Compounds
Contain two or more elements, chemically combined in fixed proportions (a certain amount of one element with a certain amount of another). Formed from elements by chemical reactions. Can only be separated by chemical reactions.
1 of 9
Mixtures
Contain two or more elements or compounds not chemically combined together. The chemical properties of each substance in a mixture are unchanged. Mixtures can be separated using physical processes, eg. filtration, distillation.
2 of 9
J. J. Thomson
Plum Pudding Model: Suggested that the atom is a ball of positive charge with negative electrons embedded within it.
3 of 9
Rutherford
Nuclear Model (Alpha Particle Scattering Experiment): concluded that the mass of an atom was concentrated at the centre (nucleus) and that the nucleus was positively charged. Replaced Plum Pudding Model.
4 of 9
Niels Bohr
Adapted the nuclear model by suggesting that electrons orbit the nucleus at specific distances. These theoretical calculations agreed with experimental observation.
5 of 9
Atomic Number
Number of protons (equal to the number of electrons)
6 of 9
Mass Number
Number of protons + neutrons
7 of 9
Isotopes
Atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons
8 of 9
Ion
An atom that has lost or gained electrons. Metals will lose electrons to become + ions, non-metals will gain electrons to become - ions.
