  • C1.1 Fundamental Ideas
    • Atoms
      • Nucleus made of protons and neutrons
      • Have surrounding shells which electrons move around
      • Relative charges: Proton = +1 Neutron = 0 Electron = -1
      • No. of electrons = No. of protons
      • Atomic No. = No. of protons
      • Mass No. = No. of protons + neuctrons
    • Periodic Table
      • Elements in the same group have the same No. of electrons in outer shell and so gives them similar properties
      • Elements in group 0 are noble gases. They are unreactive because the have full outer shells
      • Group 1 metals:   Metal + water -> metal hydroxide + hydrogen
      • Group 1 metals:  Metal + oxygen -> metal oxide
    • Bonding
      • Ionic bonding: transfer electrons, when a metal and non metal reacts, metal ion +, negative ion -
      • Covalent bonding : share electrons, 2 non metals, form compound
      • Mass of products = mass of reactants
