  • This is good for higher and Foundation Tier double combined Trilogy and triple separate chemistry that's topics 1 to five atoms bonding quantitative chemistry and chemical and energy changes
  • Substances are made of atoms
  • Element
    Different types of atoms represented in the periodic table by a symbol
  • Compound
    Substance that contains two or more different types of atoms chemically bonded together
  • If there's no number after a symbol, there's an invisible 1
  • Chemical reaction
    Atoms change what they're bonded to and how they're bonded
  • Word equation
    Representation of a reaction using words
  • Chemical equation
    Representation of a reaction using symbols
  • Atoms are not created or destroyed in any chemical reaction, so the same number of each type of atom must be on both sides of the equation</b>
  • Balancing chemical equations
    Start with atoms only in compounds, then balance remaining atoms by putting numbers in front of elements/compounds
  • Mixture
    Any combination of different types of elements and compounds that aren't chemically bonded together
  • Solution
    Mixture of a solute (dissolved substance) and a solvent
  • Separation techniques
    1. Filtration
    2. Crystallization
    3. Distillation
  • Physical process

    No new substances are being made
  • States of matter
    • Solid
    • Liquid
    • Gas
  • Gases
    • Particles are far apart and move randomly, have the most energy and can be compressed
  • To melt or evaporate a substance

    Energy, usually in the form of heat, must be supplied to overcome the electrostatic forces of attraction between the particles
  • Breaking bonds does not occur in physical changes, only in chemical reactions
  • Atom models
    • JJ Thompson's plum pudding model
    • Rutherford's discovery of the nucleus and mostly empty space
    • Bohr's discovery of electron shells/orbitals
    • Chadwick's discovery of neutrons
  • Protons
    Positive charges in the nucleus
  • Electrons
    Negative charges orbiting the nucleus
  • Neutrons
    Neutral charges in the nucleus
  • Atomic number

    Number of protons in the nucleus
  • Mass number

    Number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus
  • Isotopes
    Atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons
  • Relative abundance
    Percentage of each isotope in a sample
  • Periodic table
    Organizes elements based on their properties
  • Development of the periodic table
    1. Ordered by atomic weight
    2. Grouped by properties (Mendeleev)
    3. Gaps predicted and later filled
  • Electron configuration
    Arrangement of electrons in shells/orbitals around the nucleus
  • Periodic table sections
    • Metals (left of staircase)
    • Nonmetals (right of staircase)
    • Transition metals
  • Group
    Column in the periodic table, indicates number of outer shell electrons
  • Group names
    • Group 1 (alkali metals)
    • Group 7 (halogens)
    • Group 0 (noble gases)
  • Alkali metals
    • Have one outer electron which is readily donated
    • Reactivity increases down the group
  • Halogens
    • Have seven outer electrons, need one more to be full
    • Reactivity decreases down the group
    • Boiling points increase down the group
  • Noble gases
    • Have full or empty outer shells, very unreactive
  • Ion
    Atom that has gained or lost electrons, no longer electrically neutral
  • Ion charges
    • Group 1 (+1)
    • Group 2 (+2)
    • Group 7 (-1)
    • Group 6 (-2)
    • Transition metals (variable)
  • Metallic bonding
    • Lattice of metal ions with delocalized electrons, good conductors
  • Ionic bonding
    Transfer of electrons between a metal and a nonmetal to form ions
  • Drawing ionic compound structures
    1. Use dot and cross diagrams to show electron transfer
    2. Ions must balance to form a neutral compound
