  • 1.Define the keyword atom.
    The smallest part of an element. 2. Define the keyword element.
    Made from only one type of atom.
  • 4. Explain what the mass number and atomic number tell us. Atomic number = Protons = Electrons Mass number = Protons + Neutrons in the nucleus
  • What is the mass of an electron? 1/ 2000 or Very small 10. What is the charge of an electron? - 1
  • 16. What is the maximum number of electrons that can fill the first shell? 2 17. What is the maximum number of electrons that can fill the second shell? 8
  • 19. What group of the periodic table is oxygen in and why? Group 6 as 6 electrons in outer shell. 20. What group of the periodic table is magnesium in and why? Group 2 as 2 electrons in outer shell 21. What group of the periodic table is chlorine in and why? Group 7 as 7 electrons in outer shell 22. Why are the noble gases all in group 0? Full outer shell of electrons.
  • James Chadwick
    Discovered that the nucleus of an atom contains neutrons
  • The atom has a tiny positive nucleus at its centre
  • The atom is mostly empty space
  • Plum pudding model
    Positively charged sphere with negatively charged electrons embedded in it
  • Alpha particles
    Particles that passed straight through the plum pudding model
  • Most of the alpha particles passed straight through
  • A small proportion of particles were deflected/scattered by large angles
  • Niels Bohr
    Suggested that electrons occupy energy levels (shells)
  • Define the keyword compound . Two or more different elements bonded together. 8. Define the state symbols (s), (l), (g), (aq). (s) = solid, (l) = liquid, (g) = gas, (aq) = aqueous 9. Describe simply what is meant by the state symbol (aq). Dissolved in water.
  • Define the keyword mixture . Two or more elements or compounds not chemically combined.
  • Which separating technique is used to obtain a pure dry solid crystal of a dissolved substance? Crystallisation
  • 5. What is the mass of a proton? 1
  • 7. What is the mass of a neutron? 1
  • What is the charge of a neutron? 0
  • 11. What fraction of the atomic radius, is the radius of the nucleus of an atom? 1/ 10,000 th
  • 17. Which separating technique is used to separate a mixture of colours or food additives? Chromatography
  • 18. Which separating technique is used to separate mixtures of liquids with different boiling points? Distillation
  • 19. What is the first stage of distillation? The mixture of liquids is heated
  • 20. What is the second stage of distillation? The substance with the lowest boiling point evaporates
  • 13. Why is separating a mixture a physical process ? They do not result in a chemical reaction.
  • 14. Name four methods of separating mixtures. Filtration, Crystallisation, Chromatography, Distillation.
  • 15. Which separating technique is used to separate a solid from a liquid? Filtration
