Q

What does it mean if an element is a noble gas?

A

It means they’re stable and I reactive (they’re outer shell is full)

16
Q

What is the top number on an element on the periodic table called?

A

The mass number

17
Q

What is the mass number of an electron?

A

The total number of protons and neutrons

18
Q

What is the bottom number on an element on the periodic table called?

A

The atomic number

19
Q

What is an atomic number?

A

The number of protons ( which is also the number of electrons)

20
Q

How do you work out the number of neutrons in an atom?

A

Subtract the atomic number from the mass number

21
Q

What do electrons occupy?

22
Q

When chemical elements react, atoms form chemical bonds with other atoms to form what?

23
Q

What is a compound?

A

Atoms joint together

24
What is ionic bonding?
Ionic bonding is when the metal atoms lose electrons to form positive ions and the non metal atoms gain electrons to form negative ions.
25
What is the charge of a proton?
+1
26
What is the charge of a neutron?
0
27
What is the charge of an electron?
-1
28
What boning consists of a metal and a non metal?
Ionic bonding
29
What is the bonding when a non metal bonds with a non metal?
Covalent bonding
30
What is covalent bonding?
A covalent bond is when was atom shares an electron with another atom. Each atom has to make enough covalent bonds to fill up its outer shell.
31
Atoms are made in chemical reaction, true or false?
False, atoms aren't made or lost in a chemical reaction. They're just arranged in different ways
32
The atoms at the start of an equation are called what?
Reactants
33
The atoms at the end of an equation are called what?
Products
34
In an equation, there must be the same number of atoms on each side of the arrow, true or false?
True, the reactants and the products both have to be balanced
