Q

How to do filtration?

A

Put filter paper in a filter tunnel and pour the mixture through it. The liquid passes through the tiny pores in the filter paper and the solid is trapped in the filter paper.

Q

How to do crystallisation?

A

If you leave the solution for a few days or gently heat the water, then the liquid will evaporate. You have to make sure heating will not affect the chemical that is being crystallised. This will leave behind crystals of the solid. (aq) to (s).

Q

How to do fractional distillation?

A
  1. Evaporate mixture by heating. The one with the lower boiling point will evaporate more easily. 2. The liquid with the lowest boiling point will evaporate first and it will reach the top of the column and condense through the condenser. 3. When the first liquid has been collected, you raise the temperature until the next one reaches the top.

Q

How to do paper chomatography?

A
  1. Draw a pencil line near the bottom of chromatography paper. 2. Put dots of each colour on the pencil line. 3. Place the bottom of the paper into a solvent (a liquid that dissolve substances). 4. The solvent makes its way up the paper and dissolves the ink in the dots.

Q

Define mobile phase in paper chromatography

A

Does move - solvent

22
Q

What happened in 1897?

A

J. J. Thomson concluded that atoms were not tiny spheres and contained tiny negative particles and called them electrons and had an internal structure. The plum pudding model showed the atom as a ball of positive charge with electrons stuck in it.

23
Q

What happened in 1909?

A

Ernest Rutherford conducted the alpha particle scattering experiment. They fired positively charged alpha particles at an extremely thin sheet of gold. Most of the particles passed straight through without changing direction - atoms were mainly empty space. Some were deflected - the centre had a positive charge. Some bounced straight back - the centre had a great deal of mass - known now as the nucleus. Came up with the nuclear model.

24
Q

What did Neils Bohr discover?

A

Electrons orbit the nucleus at specific distances. Orbits are now called energy levels or shells. Positive charge is due to positive particles called protons. Updated nuclear model.

25
Q

What did James Chadwick discover?

A

The nucleus also contains neutral particles called neutrons. Updated nuclear model.

26
Q

Radius of an atom

A

0.1 nanometres (1 x 10^-10m)

27
Q

Radius of a nucleus

A

1 x 10^-14m

28
Q

Relative charge of proton, neutron and electrons

A

+1, 0, -1

29
Q

Relative mass of proton, neutron and electrons

A

1, 1, very small

30
Q

Where is the atomic number and what does it show?

A

At the bottom, shows the number of protons (and electrons).

31
Q

Where is the mass number?

A

At the top, total number of protons and neutrons.

32
Q

Define isotope

A

Atoms of an element with different number of neutrons and same number of protons.

33
Q

Define ions

A

Atoms which have an overall charge. They have gained or loss electrons. Positive ions - lost electrons. Negative ions - gained electrons.

34
Q

Define relative atomic mass

A

The average of the mass numbers of the different isotopes. Weighted for the abundance of each isotope (how common it is).

35
Q

How many electrons can each energy level hold?

A

2, 8, 8, 18

36
Q

Why do elements in a group have similiar chemical properties?

A

Have the same numebr of electrons in their outer energy shell.

37
Q

Who developed the first modern periodic table?

A

Dmitri Mendeleev

38
Q

How did Dmitri Mendeleev order the elements?

A

Started by arranging all the elements in order of increasing atomic weight. He switched the order of elements if he needed to so they fitted the patterns of other elements in the same group and left gaps where he thought an element was missing.

39
Q

How is the modern periodic table ordered now?

A

In order of atomic number (number of protons) and has noble gases.

40
Q

Why are noble gases unreactive?

A

They have a full outer energy level, which means it is energetically stable and do not need to lose or gain electrons.

41
Q

What happens to the noble gases as the relative atomic mass increases (down the group)?

A

The boiling point increases.

42
Q

How do group 1 elements react with oxygen?

A

Reacts rapidly as you go down the group.

43
Q

How do group 1 elements react with chlorine?

A

Reacts rapidly as you go down the group.

44
Q

How do group 1 elements react with water?

A

Reacts rapidly as you go down the group. Metal + water reacts to make metal hydroxide + hydrogen.

45
Q

Why do group 1 elements get more reactive down the group?

A

The outer electron becomes less attracted to the nucleus so is easier to lose. There is a greater distance.

46
Q

How do group 7 elements form molecules?

A

2 atoms are joined by a covalent bond.

47
Q

What is room temperature?

A

Around 20C

48
Q

What happens to the MP and BP in the group 7 elements?

A

Increases as you go down the group.

49
Q

What happens to the relative molecular mass in the group 7 elements?

A

Increases as you go down the group.

50
Q

What bonds form when the group 7 elements react with non-metals?

A

Covalent

51
Q

What bonds form when the group 7 elements react with metals and what do they end in?

A

Ionic, -ide (chloride)

52
Q

What happens to reactivity down group 7 and why?

A

Reactivity decreases because it becomes harder to gain an electron - greater distance from nucleus and shielding by internal electrons.
