements in the same group (family) on the periodic table

A

F- Fluorine
Cl- Chlorine
Br- Bromine. (answers may differ) This is group halogens or group 17.

30
Q

A

are on the left side of the periodic table

31
Q

A

are in the middle of the periodic table

32
