What is an atom?
Smallest particle possible of an element
1 of 28
What is a molecule?
Fixed number of atoms covalently bonded together
2 of 28
What is a Element?
a substance made up of atoms with the same atomic number ( proton number )
3 of 28
What is a compound?
a substance made up of two or more elements bonded together
4 of 28
What is a Mixture?
A combination of different substances not bonded to one another
5 of 28
What is the relative mass of a proton
proton= 1
6 of 28
What is the relative mass of a neutron?
neutron= 1
7 of 28
what is the relative mass of an electron?
electron= 1/1836
8 of 28
What is the relative charge of a proton?
proton= +1 heavy and posotive
9 of 28
What is the relative charge of a neutron?
neutron= 0 heavy and neutral
10 of 28
What is the relative charge of a electron?
electron= -1 have hardly any mass and are negatively charged
11 of 28
What is the Mass Number?
The number of protons and neutrons
12 of 28
What is the Atomic Number?
The number of protons
13 of 28
Describe a nucleus
1) in the middle of the atom 2) contains protons and neutrons 3) has a positive charge because of the protons 4) the whole mass of an atom contained in nucleus 5) it is tiny
14 of 28
Describe an electron
1) electrons move around the nucleus in energy levels called shells 2) negatively charged 3) are tiny but their orbitals cover a large space 4) small mass
15 of 28
What is the number of protons equal to?
Number of protons = number of electrons
16 of 28
What is an ion?
When some electrons are added or removed from an atom becomes charged and then it is an ion
17 of 28
Explain what is meant by the term isotope
Isotope means atoms of the same element which have different number of protons but the same number of protons.
18 of 28
Explain what is meant by Relative Atomic Mass
Relative atomic mass is the weighted average mass of the isotopes of an element measured on a scale on which a carbon 12 atom has a mass of exactly 12 units
19 of 28
How are electrons arranged?
Electrons are arranged in energy levels ( or shells ) around the nucleus
20 of 28
Where is a low energy electron located?
Close to the nucleus
21 of 28
Where is a high energy electron located?
Far away from the nucleus
22 of 28
How many electrons in each energy level?
1) 2 2) 8 3) 8 4) 18
23 of 28
What is the group on the periodic table ?
The group goes down and is the number of electrons in the outer energy level
24 of 28
What is the period in the periodic table?
The period goes across and is the number of energy levels
25 of 28
Why do elements in any one group have similar chemical properties?
Because they have the same number of electrons in their outer shell.
26 of 28
Why are noble gases un-reactive?
They are un-reactive because they have a full energy level of electrons
27 of 28
Why do elements react with other elements?
to gain a more stable electron configuration
