Red
11 of 32
Colour of copper ions in a flame test?
Green
12 of 32
Soluable
It will dissolve
13 of 32
Insoluable
It will not dissolve
14 of 32
Filtering
Used to remove solid particles to make a clear solution
15 of 32
Universal indicator
Tests the pH/ To identify acids, alkali and whether it is neutral
16 of 32
Colour of acid with universal indicator?
Red/Yellow/Orange
17 of 32
Colour of neutral with universal indicator?
Green
18 of 32
Colour of an alkali with universal indicator?
Blue/Purple
19 of 32
Precipitation reaction
When a solid is formed from 2 liquids
20 of 32
Barium chloride
Used to test for sulphate irons - It goes cloudy
21 of 32
Silver nitrate
Used to test for chloride ions - It goes cloudy
22 of 32
Hydrochloric acid
Used to test carbonate ions - It fizzes/makes bubbles
23 of 32
Lime water
Used to test for carbon dioxide - makes it go cloudy
24 of 32
Potassium Dichromate
Is used to test for ethanol (alcohol) colour change is from orange to green
25 of 32
Breathalyser
Used to see if someone has been drinking/Has alcohol in their system
26 of 32
Electron
Paricles in shells around the nucleus of an atom
27 of 32
Ionic bonding
1 atom gives electons to the other atom
28 of 32
Covalent bonding
Atoms share electrons
29 of 32
Lattice
Giant structure made up of lots of positive and negative ions
30 of 32
Type of compound with a high melting point
Ionic because very strong attraction between ions - lots of enegy is needed to make the particles move apart to form a liquid
31 of 32
Type of compoud with a low melting point
Covalent due to a weak attraction of molecules - not much energy is needed to make the particles to move apart to form a liquid
