What are atoms?
Smallest part of an
element
that can exist
View source
What do chemical symbols represent?
An
atom
of an
element
View source
How are compounds formed?
By
chemical reactions
between
elements
View source
What do chemical reactions involve?
Formation of new
substances
and
energy change
View source
What do compounds contain?
Two or more
elements
in fixed
proportions
View source
How can compounds be represented?
By
formulae
using
atomic symbols
View source
What is the formula for hydrochloric acid?
HCl
View source
How can compounds be separated?
Only by
chemical reactions
View source
What is a mixture?
Two or more
substances
not
chemically
combined
View source
What happens to the chemical properties in a mixture?
They
remain
unchanged
View source
How can mixtures be separated?
By
filtration
,
crystallisation
, and
distillation
View source
What are the processes used to separate mixtures?
Filtration
,
crystallisation
,
distillation
,
chromatography
View source
What is the first model of the atom?
Atoms were thought to be tiny
indivisible
spheres
View source
What did the discovery of the electron lead to?
The
plum pudding model
of the atom
View source
What did the alpha particle scattering experiment conclude?
The mass of an atom is concentrated in the
nucleus
View source
What was aimed at the gold foil in the scattering experiment?
A beam of
alpha particles
View source
What happened to some alpha particles in the experiment?
They were
deflected
at different angles
View source
What did the deflection of alpha particles indicate?
Presence of a small
positive charge
in the
nucleus
View source
Who suggested that electrons orbit the nucleus?
Neil
Bohr
View source
What did later experiments reveal about the nucleus?
It can be
subdivided
into smaller particles
View source
What are protons?
Particles with a
positive
charge in the nucleus
View source
What did James Chadwick provide evidence for?
The existence of
neutrons
in the nucleus
View source
What is the atomic number?
The number of
protons
in an atom
View source
Do all atoms of a particular element have the same number of protons?
Yes
,
they
do
View source
How do atoms of different elements differ?
They have different numbers of
protons
View source
What is the relative charge of a proton?
+
1
View source
What is the relative charge of a neutron?
0
View source
What is the relative charge of an electron?
-1
View source
What is the overall charge of an atom?
0
, due to equal
protons
and
electrons
View source
What is the radius of an atom?
About 0.1
nm
View source
How does the radius of a nucleus compare to an atom?
Less than
1/10,000
of the atom's radius
View source
What holds almost all the mass of an atom?
The
nucleus
View source
What is the mass number?
Sum of
protons
and
neutrons
in an atom
View source
What are isotopes?
Atoms of the same
element
with different
neutrons
View source
How is relative atomic mass shown in the periodic table?
As an average value considering
isotopes' abundance
View source
How do you calculate relative atomic mass from isotopes?
Use the formula:
((mass x abundance) ÷ 100)
View source
What is the relative atomic mass of carbon with isotopes carbon-14 and carbon-12?
12.4
View source
Where do electrons occupy in an atom?
Lowest available
energy levels
closest to
nucleus
View source
What does the electronic structure of an atom indicate?
How many
electrons
are in each
shell
View source
What is the electronic structure of sodium?
2, 8, 1
