Move around the nucleus in electron shells and are negatively charged
Relative charges of protons, neutrons and electrons
Proton : 1
Neutron : 1
Electron : very small , almost 0
Relative mass of protons , neutrons and electrons
Protons : +1
Neutrons : 0
Electrons : -1
Atomic number
The number of protons in an atom
Atomic mass
The total number of protons and neutrons in an atom
Element
An element is a substance that only contains one type of atom and it can't be broken
Isotope
An isotope is an element with the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons
Examples of an isotope
Carbon-12Carbon-13
6 protons 6 protons
6 electrons 6 electrons
6 neutrons 7 neutrons
Relative Atomic Mass
Is an average mass taking into account the different masses and abundances of all isotopes that make up an element
Formula for Relative Atomic Mass
Relative Atomic Mass =sum of (isotope abundance x isotope mass No)
-------------------------------------------
sum of abundance of all isotopes
Compound
A compound is a substance formed from 2 or more elements that are chemically bonded together
A compound formed from chemical reactions
carbon + oxygen --> carbon dioxide
Rutherford model of the atom
Rutherford's model was the nuclear model.He used the alpha particle experiment and found that some particles passed through , some deflected and some deflected backwards
How did Rutherford prove the plum pudding model was wrong ?
From the plum pudding model, they expected particles tom pass through.Most particles went through, some passed through empty space
What did Niels Bohr model suggest?
Niels Bohr's model suggested that all electrons were contained in shells and he proposed that electrons orbit the nucleus in fixed shells
What did James Chadwick discover?
James Chadwick carried an experiment that provided evidence for neutral particles in the nucleus
How many electrons can be on each outer shell?
2 on the first shell
8 on the second shell
8 on the third shell
What happens when metals react?
When metals react they can form positive ions
Where are metals on the periodic table?
They are on the left side of the periodic table , towards the bottom
What happens when non-metals react?
Non-metals dont form positive ions
How do atoms react to form a full outer shell?
They share , lose or gain electrons to form a full outer shell
Why do metals at the bottom of the periodic table have a weak attraction?
The outer shell electrons are further away from the nucleus
Why do non-metals have a strong attraction?
Non-metals feel a strong attraction because they are close to the nucleus so it is easier for them to either share or gain electrons to get a full outer shell
Properties of metals
Metals are strong , hard to break but can be bent , they have a high melting and boiling points and they are good conductors of heat and electricity
Properties of non-metals
Non-metals have a low density , are brittle and are poor conductors of heat and electricity
Mixture
A mixture consists of different substances that are not chemically bonded together
Filtration
Removes large insoluble particles from a liquid
Evapouration
Evapouration leaves behind crystals of a dissolved substance if its heated gently
Distillation
Distillation is condensing evapourated solvent and collecting it
Fractional distillation
Fractional distillation can separate liquids due to their different boiling points
Chromotography
Chromotography causes substances to rise up paper due to cappilary action and light particles move further up
Mendeleev's periodic table
Mendeleev left gaps for undiscovered elements
He switched the orders of some elements and arranged elements in order of atomic mass
Modern periodic table
Elements are arranged in order of atomic number
They are organised in groups and periods
Elements with similar chemical properties are grouped together in groups
What did John Dalton describe atoms as ?
Solid spheres and different spheres made up different elements
