  • What is the arrangement, movement and energy of a solid?

    Tightly packed, all touching, regular arrangement
    Vibrate on spot
    Low kinetic energy
  • What is the arrangement, movement and energy of a liquid?

    Close tighter, no regular pattern
    Flow easily, over one another, takes shape of container
    More kinetic energy than a solid
  • What is the arrangement, movement and energy of a gas?

    Very separated, no regular arrangement, takes shape of container
    Move freely at high speeds
    Lots of kinetic energy
  • Gas to liquid
    condensation
  • Liquid to solid
    freezing
  • Solid to liquid
    melting
  • Liquid to gas
    evaporation
  • Gas to solid

    deposition
  • Solid to gas
    sublimation
  • Radius of an atom
    1x10^-10m
  • What is the nucleus' size in relation to the atom?
    1/10000
  • How has the atom developed over time?

    Democritus claimed an atom cannot be split
    John dalton stated that atoms were tiny particles
    Thompson discovered electrons and proved atoms can be split
    Rutherford developed the nuclear model with a concentrated mass in the nucleus with electrons orbiting
    Bohr discovered electrons travel along shells
    Chadwick devised an experiment show show the existence of neutrons
  • Describe the alpha particle scattering experiment

    Rutherford
    Positive alpha particles were fired at gold foil
    Most passed through
    Showing the atom is most empty space
    Some very deflected and some bounced back
    Repelled by a positive nucleus
    Small dense positively charged nucleus at centre
  • How to calculate the number of protons
    equals atomic number
  • How to calculate the number of electrons
    equals the number of protons
  • How to calculate the number of neutrons
    mass number - atomic number
  • Structure of the atom
    protons and nuetrons are located in the nucleus, electrons are distributed about the nuclus to make the atom
  • Relative mass of a proton
    1
  • Relative mass of neutron
    1
  • Relative mass of electron
    Almost 0
  • Charge of proton

    +1
  • Charge of neutron
    0
  • Charge of electron

    -1
  • What is the atomic number?
    number of protons
  • What is the mass number
    Number of protons and neutrons
  • What is an isotopes

    Atoms of the same element can have different numbers of neutrons
  • What is the relative atomic mass?
    An average mass of isotopes making up an element and how much of each element there is.
  • How are elements arranged on the periodic table?
    By atomic number in groups and periods
  • How do you deduce the electronic configuration of the first 20 elements?

    Group - electrons in outer shell
    Period - amount of shells

    2.8.8.2
  • How to known is an element is a metal or non metal from the period table?
    Step from boron
  • How to calculate relative atomic mass

    total mass of atoms/total number of atoms
  • How do isotopes of an element differ?
    Because isotopes of an element have different numbers of neutrons, they also have different mass numbers.
  • Isotopes all have similar what ?
    Chemical properties
  • What does an element look like?
    Atoms of uniform look
  • What does compound mean?
    Two or more elements combined together
  • What is a mixture

    A combination of two or more substances that are not chemically combined
  • Difference between metals and non metals

    Metals -
    high melting point
    ductile
    good conductor
    magnetic
    shiny

    Non metals -
    low melting point
    brittle
    poor conductors
    low density
  • Properties of metals
    Shiny luster
    high malleability
    High ductility
    electrical conductor
    thermal conductivity.
  • Properties of non metals

    Not malleable
    Not ductile
    not shiny
    poor conductors of heat and electricity
    brittle
  • How was the periodic table developed by Mendeleev?

    Ordered in atomic mass
    Left gaps where nothing fit
    Followed a repeated pattern
