?
Which two particles are found in the nucleus of an atom?
Protons and Neutrons
1 of 32
What is the connection between the number of electrons in the highest energy level of an atom (the outer shell) and the group the element is in?
The periodic table groups the elements in terms of electronic structure. Elements in the same group have the same number of electrons in their highest energy level (outer shell) and this gives the similar chemical properties.

What is an alloy?
A mixture of a metal with at least once other substance or element
10 of 32
Why is pure iron soft and malleable?
Because the layers are easily able to slide over each other
11 of 32
Why are most metals in everyday use e.g. copper and aluminium, mixed with small amounts of other metals?

16 of 32
What are the major environmental concerns over releasing carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere
Acid rain and global warming
17 of 32
What name is given to the process by which hydrocarbons are broken down into smaller, more useful molecules?
Cracking
18 of 32
What name is given to unsaturated hydrocarbons?
Alkenes
19 of 32
What is the chemical test for alkenes?
