Atom
Smallest particle of an element
Element
Substances made from one type of atom
Compound
Substances made of two or more DIFFERENT atoms bonded together (h20)
Molecule
Substances amd eof 2 or more atoms bonded together
The difference between atomic mass and number
Atomic mass is the number of protons and neutrons within the nucleus whereas the number is the number of protons within the element.
What is the ground state of an atom
The ground state is the lowest state possible/ lowest energy
What is the excited state of an atom
When the atom is not in the lowest sate possible. It is unstable as the electrons are jumping shells. Eg applying heat to chemicals
What is the only stable element group
Noble Gasses
What is an ion
a positively or negatively charged atom
Ions
Cation (Positive (Protons))
Anion (Negative (Electrons))
What is valency and how is it determined
Valency is the number of atoms of a particular element that is combined with one atom of another element to form a molecule..The valency of an element is determined by the number of electrons in its outermost shell.
Why did Mendeleev leave gaps in the periodic table
For elements he believed to be undiscovered
What prediction did Mendeleev make about the periodic table
He predicted the existence of germanium between silicon and tin calling ekasilicon due to its similar properties.
What is periodic law
when the elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number, there is a periodic repetition of their physical and chemical properties
What is a period and a column and how many of each
Period = Horizontal row = 7
Column = Vertical row = 8 OR 18
Which column are
Alkali metals
Alkaline earth metals
Noble Gases
Alkali metals= 1`
Alkaline earth metals= 2
Noble Gases= 8
Show the metals, metalloids and non-metals on a periodic table
Examples of negative ions
Cl- = chloride ion 17 protons 18 electrons
O2- = oxide ion 8 protons and 10 electrons
N3- =nitride ion 7 protons 10 electrons
How are ions formed
Ions are formed when atoms purposefully lose or gain electrons to achieve a full and stable outer shell
Examples of positive ions
Na+ = sodium ion 11 protons and 10 electrons
Be2+ = beryllium ion 4 protons and 2 electrons
Al3+ = aluminium ion 13 protons and 10 electrons
What is an ionic bond
A chemical bond that’s formed when an atom transfers and electron to another atom
What is a covalent bondF
A chemical bond formed when two or atoms share electrons.
What is the valency of each group
1 = 1 = +1
2 = 2 = +2
3 = 3 = +3
4 = 4 = +4 or -4
5 = 5 = -3
6 = 6 = -2
7 = 7 = -1
8 = 8 = 0
Metals vs non metals (Bonding)
Ionic= Metals and non metals
Covalent= non-metal with non-metal
