Chemical bonds
39
What happens to the atoms in a metal and non metal when they join formign a compound.
The metal atoms lose electrons forming positive ions and the non-metal atoms gain electrons forming negative ions
40
Whatbis ionic bonding
When a metal and non-metal is chemically joined through a reaction. They oppositely charged ions are strongly attracted to each other. This is ionic bonding
41
What is a molecule

48
Are mixtures chemically binded? What does this mean in terms of the difficulty to seperate them?
Mixtures arent chemically bonded and so they are easy to seperate
49
Give 5 ways mixtures can be seperated
Filtration Crystalisation Simple distillation Fractional distillation Chromatography
50
What is crude oil
A mixture of different length hydrocarbon molecules
51
What does papar chromotagrophy seperate
Seperates different dyes in an ink
52
Explain the process of paper chromotagrophy
Draw a line near the bottom of the filter paper using a pencil because its insolube and wont disolve in the solvent Add a spot of ink to the line and place the sheet in a beaker of solvant. Make sure the ink isnt touching the solvant as you dont want it to dissolve into it Place a lid on top of the container to stop the solvent from evaporating The solvent seeps up the paper carrying the ink with it Each different dye in the ink will move up at a different rate so they will seperate out. When the solvent has newrly reached the top of the filter paper take it out the beaker and leave it to dry
53
If any of the inks are insolube during chromotography what will happen
If a dye is insolube theyll stay on the base line
54
What is the word for the end result of the pattern created dueing chromatography
Chromatogram
55
When is filtration used
If your product is an insolube solid that needs to be seperated from a liquid mixture For purification. To seperate solid impurities
56
If a solid can be dissolved what is it described as
Solube
57
What are the two methods used to seperate solube solids from solutions
Evaporation and crystallisation
58
Describe the process of crystallisation to seperate a solube salt from a solution
Pour the solution into an evaporating dish and heat the solution. Some of the solvent will evaporate making the solutiin more concentrated When you see crystals start to form remove the dish from the heat and leave it to cool The salt should start to form cyrtals as it becomes insolube Filter the crystals out of the solution and leave them to dry in a hot place
59
What is rock salt made out of
Sand and salt
60
Describe the process of filtration to seperate rock salt
Grinf the mixture of rock salt until fine so it will be easily dissolvable Put the mixture in the water and stir The salt will dissolve but the sand wont. Filter the mixture using filter paper. The grains of salt will fit through however the sand wont so the sand will be collected on the paper instead
61
What are the two types of distillation
Simple and fractional
62
What is simple distillation used for
Used for seperating out a liquid from a solution
63
What is one negative about simple distillation
You can only dissolve substances that have boiling points that are very far from eachtoher. This is because if the temperature rises about the temperature of the boiling point of the substance with the highest BP, they will mix again
64
Explain the process of simple distillation
Heat the solution. Make sure to have a themometre inside the beaker as temperature csnt rise abiut the boiling point if the substance with the highest boiling point The liquid with the lowest boiling ooint will evaporate first The vapour travels through the condenser and the vapour is condensed (back into a liquid) as it is cooled The solution with the higher boiking point will be left behind.
65
What is simple distillation commonly used to seperate
Salt from sea water to get pure water
66
What is Fractional distillation is used to seperate
Used to seperate a mixture if liquids
67
Describe hte peocess of fractional distillation with crude oil
Put the mixture in a flask and place a fractionating collimn on top Heat the mixture. The different liquids will have different boiling points so will seperate out at different temperatures. The liquid with the lowest boiling point evaporates first. When the themometre at the top of the fractionating collumn reaches the temperature of the boiling point of the liquid it will reach the top of the collumn. When the first liquid has been collected raise the temperature so the liquids with higher boiling points will evaporate quicker.
68
What was john deltons theory about the atom
Atoms were solid spheres, different spheres made up different elements.
69
What model did j j thompsam discover and what was it
Plum pudding model- the atam was a ball of positive charge with electrons stuck in it
70
How did rutherfood show the plum pudding model was wrong
Fired alpha particles at a thin sheet of gold. If the plum pudding model was correct the alpha particles would all pass through the sheet. However some were deflected and some even rebounded back.
71
What did rutherford discover about the atom and explain it.
He discovered the nuclear model of the atom- tint positively charged nucleus at the centre where most the mass is. A cloud of negative electrons surrounded the nucleus. So most of the atom was empty space apart from the positvely charged nucleus which rebounded the alpha waves.
72
What did bohhr discoever about the atom
Electrons orbit the nucleus in fixed forms. Each shell is a fixed distance from the nucleus
73
What did james chadwick discover about the atom
He discoevered neutral particles in an atom which are called neutrons. This is the model we use tiday
74
In what way is the periodic table ordered and why
In order of increasing of atomic (proton) number. This means the elements have repeating patterns of properties in the elements
75
How does the reactivity change in group 7
Becomes less reactive the further you go down the group
76
How does the reactivity change in group 1
Reactivity increases further you go down from group
77
Where are non-metals located in the periodic table
Far top right of the periodic table
78
give 3 properties of metals
Strong and hard to break however is malleable, can be hammered into place Great conductor of electricity High boiling and melting points
79
3 features of non-metals
Dull Brittle and have a low density Generally dont conduct electricity
80
What are group 1 elements also known as
Alkali metals
81
Give two physical features of the alkali metals
Soft and low density
82
Give 3 trends alkali metals have when going down group 1

+1 ions
84
What do alkali metals form when they react
Ionic compounds
85
What happens when alkali metals areplaced into water
React vigorously

When lithium and sodium react with oxygen what do they form
Lithium and sodium oxide
88
What are group 7 elements
Halogens which are all non-metals
89
What is fluorine. Reactivity,colour.
Fluorine is a very reactive posionoess yellow gas
90
What is chlorine. Reactivity, colour.
Fairly reactive dense green gas
91
What is bromine. Reactivity, colour.
Bromine is a dense poisoness red-brown liquid
92
What 3 things happen when you go doen the group 7 explain
Becomes less reactive - harder to gain an extra electron; because the outer shell is firther from the nucleus Higher melting and boiling points Higher relative atomic mass
93
How do halogens form molecular conpounds
They share electrons via covalent bonding with other non-metals to achieve a full outer shell. The compounds that form when halogens react with non-metals all have simple molecular structures.
94
What do halogens form when reacting with metals
Ionic bonds, 1- ions called halides
95
What are group 0 elements known as
Noble gases
96
what colour are all group 0 elements
colourless
97
how many electrons do group 0 elements have on their outer shell
8
98
what happens to the boiling points as you go down noble gases
boiling points increase
99
why is their an increase in boiling point when you go down noble gases
due to an increase in the number of electrons in each atom leading to greater intermolecular forces between them which need to be broken.
