All the same
If the same elements they were attached via hooks

Q

Thompsons theory

A

Discovered electrons and their negative charge
Realised atoms weren’t the smallest thing
If atoms are neutral and electrons are negative there had to be something positive

16
Q

Properties of molecular solids

A
Brittle 
Don't conduct electricity 
Insoluable in water 
Soluable in petrol
Low melting and boiling points
17
Q

Properties of alkali metals (group 1)

A

Stored in oil because they will react with oxygen of moisture in the air
Less dense than water
Cut easily
Reactivity increases as you go down the group

18
Q

What is the equation for alkali metals and water?

A

Alkali metal + water -> metal hydroxide + hydrogen

19
Q

What is the symbol equation for alkali metals and water?

A

Metal (lithium - Li) + H2O -> LiOH + H2

20
Q

Describe what happens in flame tests

A
  1. Heat up loop and burn any unwanted dust
  2. Dip into hydrochloric acid
  3. Dip into alkali compound solid
  4. Hold in flame and identify ions
21
Q

In flame tests what colour is lithium?

A

Red

22
Q

In flame tests what colour is sodium

A

Orange/yellow

23
Q

In flame tests what colour is potassium

A

Lilac

24
Q

Why do alkali metals become more reactive as you go down the table?

A

They have more full shells which means the ones on the outside are further away from the nucleus which means it is easier for it to leave because the attraction isn’t as strong as the ones closer to the nucleus

25
Q

what state are the halogens (group 7)

A
Fluorine - gas
Chlorine -gas
Bromine -liquid
Iodine -solid
Asinine
26
Q

What is thermal decomposition? And give an example

A

Breaking down a substance into 2 or more products using heat

Copper carbonate -> copper oxide + carbon dioxide

27
Q

Thermal decomposition always makes what?

A

A oxide and carbon dioxide

28
Q

Give 3 sources of water

A

River
Rocks
Reservoirs
3R’s

29
Q

What could water contain?

A

Nitrates (from fertilisers)
Sewage
Rubbish
Lead compounds (from old pipes)

30
Q

What are the 3 methods of purifying water?

A

Filtration
Sprayed onto layered sand to filter through
Sedimentation
Chemical added to make them clump together and be filtered
Chlorination
Chlorine gas injected into water to kill microbes
