C1 atomic structure Flashcards
(13 cards)
elements
contain only one type of atom
compound
contain two or more elements chemically bonded together
law of conservation of mass
total mass of products formed in a reaction is equal to the total mass of the reactants
mixture
two or more substances that are not chemically combined
fractional distillation
separates miscible liquids
uses a fractionating column
possible due to the different boiling points of liquids in the mixture
paper chromatography
separates mixtures of substances dissolved in a solvent
due to the different solubilities in the solvent used
protons
relative charge of +1
relative mass 1
neutrons
rel charge 0
rel mas 1
electrons
rel charge -1
rel mass almost 0
atomic number
number of protons
(number of electrons)
mass number
number of protons + number of neutrons
isotope
atom of the same element with different number of neutrons .
chemical properties same
physical properties can change
energy shells
2,8,8
number of electrons in outer shell determine how element reacts
