| Question | Answer |
| what are the symbols for: calcium carbon sodium | Calcium = Ca Carbon = C Sodium = Na |
| how would you work out the atomic number of an atom given its atomic number? | put them into the rings 2,8,8 etc and count how many in each shell |
| describe the process of ionic bonding. | ionic bonding if when an atom loses or gain electrons in order to have a full outer shell |
| what is covalent bonding? | covalent bonding is when 2 atoms need to complete their outer shell so share electrons with another atom. |

| whats the general formula for an alkane | CnH2n+2 |
| is a short chain hyrdocarbon more viscous than a long chain? | no the shorter the less viscous (gloopy) it is |
| what do mass and atomic number represent | atomic mass and electron number |
| what is a compound | a group of atoms |
