Q

Why is the valence shell important

A

When two atoms approach each other and react with each other it is their outer shells that come into contact first and it is therefore the electrons in their outer shells that are normally involved in any chemical reaction

17
Q

Dalton’s atomic theory of matter

A

All matter is composed of atoms indivisible and indestructible building blocks while all atoms of an element were identical different elements had Atoms of different size

18
Q

What are five families of the periodic table

A

Noble gas, halogens, alkali, alkali earth metals, hydrogen

19
Q

Metals

A

Solid at room temperature, shiny Lester, good conductors of heat and electricity, malleable can be hammered into sheets, ductile can be drawn into wires

20
Q

Nonmetals

A

Over half gases at room temperature, go Lester, usually poor conductors of heat and electricity, brittle, nonductile

21
Q

Metalloids

A

Solid at room temperature, maybe shiny or Dahl, may conduct electricity, poor conductors of heat, brittle, nonductile

22
Q

Physical change

A

A change in matter in which no new substancesare formed examples ripping paper, cutting oranges,

23
Q

Matter

A

What everything is made up of

24
Q

Chemical change

A

A change in matter in which at least one new substance with new properties is formed

25
Explain why the process of growing coffee is hard to classify as physical or chemical change
Boiling coffee involves a chemical change that delicate molecules that gives coffee its flavour, react with air and become a new bitter substance and physical
26
Chemical bonding involves the interaction of the electrons in which shell?
The valence shell
27
What is a anion
Negatively charged ion
28
What is a ion
An atom or electron with a net electric charge due to the loss gain of an electron
29
What is a cation
Positively charged ion
30
When electrons are shared they are shared in....
Pairs
31
What is a Single bond
When one pair the of electrons are being shared
32
What is a double bond
When two pairs of electrons are being shared
33
Triple bond
Three pairs are shared
34
Polymer
A polymer is made up of a large number of similar units that are all bonded
35
Monomer
Polymer is made up of monomers
