  • What is an atom?

    An atom is the smallest part of an element (Can be divisible)
  • How are atoms represented
    Chemical Symbols
  • How many elements are there?
    Around 100
  • How are Compounds formed?
    Chemical Reactions
  • What is a Chemical Reaction?
    Formation of one or more new substances through energy change
  • What are Compounds?
    • Substance containing two or more elements
    • They are always chemically combined
    • They always have fixed proportions
  • How can compounds be separated?
    Chemical reactions
  • What is a mixture?
    Two (or more) Elements or compounds not chemically combined.
    The properties of each substance is unchanged
  • How can mixtures be separated?
    • Filtration
    • Crystallisation
    • Simple Distillation
    • Fractional Distillation
    • Chromatography
  • Describe the plum pudding model
    Ball of positive charge with electrons embedded in it
  • What was concluded during the Alpha Particle Scattering experiment?
    The mass of the atom was concentrated at the centre
    The nucleus was positively charged
  • What model replaced the plum pudding model?
    Nuclear model
  • How did Niels Bohr adapt the nuclear model?
    He suggested that electrons orbit the nucleus at specific distances

  • Why do atoms have no overall charge?
    The number of electrons is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus.
  • What is represented by the atomic number?
    The number of protons in the nucleus
