C1, C2, C3. Flashcards
What is an Ion?
An Ion is an atom or group of atoms that have lost or gained electrons.
What is a Isotope?
Different forms of the same element which have the same amount of protons but different amount of neutrons.
What is a Element?
Substances made up of atoms with the same amount of protons.
What is the Atomic Number?
The Atomic Number tells you the amount of protons / electrons in a atom.
What is the Mass Number?
The Mass Number tells you the total amount of protons + neutrons.
Describe the layout of a atom / nucleus.
The Nucleus is in the center of atoms and has a positive charge. It is also where pretty much all the mass can be found. Orbiting the Nucleus is negatively charged electrons.
What Combines to make a compound?
When elements react, atoms combine to make a compound.
What is a Mixture?
A Mixture in chemistry is a lot of different things mixed together.
Give an example of a Mixture.
Air is a mixture of gases mainly nitrogen, oxygen and carbon dioxide.
In the 1800s how were elements arranged?
Elements were arranged by atomic weight.
Now how are all of the elements in the periodic table arranged?
All of the elements in the periodic table are laid out in order of increasing atomic proton number.
What do Elements with similar properties form in the periodic table?
Elements with similar properties from columns.
What does the group number tell you?
How many electrons the atom has in its outer shell. For example group 7 elements all have 7 electrons in their outer shell.
What do Metals form when they react?
Metals form positive ions when they react.
What do Non-Metals form when they react.
Non-Metals normally form negative ions.
