C1 1.1 - 1.5

?
What are all substances made from?
Atoms
1 of 25
How many different types of atoms are there
100
2 of 25
Around the nucleus, in energy levels, there are ________
Electrons
3 of 25
In the nucleus of an atom you can find _____ and _____
Protons / Neutrons (or vice versa)
4 of 25
What charge do electrons have?
- 1
5 of 25
What charge do protons have?
+ 1
6 of 25
What charge do neutrons have?
0
7 of 25
Why are atoms always neutral?
The electron number = proton number so they cancel each other out. Neutrons have a zero charge also so overall there is no charge.
8 of 25
What can proton number also be called?
Atomic Number
9 of 25
How do you calculate mass number?
proton number + neutron number
10 of 25
What is the pattern for the first three energy levels?
2,8,8
11 of 25
What do atoms in the same group share in common?
The same number of electrons on their outermost energy level
12 of 25
What is special about neon and argon?
They are nobel gases (they have full outermost shells).
13 of 25
How are ions formed?
When a metal bonds with a non-metal
14 of 25
What charge do metal ions form?
positively charged ions
15 of 25
What charge do non-metal ions form?
negatively charged ions.
16 of 25
What is the name of the bond between the metal and non-metal ions?
Ionic bond
17 of 25
Why do the metal and non-metal compounds have no overall charge?
the charges of the ion cancel each other out.
18 of 25
How are covalent bonds formed?
When two or more non-metals bond.
19 of 25
What is a covalent bond?
When two + non-metals share their electrons on their outermost shells.
20 of 25
Metal ions form _____ ions because they ______ one or more electrons when they bond with a non-metal
positive / lose
21 of 25
Non-metals atoms ______ electrons in the reaction, forming ______ ions
gain / negative
22 of 25
When non-metals combine with each other, they form ______ bonds. Their atoms _____ electrons
covalent / share
23 of 25
What happens in a positive test for hydrogen gas?
A lightened wooden splint makes a popping sound
24 of 25
Why must all symbol equations be balanced?
Atoms cannot be created or destroyed in chemical reactions.
