Atoms have a radius of
0.1 nanometers (1 x 10-10 m)
The nucleus of an atom has a radius of
1 x 10-14 metres (1/10000 of the radius of an atom)
Atoms charge
Atoms don’t have an overall charge as it has equal protons and electrons
Name the region where most of the mass of the atoms is concentrated
The nucleus
What is the relative charge of an electron?
-1
Name the particles in the nucleus and give their relative charges
Neutrons (0) protons (+1)
Mass number
Number on top
Atomic number
Bottom number
Atoms are the
Smallest part of an element that can exist
What are isotopes
Have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons
How to work out the relative atomic mass
Sum of (isotope abundance x isotope mass number) / Sun of all abundance’s of all the isotopes
What is a compound?
Two or more elements chemically combined (in fixed proportions)
How to work out the number of atoms in a compound
The sum of All elements involved
Name NaCl
Sodium chloride
How many atoms in C2H4
6
If C2H4 and H2 react to form C2H6, has a new compound been made?
Yes because the atoms in C2H6 are in different proportions to the atoms in the previous
What is a reactant
Everything on the left
What is a product
Everything on the right
Balance Na + Cl = NaCl
2Na + Cl2 = 2NaCl
Balance NH2 + O2 = NO + H2O
4NH3 + 5O2 = 4NO + 6H2O
What is a mixture
Consists of two or more elements or compounds that aren’t chemically combined together
Outline the procedure for setting up a chromatography experiment
Draw a line in pencil near the bottom of a piece of chromatography paper. Place a spot of ink on the pencil line. Pour a shallow layer of water or solvent into a beaker. Place the chromatography paper into the container. The water should be below the pencil line and the ink spots. Place a lid in the container and wait for the solvent to rise to the top of the paper. Remove the paper from the container when the solvent had risen close to the top of the paper.
Explain the results of a chromatography experiment
Count the spots that the dyes have made and state how many dyes were involved in the specific spots. State which are mixtures. State which dyes contain at least one of the same dyes (no clue what that meant but there you go)
What is filtration?
Filtration deprecated insoluble solids from liquids
Insoluble
Can’t be dissolved in the liquid
Evaporation
Pour the solution into an evaporating dish. Slowly heat a solution. Solvent will evaporate. Solution gets more concentrated. Crystals will start to form. Keep hearing the evaporating disk until all you have left are dry crystals.
Two ways to separate soluble solids from solutions
Evaporation and crystallisation
Crystallisation
Pour the solution into an evaporating Dish and gently heat the solution. Some of the solvent will evaporate and the solution will get more concentrated. Once some of the solvent has evaporated or when you see crystal starter form (the point of crystallisation), remove the dish from the heat and leave the solution to cool. Salt will form crystals as it becomes insoluble in the cold highly concentrated solution. Filter the crystals out of the solution and leave them in a warm place to dry. You could use a drying oven or a desiccator.
Why can’t we use evaporation all the time?
You can only use it if the salt doesn’t decompose when it’s heated
What can we use to separate rock salt
Filtration or crystallisation
