\what is an element?
a substance that can’t be broken down into any other substance
- made up of 1 an atom that can bond together
what are compounds?
made up of atoms of 2 or more elements chemically bonded together
- atoms of elements react in chemical reactions to from compounds
how are compounds separated?
what is a mixture?
a substance that contains 2 or more different elements or compounds
- NOT chemically bonded
how are mixtures separated?
by physical processes such as filtration distillation
- don’t involve chemical reactions —->
so the elements and compounds don’t change (they are only separated from each other)
what are molecules made of?
one or more atoms that have bonded together
- those atoms can be the same element or different
what is a diatomic molecule?
2 atoms
what is filtration?
method for separating insoluble solid from a liquid
what is crystalisation?
- used to form solid crystals from a solution
- used to separate soluble solid from a liquid
what is simple distillation used for?
used to separate a liquid from a solid
what is fractional distillation used for?
used to separate a mixture of different liquid
- these liquids must have different boiling point
what is chromatography used for?
to separate substances based on their different solubilities
- is used to separate mixtures of more than 1 soluble solvent.
what are all substances made of?
atoms
what is atomic mass?
protons + neutrons
what is atomic number?
protons
what are the 3 subatomic particles
protons, neutron and electrons
what are atoms?
the smallest part of an element that can exist
what is charge and mass of protons?
charge = +1
mass = 1
what is the charge and mass of neutrons?
charge = 0
mass = 1
what is the charge and mass of electrons?
charge = -1
mass = 1/2000
how do you work out the number of electrons?
electrons = number of protons
how do you work out the number of neutrons
atomic mass- atomic number
what are protons neutrons and electrons? where are they found?
they subatomic particles
protons and neutrons found in nucleus
electrons found on energy shells
what does subatomic mean?
inside an atom
