C4 - The Periodic Table
What is an electron?
Has a charge of -1 and a relative atomic mass of 0.0005
C4 - The Periodic Table
What is a proton?
Has a charge of +1 and a relative atomic mass of 1
C4 - The Periodic Table
What is the atomic number?
(BOTTOM NUMBER) The number of protons (or number of electrons)
C4 - The Periodic Table
What is the mass number?
(TOP NUMBER) Number of neutrons plus number of protons
C4 - The Periodic Table
What is the order of reactivity for Group 1?
As they go down the group, the reactivity increases (get more reactive)
C4 - The Periodic Table
What is the order of reactivity for Group 7?
As they go down the group, the halogens become less reactive

C4 - The Periodic Table
What are the processes in water purification?
Filtration, Sedimentation, Chlorination
C4 - The Periodic Table
What is filtration?
A layer of sand or gravel filters remaining small particles and sometimes removes microbes
C4 - The Periodic Table
What is sedimentation?
Chemicals are added to make solid particles and bacteria settle
C4 - The Periodic Table
What is chlorination?
Chlorine is added to kill remaining microbes
C4 - The Periodic Table
What pollutants are found in water?
Nitrates - from fertilisers via eutrophication Lead compounds - from water pipes to houses Pesticides - from spraying crops
C4 - The Periodic Table
What is a superconductor?
Materials which can conduct electricity with little or no resistance
C4 - The Periodic Table
What are the two types of superconductor?
Type I - metals Type 2 - alloys
C4 - The Periodic Table
What are the benefits of superconductors?
Loss free power transmission, superfast electronic circuits and powerful electromagnets
C4 - The Periodic Table
What are the difficulties with superconductors?
They only work at very low temperatures, limiting their use and superconductors that work at room temperature need to be developed.
C4 - The Periodic Table
What is the Period number?
(ROWS - ACROSS) Number of electron shells
C4 - The Periodic Table
What is the Group number?
(COLUMN - DOWN) Number of electrons in outer shell
C4 - The Periodic Table
What is an isotope?
An atom of the same element but with different mass numbers (different number of neutrons)
C4 - The Periodic Table
Give one example of an isotope…
Carbon-12 and Carbon-14

What did John Dalton do?
(1803) Said atoms where solid spheres and there was a different sphere for each element
