Name 4 things about the nucleus of an atom
1. Middle of the Atom 2. Contains Protons and Neutrons 3. Positive charge 4. Almost whole mass of atom concentrated in nucleus
1 of 26
Name 4 things about the electrons in an atom
1. Move around Nucleus 2. Negatively charged 3. Virtually no mass 4. Arranged in shells
2 of 26
What decides in an atom what element it is?
The number of protons
3 of 26
State the 4 state symbols and say what they are
(s) - solid (g) - gas (l) - liquid (aq) - dissolved in water
4 of 26
Name 3 three elements that give off distinctive colours when heated
Lithium - Red flame Sodium - Yellow/Orange flame Potassium - Lilac flame
5 of 26
What is a Line spectrum?
When heated the electrons in an atom are excited and release energy as light. The wavelengths can be recorded as a line spectrum
6 of 26
Why do different elements emit different wavelengths of light?
Each element has a different electron arrangement affecting there wavelengths
7 of 26
How can Line spectrums be used to identify elements?
Each element has a different pattern of wavelengths which means a different line spectrum for each.
8 of 26
Name the three chemists in order of time who tried to organise the periodic table
Dobereiner, Newlands and Dmitri Mendeleev
9 of 26
On what side are the metals and non-metals on the periodic table?
Right hand side = non-metals Left hand side = metals
10 of 26
Is the proton number the higher or lower number on an element in the periodic table?
Lower
11 of 26
How many electrons are allowed in the 1st,2nd and 3rd shells?
1st = 2 2nd = 8 3rd = 8
12 of 26
What number do you use to work out the electron configuration of an element?
Proton Number - the lower number
13 of 26
How are ions made?
Ions are made when atoms gain or lose electrons by trying to get a full outer shell
14 of 26
What charge is an atom if they lose an electron while trying to gain a full outer shell?
Positive - it becomes a positive ion
15 of 26
What charge is an atom if they gain an electron while trying to gain a full outer shell?
Negative - it becomes a negative ion
16 of 26
Give an example of a group that will get rid of an electron to gain a full outer shell?
Group 1
17 of 26
Give an example of a group that will gain an electron to gain a full outer shell?
Group 7
18 of 26
What is ionic bonding?
It is a process in which an atom gives up an electron and another gains that same electron, both to gain full outer shells
19 of 26
What are Group 1 & 7 usually called?
Group 1 - The alkali metals Group 7 - The halogens
20 of 26
Name 3 similarities between the elements in group 1
1. One outer shell electron 2. Very reactive 3. Shiny when freshly cut
21 of 26
What happens when a group 1 element reacts with cold water?
They react vigorously and produce Hydrogen. The reaction makes an alkaline solution.
22 of 26
What happens when a group 1 element reacts with chlorine?
They react vigorously and produce colourless crystalline salts
23 of 26
Do the elements in group 1 become more or less reactive as you go down the group?
More reactive
24 of 26
Name a similarity between the elements in group 7
They all have seven outer electrons
25 of 26
Do the elements in group 7 become more or less reactive as you go down the group?
Less reactive
