18
Q

What is a neutron.

A

A particle found in the nucleus of the atom with a mass of “1” and no charge.

19
Q

What is an electron.

A

Very small negatively charged particles found in the nucleus in a shell.

20
Q

What is a nucleus.

A

The centre of the atom that contains protons and neutrons.

21
Q

Electronic arrangement

A

The electrons are arranged I’m shells or energy levels. They can hold 2 or 8 electrons.

22
Q

Atomic mass

A

The number of protons and the numbers of neutrons in the nucleus.

23
Q

Atomic number

A

The number of protons (same as number of electrons)

24
Q

Isotope

A

An element with the same number of protons BUT a different number of neutrons (therefore a different atomic mass

25
Q

Combustion

A

Combustion occurs when a substance reacts with oxygen releasing energy mainly in the form of heat and light.

Combustion is an oxidation reaction. The substance burnt gains oxygen and gets heavier.

26
Q

Corrosion

A

The formation of a compound on the surface of a metal.

27
Q

Rusting

A

Corrosion of iron or steel.

28
Q

Rust

A

Hydrated iron oxide.

29
Q

Sacrificial protection

A

When a metal more reactive than iron is bolted onto steel structures and corrodes instead of the steel.

30
Q

Galvanising

A

Protecting the iron by dipping it into molten zinc.

31
Q

Oxidation

A

When a substance gains oxygen e.g iron going rusty

32
Q

Reduction

A

When a substance loses oxygen.

33
Q

Neutralisation

A

The reaction of an acid with a base or alkali or carbonate.

34
Q

Acid

A

Substance (solution) which has a pH below 7.

E.g nitric acid

35
Q

Base

A

Substance or solution that will neutralise an acid and has a pH above 7. E.g copper oxide (base), potassium hydroxide.

36
Q

Alkali

A

Soluble base- it is a base that dissolves in water.

E.g sodium hydroxide.

37
Q

Salt

A

A neutral substance containing a metal and non-metal part.

E.g sodium chloride.

38
Q

Acid + Alkali –>

A

Salt + Water

39
Q

Acid + Base –>

A

Salt + Water

40
Q

Acid + Metal –>

A

Salt + Hydrogen

41
Q

Acid + Carbonate –>

A

Salt + Water + Carbon Dioxide

42
Q

Hydrochloride acid (formula)

A

HCL

43
Q

Sulphuric acid

A

H2SO4

44
Q

Nitric acid

A

HNO3

45
Q

What is one way of making an acid more acidic?

A

Doubling the amount of Hydrogen.

46
Q

Name a metal which would not react with an acid to produce hydrogen.

A

Copper
