A

A gases
B a full shell of electrons
C a particle
D single unit

26
Q

A

Magnesium oxide

32
Q

When acid is added to magnesium what gas is produced

A

Hydrogen
What is the test for this gas called ? The pop test , because when hydrogen is captured in a test tube it causes a lit match to pop.

33
Q

Heating , pressure, surface area, type of reactants, concentration of reactants

36
Q

The cloud model of an atom is best explained as what?

A

A small nucleus around which the electrons circulate but there position is unknown

37
Q

Tell ME the difference between a molecule and a compound

A

A molecule is formed when 2 or more atoms join together chemically
A compound is a molecule that has 2 different elements

So all compounds are molecules but not all molecules are compounds

38
Q

A neutralisation reaction occurs when what are combined

Equal amount of acid and base

39
Q

Burning a chemical in the presence of oxygen is called a what reaction

A

A combustion reaction

40
Q

Isotopes of an element are different because of what

A

Because they have different numbers of protons
