C1 1.1 and C1 1.2 Flash Cards


?
Why do atoms have a neutral charge?
Because the positive charge on the protons and the negative charge on the electrons cancel each other out
1 of 20
Name the two sub-atomic particles in the nucleus of an atom
Protons and Neutrons
2 of 20
Why does aluminium react with iron oxide?
Because aluminium is higher up in the reactivity series
3 of 20
Why do all atoms in the same group have similar chemical properties?
Because they all have the same number of electrons in their outer shell.
4 of 20
Why are all group 0 atoms unreactive?
Because they all have a full outer shell
5 of 20
How many electrons can you fit on each shell around the nucleus of an atom?
2 electrons on the first (inner shell), then 8 on the second and third shell
6 of 20
How do you work out the mass of an atom?
Mass number= Number of protons + Number of neutrons
7 of 20
What types of substances are made up of atoms?
All substances are made up of atoms
8 of 20
How many types of atoms do elements contain?
Elements contain only one type of atom
9 of 20
What does an atom consist of?
An atom has a nucleus of protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons
10 of 20
How do you work out the number of neutrons in an atom?
Number of Neutrons= Mass number - atomic number
11 of 20
How do you find the atomic number?
Atomic number= Number of protons/electrons (as they are equal)
12 of 20
How are elements arranged in the periodic table?
In the order of their atomic number
13 of 20
What is a compound?
A mixture of different types of atoms joined together
14 of 20
When elements are arranged in columns in the periodic table, what are these columns called?
The columns in the periodic table are known as the 'groups'
15 of 20
What type of electrical charge do Neutrons have?
Neutrons have no electrical charge. They are neutral
16 of 20
What holds the atoms tightly together in compounds?
Chemical bonds
17 of 20
What is an example of a compound that has just 2 different types of atoms?
Water, H20
18 of 20
What are the relative charges on the sub-atomic particles of an atom?
Electron- Negative, Proton- Positive, Neutron- Neutral
19 of 20
How do you find the number of protons or electrons?
They will always give you one or the other, and Protons= Electrons
