Chemical Properties
A chemical property describes how an element or compounds interacts with other chemicals.
11 of 38
Chemical Change
A change that forms a new chemical.
12 of 38
Molecules
A group of atoms joined together.
13 of 38
Chemical Equation
A summary of a chemical reaction showing the reactants and products with their physical states.
14 of 38
Formulae
A way of describing a chemical that uses symbols for atoms. A formula gives information about the numbers of different atoms in the chemical.
15 of 38
Balance Edquation
An equation showing the formulae o the reactants and products. There are the same number of each kind of atom on both sides of the equation.

Toxic
A chemical that may lead to serious health risks or even death.
19 of 38
Corrosive
A chemical that may destroy living tissue on contact.
20 of 38
Bleach
A chemical that can destroy unwanted colours and kill bacteria.
21 of 38
Displacement Reactions
When a more reactive halogen will displace a less reactive halogen.
22 of 38
Harmful
A chemical that may cause damage to health if swallowed breathed or absorbed through the skin.
23 of 38
Flame Colour
A colour produced when a chemical is held in a flame. Some elements and their compounds give characteristic colours.
24 of 38
Line Specturm
A spectrum made up of a series of lines when the light from a flame test is split into different colours using a prism.
25 of 38
Spectroscopy
The use of instruments to produce spectra. The spectra are analysed to study elements/compounds.
26 of 38
Nucleus
The central part of an atom where the protons and neutrons are found. The mass of an atom is concentrated in its nucleus.
27 of 38
Protons
The particle present in the nuclei of atoms. Protons are positively charged.
28 of 38
Neutrons
An uncharged particle found in the nucleus of atoms.
29 of 38
Electrons
A tiny, negatively charged particle found orbiting the nucleus in an atom.

Energy Level
The electrons in an atom have different energies and are arranged at distinct energy levels.
33 of 38
Shell
A region in space around the nucleus of an atom where there can be electrons.
34 of 38
Electron Arrangement
The number and arrangement of electrons in an atom of an element
