What is the radius of an atom
0.1 nanometers.
What is the radius of a nucleus?
1*10 to power of -14, almost all mas is concentrated in postivly charged nucleus.
What do electrons move in?
Electron shell, cover a lot of space mass is 1/2000, often taken as 0.
What happens in an ion?
Number of protons doesn’t equal number of electrons, has overall charge.
What does the atomic number tell you?
Number of protons, mass number total amount of protons and neutrons. To get neutrons subtract atomic number from mass number.
What decides the type of atom?
Protons. e.g. 1 proton=hydrogen 2=helium.
What happens if a substance only contains atoms with the same number of protons called?
Element, only 100 elements.
What do different elements have in common?
Same number of protons.
What is an isotope?
different forms of same element, have same number of protons but different number of neutrons. (same atomic number but different mass number)
What happens because many elements exist as a number of different isotopes?
Relative atomic mass is used instead of mass number when referring to the element as whole. Average mass taking into account the different masses and abundances (amounts) of all isotopes that make up element.
What is the formula to work out relative atomic mass?
relative atomic mass (Ar[small r])=sum of (isotope abundance * isotope mass number)/sum of abundance of all isotopes.
How do compounds form?
Elements react, atoms combine with other atoms to form compounds, compounds are substances formed from 2 or more elements, atom of each are in fixed proportions throughout compound and they’re held together by chemical bonds.
How do you make bonds?
atoms giving away, taking or sharing elements of compound out again, chemical reaction is needed to do this. Compound formed from metal and non-metal consists of ions. Metal atoms lose electrons to become positively charged and non-metals gain to for negative ions. Opposite charges of ions mean they’re strongly attracted to each other. Called ionic bonding. E.g. sodium chloride, magnesium oxide and calcium oxide.
How do compounds form from molecules?
Form from non-metals. Each atom shares an electron with another atom, called covalent bonding. E.g. hydrogen chloride gas, carbon monoxide and water.
What are the properties of compounds?
different from original element E.g. if iron (lustrous magnetic metal) and sulfur (nice yellow powder) react, compound formed (iron sulfide) a dull grey solid lump doesn’t behave anything like either iron or sulfur.
When are brackets used in formula of compounds?
E.g. Ca(OH)2 [small at bottom]. Little number outside bracket applies to everything inside bracket. So in example there’s 1 calcium atom, 2 oxygen atom and 2 hydrogen atoms.
What are the examples of compound formulas?
Ammonia-NH3 sodium chloride NaCl carbon monoxide- CO hydrochloric acid-HCL, calcium chloride-CaCl2, sodium carbonate-Na2Co3, sulfuric acid-H2SO4.
How do you balance an equation?
Only change number in front of substance not in front of it.
How are mixtures created?
No chemical reaction, mixture is either elements or compounds. Can be separated out by physical change e.g. filtration, crystallisation, simple distillation, fractional distillation and chromatography.
What are examples of mixtures?
air, crude oil etc. Properties of mixtures are just properties of separate parts-chemical properties of substance aren’t affected by it being part of mixture. Mixture will contain properties of its elements it is made of.
What are the first few steps for chromatography?
Draw line near bottom of sheet of filter paper use pencil. Pencil marks are insoluble and won’t dissolve in solvent. Add spot of ink to line and place sheet in beaker of solvent. Solvent used depends on what being tested. Some compounds dissolve well in water, sometimes other solvents, like ethanol are needed.
What do you do after the solvent is added in chromatography?
Make sure ink isn’t touching solvent-don’t want it to dissolve into it. Place lid on top of container to stop solvent evaporating, solvent seeps up paper carrying ink with it. Each different dye in ink will move up paper at different rate so dyes spread out. Each dye will form spot in different place-1 spot per dye in ink.
What are the final steps of chromatography?
If any dye in ink are insoluble in solvent you’ve used, they’ll stay on baseline, when solvent has nearly reached top of paper, take paper out of beaker and leave it to dry, end result is pattern of spots called a chromatogram.
What is filtration?
used in product is insoluble solid that needs to be separated from liquid reaction mixture. Can be used in purification as well. E.g. solid impurities in reaction mixture can be separated out using filtration.
