  • What are the factors that affect the rate of reaction?
    Concentration, temperature, surface area, catalyst, and pressure
  • How does high concentration of reactants affect the rate of reaction?

    It increases the rate because there are more particles available to collide
  • What effect does increasing temperature have on the rate of reaction?

    It gives particles more energy, making them move faster and collide more often
  • How does surface area influence the rate of reaction?

    Breaking a solid reactant into smaller pieces increases the surface area for collisions
  • What is a catalyst?

    A substance that speeds up a reaction without being consumed
  • How does pressure affect the rate of reaction involving gases?

    Increasing pressure reduces volume and forces gas molecules closer, increasing the rate
  • What is an example of a slow rate of reaction?

    The rusting of iron
  • What is an example of a fast rate of reaction?

    An explosion
  • What does collision theory state about the rate of reaction?

    The rate depends on how often and how hard the reacting particles collide
  • How does temperature affect particle collisions according to collision theory?

    Higher temperature means particles move quicker and collide more often
  • How does concentration affect collisions in a solution?

    A more concentrated solution has more reactant particles, increasing collision likelihood
  • What happens to gas particles when pressure is increased?

    Particles are squeezed together, leading to more frequent collisions
  • How does breaking a solid reactant into smaller pieces affect the reaction rate?

    It increases the total surface area, allowing for more frequent collisions
  • What is an atom?

    The smallest particle of an element
  • What is a molecule?

    A molecule is one or more atoms
  • What defines an element?

    An element is made up of one type of atom
  • What is a compound?

    A compound is when one or more atoms are chemically mixed together
  • What is a mixture?

    A mixture is when one or more atoms are mixed together
  • What is a period in the periodic table?

    A period is a horizontal row of the periodic table
  • What is a group in the periodic table?

    A group is a number of things together, typically a vertical column
  • What is the atomic number?

    The atomic number is the number of protons
  • What is the mass number?

    The mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons
  • What is an isotope?

    An isotope is an atom with the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons
  • What are protons?

    Protons are particles with a positive electric charge
  • What are electrons?

    Electrons are particles with a negative charge
  • What are neutrons?

    Neutrons are particles with a neutral (0) charge
  • What is the nucleus of an atom?

    The nucleus is the positive charge in the middle of an atom
  • What is a shell in atomic structure?

    A shell is a grouping of electrons around an atom
  • What is an ion?

    An ion is an atom that has lost or gained an electron

    Covalent
  • What is the bond type for H₂O?

    Covalent
  • What is the bond type for NaCl?

    Ionic
  • What is the bond type for HCl?

    Covalent
  • What is the bond type for N₂?

    Covalent
  • What is the bond type for NH₃?

    Covalent
  • How are carbon atoms held together in graphite?

    They are held together by bonds.
  • How many bonds does each carbon atom have in graphite?

    Each carbon atom has 3 bonds in graphite.
  • What types of bonds are mentioned in the study material?
    • Metallic bonds (metals)
    • Covalent bonds (non-metals)
    • Ionic bonds (metal and non-metal)
