Term
Elements react to form compounds by what 3 methods?
Definition
Sharing electrons, giving electrons and taking electrons.
Term
A metal atom loses electrons and forms _______ ions.
Definition
A metal atom loses electrons and forms positive ions.
Term
When non-metallic elements join together they form ________ bonds.
Definition
When non-metallic elements join together they form covalent bonds.
Term
Ionic compounds are held together by ______ ___________ forces between oppositely charged ions.
Definition
Ionic compounds are held together by strong electrostatic forces between oppositely charged ions.
Term
Why are ionic compounds neutral?
Definition
In an ionic bond, one ion must have a positive charge and one must have a negative charge. When they bond, they resolve their charge imbalances. The sum of the charges of the cation and anion add up to 0.
Term
When is a covalent bond formed?
Definition
When electrons in atoms are shared.
Term
Definition of delocalised?
Definition
The electrons can move about freely between atoms.
Term
What happens when a metal reacts with a non-metal?
Definition
The metal atoms lose electrons and become positive ions, and the non-metal atoms gain electrons and become negative ions.
Term
ANIONS are negative.
Definition

CATions are positive.

Try remembering is as positive...pawsitive...pursitive...cat! And cats are great, so it's positive.

Term
What is a compound?
Definition
A bonded substance made from two or more elements that have reacted chemically with each other.
Term
What is an element?
Definition
A substance that contains only one type of atom depending on the amount of protons in it's nucleus.
Term
What is an atom?
Definition
The smallest particle of a chemical element that can exist. An atom will do anything to get a full outer shell.
Term
How many electrons are in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd shells in an atom?
Definition

1st shell = 2 electrons

2nd = 8 electrons

3rd = 8 electrons

Term
Difference between an atom and an ion?
Definition

An atom has an equal amount of protons and electrons, and no charge.

Ions do not have an equal amount of protons and electrons, but has a full outer shell.

Term
Does an ionic compound have a charge?
Definition
NO, it has zero charge.
Term
What is ionic bonding?
Definition
When a cation (positive charge, full outer shell) bonds/attracts with an anion (negative charge, full outer shell)
Term
What is a polymer?
Definition
  • Polymers are very big molecules with long chains of carbon atoms.
  • Plastics are examples of polymers.
Term
What do the properties of a polymer depend on?
Definition
The structure and bonding found in their molecules.
Term
What is the difference between thermosoftening polymers and thermosetting polymers?
Definition

Thermosoftening  polymers

Thermosetting polymers

Hard when cold

Flexible when cold

Flexible when warm/hot

Hard when warm/hot

Can be moulded and re-moulded many times because the bonds between molecules are very weak

Once heated, melted, and moulded, it cannot be remoulded because the bonds between molecules are too strong

Can be shaped many times.

Can only be shaped once.

Term
How big is a nanometre?
Definition
Once billionth of a metre.
Term
What risks/worries/issues arise from the use of nanoparticles?
Definition
  • Evidence that they could be damaging to lifeforms
  • Studies have shown that nanoparticles can be toxic to animal cells
  • It has been considered that exposure can cause breathing problems, and since they are small enough to be inhaled through the nose, and go straight through the nasal passage to the brain, they can cause a lot of damage there
  • They can easily enter your blood stream and cause harm
  • Not enough is known about them, so they are not allowed to be used
Term
What is the mass number?
Definition
Total number of protons and neutrons an element contains.
Term
What are isotopes?
Definition
Atoms of the same element but with different numbers of neutrons.
Term
Relative atomic mass and relative formula mass symbols?
Definition

Relative atomic mass = Ar

Relative formula mass = Mr

Term
How do you calculate a percentage yield?
Definition

   (Amount of product collected)   

(max. amount of product possible)

 

X 100 = Percentage yield

Term
What is the collision theory?
Definition

Chemicals form compounds through interacting with each other.

 

Term
What is he minimum amount of energy required to react called?
Definition
Activation energy
Term
Name 3 things that will increase the rate of a reaction.
Definition
  • Increasing the concentration of one reactant
  • Increasing the temperature
  • Use a catalyst
Term
What happens when you increase the surface area of a solid (for a reaction)?
Definition
Increases the reaction rate.
Term
When is a reaction exothermic?
Definition
When heat/energy is released.
Term
When is a reaction endothermic?
Definition
It takes in energy.
Term
Name the ion produced when acids are added to water.
Definition
Hydrogen ion, H+
Term

Definition
0-6
Term
What are the pH values of alkalis?
Definition
8-14
Term
When an acid reacts with a base what are the products?
Definition

Term
How are salts crystallised?
Definition
When the salt is filtered out of the aqueous solution
Term
What does electrolysis do?
Definition
Break down ionic compounds into elements using electricity.
Term
Why must the ionic compounds be molten or in solution for electrolysis to work?
Definition
For electrolysis to work, the ions must be free to move. When the ionic compound is in solution, the ions break free from the ionic lattice.
Term
[Electrolysis]
What does OILRIG stand for?
Definition
Oxidation Is Loss Reduction Is Gain
