?
What do most gases exist as?
molecules
1 of 29
What do scientists use to represent molecules?
Formulae
2 of 29
What do little numbers represent in formulae?
The number of atoms in the molecule
3 of 29
How are the atoms in molecules joined?
They are joined strongly together
4 of 29
How do you split up molecules?
Chemical reactions
5 of 29
Is it difficult or easy to spilt up molecules into seperate atoms?
Difficult
6 of 29
Why do gases diffuse?
Because their particles are not attracted to each other
7 of 29
What do gases consist of?
Tiny particles
8 of 29
How do particles diffuse?
The particles are seperate from each other and they move around quickly. As they move around they spread out or DIFFUSE

What is the atmosphere?
A layer of air that surrounds the Earth which contains gases that living things need, and helps to keep the Earth warm enough for life
10 of 29
What is the composition of the atomsphere?
78% Nitrogen, 21% Oxygen, 1% Argon, 0.04% Carbon dioxide
11 of 29
What has changed the atomsphere?
We have burnt fossil fuels and cut down trees which adds carbon dio

What is a molecule?
The smallest part of a substance that can take part in a chemical reaction
13 of 29
What is a polymer?
A long molecule made up of many small molecules joined together
14 of 29
What is a monomer?
A small molecule that can bond to others like itself to form a polymer
15 of 29
Name some natural polymers
Cotton, silk, rubber, wool
16 of 29
Name some synthetic polymers
PVC, polythene, polystyrene, polyester
17 of 29
How are natural polymers made?
In chemical reactions in plants and animals
18 of 29
How are synthetic polymers made?
By people and machines using chemical reactions in factories and science labs
19 of 29
Name a biologic polymer
DNA, protein
20 of 29
Why is copper strong?
Because the atoms are strongly attached to each other and are difficult to seperate
21 of 29
Why is copper bendy?
Because its atoms are arranged in layers so they slide over each other when you bend the copper
22 of 29
Why does copper conduct heat well?
Because the atoms are close together so when one atom vibrates it can easily pass on its vibrations to the next atom
23 of 29
Why does copper conduct electricity?
Because the electrons are free to move
24 of 29
How are the particles arranged in salts?
Alternately in rows. They are held together in a grid-like structure
25 of 29
Why is sodium chloride brittle?
Because of the regular arrangement, it is easy to break along certain lines of the pattern
26 of 29
What keeps the sodium and chlorine particles in place?
The strong attraction between them
27 of 29
What is the independent variable?
What we choose to change
28 of 29
What is the dependent variable?
What we measur e
