Difference between element and compound
Element consists of one type of atom
Compound consists of two
Word equation for burning elements in air
Element + oxygen ➡️ element oxide
Magnesium burning in air observation
Grey solid, bright white light, forms white ash

(YBP)
Yellow solid, blue flame, pungent colourless gas forms
What’s an aLLoy
A mixture of two elements
Sulfur burning in air equation
Sulfur + oxygen ➡️ Sulfur oxide
Reacting metals with steam equation
Metal + steam ➡️ metal oxide + hydrogen

BTS
(Bubbles of ..)
Bubbles of gas, slow, warm test tube
Copper/aluminium in acid observation

What are the 3 sub-atomic particles that makeup an atom
Proton, neutron, electron
Mass/ maths of each sub atomic particle
Proton - 1
Neutron - 1
Electron - 1/1840
Charge of each sub atomic particle
Proton = 1
Neutron = 0
Electron = -1
Why does an atom not have any electric charge?
Because there’s always the same number of electrons as protons
Word equation for metals in cold water
(+)
Metal + cold water ➡️ metal hydroxide + hydrogen
Observation for sodium in cold water
F M MOS RG D
Floats,
melts,
moves on surface,
releases gas,
disappears

Sinks then rises,
Fizzes,
Burns with a pop,
Forms milky solution
Define atoms
Smallest part of element which can exist
Define eLements
Substance that consists of one type of atom - can’t be broken down
Define molecules
(2+)
Two or more atoms chemically bonded together
Define cOmpOund
(SubstancE)
Substance that consists of two or more different elements
