What are all substances made of?
Atoms
What is an atom?
The smallest part of an element which can exist.
Roughly how many elements?
100
What is a compound?
Compounds contain two or more elements chemically combined in fixed proportions
What’s group 1 called in the periodic table?
Alkali metals
What’s group 7 called in the periodic table?
Halogens
What’s group 0 called?
Noble gases
What is a mixture?
A mixture consists of two or more elements or compounds not chemically combined together.
Where would you use filtration?
Separating a solid from a liquid.
Where would you use simple distillation?
Evaporating 2 liquids with really different boiling points.
Where would you use fractional distillation?
Evaporating and separating more than 2 liquids with similar boiling point
What is crystallisation?
Separates a soluble solid from a liquid.
What is chromatography?
A method to separate different dyes in an ink.
What does soluble mean?
Able to be dissolved, especially in water
Method of paper chromatography - practical
- Draw a line near the bottom of the paper in pencil (as they’re insoluble) - Add a spot of ink and put paper in solvent (water) (ink shouldn’t touch solvent) - Place a lid to stop solvent from evaporation - The solvent seeps up, carrying the ink and each will love at a different rate - Take the paper out and leave to dry
Why might a scientific model be changed?
New experimental evidence
Before the discovery of the electron what were atoms thought to be?
Atoms were thought to be tiny spheres that could not be divided.
What discovery of led to the plum pudding model?
Electron
What does the plum pudding look like?
Sea of positive charge with negative electrons inside.
What did the results from the alpha particle scattering experiment lead to?
The mass of an atom was concentrated at the centre (nucleus) and that the nucleus was charged.
What replaced the plum pudding model?
Nuclear model
Who adapted the nuclear model?
Niels Bohr
What did Bohr discover?
Electrons orbit the nucleus at specific distances.
What is the name of the divided up positive charge?
Protons
