19
Q

the smallest particle of an element which has properties of that element

20
Q

valance

A

electrons in the outer most shell

21
Q

two properties of non metals

A

poor heat/electricity conductors and very high or low melting points

22
Q

properties of metals

A

malleable, good conductors of heat and electricity and can dull

23
Q

difference between compound and mixture

A

a compound has to be chemically separated into its elements, mixtures can be physically separated

24
Q

immiscible liquids

A

incapable of mixing

25
what do intermolecular forces decide
The boiling point, melting point and density
26
polarization
the initial repelling of a charged and neutral object then followed up by attraction after the positive or negative charge has been transferd because opposites attract
27
valency
the amount of electrons that need to be added or subtracted to balance
28
absolute zero
-273c/ 0 kelvins
29
what does friction do
transfers electrons between objects
