Atoms

The Mass Number = The Top Number

16

O

8

The Atomic Number = The Bottom Number

2 of 25

Isotopes

Isotopes are different atomic forms of the same elements, which have the SAME number of PROTONS

(but a DIFFERENT number of NEUTRONS)

3 of 25

Ions

Ions are electrically charged particles formed when atoms lose or gain electrons.

4 of 25

Ions

Metal atoms form positive ions,

while

non-metal atoms form negative ions.

METAL ATOMS LOSE ELECTRONS.

NON METAL ATOMS GAIN ELECTRONS.

5 of 25

Ionic compounds

Ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points.

6 of 25

Bonding

Sharing Elections = Covalent Bonding

Swapping Electrons = Ionic Bonding

7 of 25

Covalent Bonding

A Covalent bond is a strong bond between two non-metal atoms.

It consists of a SHARED pair of electrons

Calculations

Ar = Relative Atomic Mass (The Mass Number)

Mr = Relative Formula Mass (The sum of all the Ar's of a compound)

9 of 25

Calculations

Ar x No. of atoms (of the element)

Percentage of an = -------------------------------------------------------------- x100

element in a compound Mr (of the whole compound)

Calculations

Empirical Formula - Phosphorous Oxygen

1. Write the mass given 62g 48g

or percentage.

2. Mass ÷ Ar 62÷31=2 48÷16=3

3. Divide both numbers by

the smallest number 2÷2=1 3÷2=1.5

4. The ratio becomes the

solution. =P₂0

Calculating Mass in Reactions

60g of Mg reacts to give how much MgO?

1. Write the balanced equation 2Mg + 0₂ --> 2MgO

2. Work out Ar & Mr 48 80

48g of Mg reacts to make 80g of MgO

3. Divide amount (48) 1g of Mg reacts to make 1.67g of MgO

4. Multiply by amount you want (60) 60g of Mg reacts to make 100.2g of MgO

Rate of Reaction

Rate of reaction depends upon:

Concentration

Size of particles

Catalyst

Temperature

13 of 25

Speed of a reaction

There are 3 ways to measure the speed of a reaction:

  • Precipitation
  • Change in mass
  • Volume of gas given off
  • Rate of reaction = amount of product formed ÷ Time
14 of 25

Exo and Endo

EXOTHERMIC REACTIONS give out heat

ENDOTHERMIC REACTIONS take heat in

15 of 25

Exo

Some examples of EXOTHERMIC REACTIONS are:

  • Burning
  • Neutralisation reactions between acids and alkalis
  • The reaction between water and calcium oxide
16 of 25

Endo

Some examples of ENDOTHERMIC REACTIONS are:

  • Electrolysis
  • The reaction between ethanoic acid and sodium carbonate
  • the thermal decomposition of calcium carbonate in a blast furnace
17 of 25

Reversible Reaction

A reversible reaction is where the products of a reaction can themselves react to reproduce the original reactants.

18 of 25

The Haber Process

Hydrogen and Nitrogen are, at high pressure (200 Atmospheres), passed over an Iron catalyst at 450°C. Some of the Hydrogen and Nitrogen combine to form Ammonia (2NH₃), this ammonia is collected and the remaining Hydrogen and Nitrogen are re-used.

19 of 25

Haber Process

The forward reaction which makes ammonia is EXOTHERMIC.

Therefore the Yield is much better at Lower temperatures.

20 of 25

Haber Process

Haber Process = Low Temperature and High Pressure

21 of 25

Ammonia

Ammonia is used to make fertilisers, explosives, dyes, househoold cleaners and nylon.

22 of 25

Electrolysis of Copper

The electrical supply pulls electrons off at the anode and the copper goes into the solution as Cu²⁺ ions where they are offered electrons at the cathode, pure copper is then made at the cathode whilst all the impurities drop to the bottom.

23 of 25

Electrolysis

+ve Ions = Cations

-ve Ions = Anions
