Question Answer
Define matter Matter-is anything that has a mass or takes up space.
State the Particle Theory - All matter is made up of particles -have spaces -always moving -attract
Explain Chemical properties and examples Ability of a substance to change into a new substance. i.e., combustible, forms precipitate, emits heat or light, reacts to acid/water.
Explain Physical properties A characteristic of a substance that can be observed/measured i.e., melting point, colour/lustre, conductivity, viscous, malleable, ductile
There are 4 gas tests: hydrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, water vapour. Describe each one. Hydrogen-detected using a flaming splint which exploded. Oxygen-detected using a glowing splint which flames Carbon dioxide- detected using limewater which went cloudy. Water vapour-detected using cobalt chloride paper which turned pink.
Define Electrolysis decompose a chemical compound by passing electricity through it.
what is a compound? a pure substance made up of two or more elements that are chemically combined
What do chemical formula's do? Identify which element and how many there are in the compound.
JJ Thomson was known for the___ method. What was his experiment? Known for the raison bun method. Experimented with electric currents in glass tubes called cathode ray tubes. This caused atoms to produce streams of negatively charged particles.
Ernest rutherford known for___ method. What was his experiment? Known for electron cloud model. He fired positively charged particles at a thin gold foil. Most went through although some deflected.
What did chadwick discover? He discovered that the nucleus contains both neutral and positive particles
What did Bohr discover? He discovered a solar system type model where electrons orbit around the nucleas
How many electrons can be in the first,second, and third valence shell. 2,8,8
Atomic Number? Atomic Number: represents the number of protons present in an atom
Atomic Mass? Atomic Mass: the mass of 1 atom of an element; measured in atomic mass units (amu)
How are the metals,metalloids,non-metals arranged on the periodic table Metals ended up on the left side, non-metals on the right side and metalloids in the middle
What's an Ion? metals tend to ___ electrons and non-metals tend to ___ electrons. Ions form when atoms gain or lose electrons and become negative or positive.Metals tend to lose electrons and non-metals gain electrons
What are the 4 families in the peri0odic table? Alkali Metals,Alkaline Earth Metals , Halogens,Nobel Gases
Describe the location of the Alkaline metals, Alkaline earth metals, Halogens, Noble gases Alkaline metals- group1 Alkaline earth metals- group 2 Halogens-17 Noble gases-18
What is PEN? Protons=atomic number Electrons=# protons Neutrons= atomic mass - atomic number
PHYSICS PHYSICS
Define conductor and insulator. Conductor- allows movement/transmission of electrons through a substance. Insulator-resists movement of electrons within a substance
What is an electroscope? Electroscope is an instrument that can detect a static charge
Define grounding. grounding- process of connecting a charged object to the earths surface.
Define Current (I) Current- continuous flow of electrons in a circuit.
