Describe the nature of atoms using Daltons atomic model | Atoms are indestructible and cannot be created or destroyed |
Describe the relative charge, relative mass and position of the three sub atomic particles | •Proton: Charge +1, relative mass 1 , Position in the nucleus •Electron: Charge -1, relative mass 1/2000, Position in shells•Neutron: Charge 0, relatvive mass 1, Position in the nucleus |
Define atomic number | The number of protons in the nucleus |
How can the mass and atomic numbers be used to work out the number of neutrons in an atom | Number of Neutrons = Mass Number - Atomic Number |
State the masximum number of electrons that can be held in the first three electron shells | 2 in the first, 8 in the second, 8 in the third |
State the chemical formulae of water, carbon dioxide, hydrochloric acid and methane. | H2O, CO2, HCl, CH4 |
How many atoms of which elements are present in the following formuae CaCO3 and CuSO4 | CaCO3 = 1x calcium, 1x carbon, 3 x oxygen CuSO4 = 1x copper, 1 x sufur, 4 x oxygen |
Work out the relative formula mass of the following compounds MgO NH3 H2SO4 | MgO = 40, NH3 = 17 H2SO4 = 98 |
How did Medeleev organise the elements using atomic mass and their properties | •He listed elements in order of atomic mass • He put elements with similar properties in the same group |
Having organised the elements based on atomic mass and properties what two further changes did Mendeleev make to his table | • He left gaps for undiscovered elements •He swapped elements around to make sure elements with similar properties were in the same group |
Where would you find metals and non metals in the periodic table | Metals are on the left, Non Metals are on the right |
Describe how the state, colour, and reactivity of the halogens changes down the group | •Down the group the elements change from gas to liquid to solid • The elements get darker in colour down the group • The elements get less reactive down the group |
Write word equations for the reactions of Magnesium and Carbon with oxygen | Magnesium + Oxygen --> Magnesium Oxide , Carbon + Oxygen --> Carbon Dioxide |
