Study These Flashcards
A

Non-metalic elements to the right of the staircase

25
Ion
An element that has has 1 or more negative or positive charges
26
Isotope
2 or more atoms that have the same number of protons but different neutrons
27
metalloid
Metal-like elements on the staircase
28
Noble gas
Group of gaseous elements at the far right of the table
29
Diatomic molecule
Molecule containing 2 stoms chemically bonded
30
Ionic Compound
Compounds made up of ions that formed charged particles when an electron is gained or lost
31
Covalent compound
Molecule formed by covalent bonds, the atoms will share one or more pairs of valence electrons
32
Bonds
Ionic- bond between a metal and non-metal Molecular - Bond between non-metals
33
Empirical knowledge
knowledge through observations
34
theoretical knowledge
knowledge based on ideas created to explain observations
35
Observation
Something you can detect with your senses
36
Inference
something you know or think you know.
37
Atomic theory 450-400 BC - Empedocles and Democritus
Empedocles - Believed there were 4 elements Earth, Wid, Fire and Water, produced by 4 properties dry, hot, wet and cold. Democritus - First to suggest that matter is particles, matter could be divided smaller and smaller until not able, different atoms have different sizes and is in constant motion
38
Electromagnetic Spectrum
-Light travels in fast or slow waves -Long waves (low frequency, low energy, not harmful, radiowaves) -Short waves (high frequency, high energy, harmful, x-rays and UV) - Visible light is in between -Each colour has a different wavelength -Each element has its own unique line spectra -Different types of matter emit different wavelengths
39
Spectroscopy
-Spectroscopes are used to separate light and reveal different line spectra -A line spectra analyses different types of matter -Spectroscopy is used in: - Water samples, Planetary atmospheres, hair, blood and urine tests for poison
40
Qualitative properties
State, colour, taste, odour, clarity, lustre, texture, for, hardness and viscosity
41
Quantitative properties
Boiling point, melting or freezing point, density, solubility, conductivity
42
Observation
Something you detect with your senses
43
Interpretation/inference
Something you know or think you know
44
Atomic theory -1809 - John Dalton
-Suggested matter consists of definite particles, atoms - Elements are made up of its own identical particles -Atoms of different elements have different properties -Atoms of 2 or more elements can combine in constant ratios to form new substances -Atoms can't be destroyed created or subdivided in a chemical change
45
Atomic theory - 1897 - JJ Thomson
-Used a cathode ray tube -Discovered subatomic particles in the atom -negative particles later called electrons
46
Atomic theory - 1910 - Ernest Rutherford
-Discovered positively charged nucleus -suggested negative electrons orbit the nucleus -gold foil experiment (positively charged particles at centre) -problem: electrons should give off energy, and eventually fall down (which doesn't happen)
47
Atomic theory - James Chadwick
- Discovered neutrons
48
Atomic theory - 1913 - Niels Bhor
-Suggested electrons exist at various levels -orbits farther out possess more energy -Electrons can jump levels but not between them -Increase in energy moves electron up, when it falls light is emitted
49
Orbitals/energy levels
-Where an electron spends its time -1 or 2 electrons can occupy the same orbit (Pauli Exclusion Principle) -Electrons fill low orbitals before they fill high ones -When there is a choice they fill singly as far as possible -Spin in opposite directions in the same orbit
50
Periodic Table groups
-Alkali metals (Na, K, Li) -Alkaline Earth metals (Mg, Be, Ca) -Halogens (F, Cl, Br) -Nobles Gases (Ne, Ar, Kr) -Transition metals (Fe, Co, Ni) -Metalloids (B, Al, Si) Lanthanides and Actinides (U, Np, Pu) (bottom rows)
51
Electronegativity
-The property of an element that attracts shared electrons. -Periods- The EN increases -Groups- The EN decreases
52
Atomic Radius
-The distance from the nucleus to the valence electrons -Periods- The radius decreases -Groups- The radius increases
53
Ionization Energy
-The amount of energy it takes to remove an electron -Periods- IE increases -Groups- IE decreases
54
Radioactivity on Periodic Table
Bottom left to upper right - The number of electrons -The smaller the number of electrons transferred the more vigorous the reaction
55
Polarity
Non-polar covalent - equal distibution Polar covalent - non-equal distribution Ionic bonds will always be polar.
56
Shapes
-Linear -Trigonal Planar (flat triangle) -Angular ( 2 bonds, 2 extra electrons) -Tetrahedral (For bonds) -Pyramidal (3 bonds, 2 extra electrons)
