Q

During a change of state, the temperature does not change even though it is still being heated, why?

A

The energy is being used to make the particles move more rather than to heat up

Q

What did John Dalton discover in 1803?

A

He found out that all matter was made of tiny particles called atoms

30
Q

What did J J Thompson discover and create in 1904

A

He discovered the electron and created the plum pudding model

31
Q

What did Rutherford discover in 1911?

A

He found that most alpha particles in the plum pudding model go through gold foil and a small amount get deflected. This shows that the mass is concentrated in the nucleus and also that the nucleus has a positive charge

32
Q

What did Niels Bohr discover in 1913?

A

That electrons orbit the nucleus in shells and that the nucleus is made out of protons

33
Q

What did Chadwick discover in 1932?

A

The neutrally charged particle called the neutron which is also found in the nucleus

34
Q

What do the following stand for?
‘s’
‘l’
‘g’
‘aq’

A

Solid
Liquid
Gas
Aqueous

35
Q

What is the formula for methane?

A

CH4

36
Q

Why are all elements neutrally charged?

A

Because they all have the same amount of protons, neutrons and electrons which balance out to an neutral charge

37
Q

What does the group number mean?

A

Number of outer shell electons

38
Q

What does the period number mean?

A

Number of shells

39
Q

What is the test for carbon dioxide?

A

42
Q

What is the test for chlorine?

A

Chlorine bleaches damp blue litmus paper and makes it turn white

43
Q

Why are some metals shiny and some dull?

Q

How do you extract mercury and silver?

A

Thermal decomposition

48
Q

How do you extract gold and platinum?

A

You don’t need to, they are found as elements
