  • The radius of an atom is 0.1nm
  • Most of the mass is not in the shell of the atom, but in the centre
  • Atom components
    • Charge
    • Relative Mass
  • Overall charge of an atom
    No charge
  • Compound
    2 or more elements, chemically joined
  • Compounds
    • salt water
    • magnesium oxide
    • sodium chloride
  • The circled items are compounds because they have 2 or more elements chemically joined
  • Mass number

    Total number of protons and neutrons
  • Neutron number

    Atomic mass - proton number
  • Isotopes
    Elements with different number of neutrons but same number of protons
  • Balancing chemical equations
    1. Mg + O2 -> MgO
    2. Be + S -> BeS
    3. Be + F2 -> BeF2
    4. K + Cl2 -> 2KCl
  • Mixture
    Two or more elements together, not chemically joined and can be easily separated
  • Mixtures
    • Salt water
    • Sand and water
  • Ratio of elements in compounds

    • MgCl2 = 1:2
    • K2O = 2:1
  • Distillation
    Separation technique
  • Fractional distillation

    Separation technique
  • Chromatography
    Separation technique to separate inks in pens
  • Collecting salt from rock salt
    1. Grind the mixture
    2. Add water and stir
    3. Filter the mixture
    4. Evaporate the salt water
  • NaCl
    Sodium chloride, sodium and chlorine
  • MgO
    Magnesium oxide, magnesium and oxygen
  • MgS
    Magnesium sulfide, magnesium and sulfur
  • FeS
    Iron sulfide, iron and sulfur
  • Argon, neon, xenon, radon

    Noble gases
  • Noble gases

    • Full outer shell of electrons
  • The boiling points of the noble gases increase as you go down the group
  • Reactivity of alkali metals
    Increases as you go down the group
  • Sodium reacting with water

    sodium + water -> sodium hydroxide + hydrogen
  • Halogens
    • chlorine
    • fluorine
    • iodine
    • astatine
  • Balancing halogen reactions
    1. Br2 + 2KI -> 2KBr + I2
    2. Cl2 + 2NaI -> 2NaCl + I2
    3. F2 + KCl -> 2KF + Cl2
  • Properties of metals and non-metals

    • Metals: strong, low density, malleable, good conductors
    Non-metals: dull, brittle, poor conductors
  • James Chadwick discovered the neutron
  • Word equations for reactions

    sodium + chlorine -> sodium chloride
    lithium + iodine -> lithium iodide
    potassium + bromine -> potassium bromide
  • Groups in the periodic table are arranged according to their properties
  • Niels Bohr discovered that electrons orbit the nucleus in shells
  • Some of the gaps Mendeleev left have been filled as scientists have found the missing elements
  • The radius of an atom is 0.1nm
  • Most of the mass is in the centre of the atom, not the shell
  • Overall charge of an atom
    No charge
  • Compound
    2 or more elements, chemically joined
  • Compounds
    • salt water
