Yr 10 Chemistry Flashcards
Protons
Large with positive charge
Found in nucleus
Electrons
Small with negative charge
Found around the nucleus
Neutrons
Large with no charge
Found in nucleus
Name of protons, electrons and neutrons
Sub atomic particles
Neutrons and protons
Mass of the cell
Electrons take up space
Atomic number
Atom is equal to the number of protons
Mass number
Atomic is equal to the number of protons added to the number of neutrons
Isotopes
An atom with the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons
Same atomic number but different mass number
How many electrons in a shell
2, 8,8, 2
Another name for outer shell
Valence
Valence electrons involve
Chemical reaction
Shells are also know as
Energy levels
Rows across are
Periods
Rows down
Group
Group 1
Alkali metals
Soft grey colour
Group 2
Alkaline earth metals
Soft very reactive
Group 17
Halogens
Bright coloured
Group 18
Noble
Unreactive
Full outer shell (8)
Rest of groups
Main group elements
How to determine elements period and group
Group= last number of electrons in last shell Period= how many shells
Metallic
Resembling metals
Cation occur to form a positive charged ion when they lose electrons in the outer shell
Metals are good conductor of heat, electricity and are shiny
Ionic compound
Cation and Anion
When a metal gives away a valence electron to become positive charged and a non metals gains valence electron to become negative
Consist of metal and non metal
Cation
Positively charged ion
Anion
Negatively charged ion
