#1
Front (Question)

What Is The Difference Between Metals, Non-Metals And Metalloids Using Their Physical Properties?

Back (Answer)

Metals are shiny, solid at room temperature, malleable and ductile. Non-metals are dull, brittle and bad conductors. Metalloids share these properties.

#2
Front (Question)

What Is Monatomic?

Back (Answer)

When an element exists as a single atom. All noble gases are monatomic.

#3
Front (Question)

What Is Diatomic?

Back (Answer)

When an element exists as two of the same atom, chemically bonded together. For example, O2, N2, Cl2.

#4
Front (Question)

What Is An Atomic Number?

Back (Answer)

The atomic number of an element is the number of protons in its nucleus.

#5
Front (Question)

What Is A Mass Number?

Back (Answer)

The mass number is the amount of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.

#6
Front (Question)

What Is An Ion?

Back (Answer)

An ion is an atom or a group of atoms with a positive or negative charge, resulting from an imbalance in the number of protons or electrons.

#7
Front (Question)

What Is Ionic Bonding?

Back (Answer)

The attraction of positive and negative ions for each other in an ionic lattice.

#8
Front (Question)

What Is The Electron Configurations For The First 20 Elements Given Their Atomic Number?

Back (Answer)

#9
Front (Question)

What Are The Positions Of The First 20 Elements On The Periodic Table Given Their Electron Configuration?

Back (Answer)

#10
Front (Question)

Why Are Noble Gases Unreactive In Terms Of Electron Configuration?

Back (Answer)

Noble gases already have an extremely stable outer shell, and don’t react with other elements as a result of this.

#11
Front (Question)

Do Noble Gases Exist As Uncombined Single Atoms?

Back (Answer)

Yes, they do.

#12
Front (Question)

For Simple Ions, What Electron Arrangement Do They Need In Their Outer Shell To Be Stable?

Back (Answer)

Simple ions have a stable electron arrangement of 8 in their outer shell (or 2 for the first shell).

#13
Front (Question)

What Charge Will Simple Ions Have Given Their Electron Configuration Or Position On The Periodic Table?

Back (Answer)

#14
Front (Question)

What Happens When A Metal Combines With A Non-Metal To Form An Ionic Compound?

Back (Answer)

When a metal reacts with a non-metal, electrons are transferred from the metal to the non-metal. This forms positive metal ions and negative non-metal ions. These recently formed ions have opposite charges and therefore attract to each other to form an ordered 3D ionic lattice.

#15
Front (Question)

What Are The 5 Ions That Need To Be Remembered?

Back (Answer)

NH 4 + CO 3 2- OH - NO 3 - SO 4 2-

#16
Front (Question)

What Are The Names Of Ionic Compounds Given Their Formulas?

Back (Answer)

#17
Front (Question)

How Is A Stable Arrangement Of Electrons Achieved When Non-Metal Atoms Combine By Sharing Electrons To Form A Covalent Bond?

Back (Answer)

When 2 or more non-metals react, they can’t both gain electrons, so they share them. This means they’ll both have 8 electrons in their outer shell, and create a covalent bond.

#18
Front (Question)

What Does A Chemical Reaction Produce?

Back (Answer)

a chemical reaction produces a new substance that is usually hard to reverse.

#19
Front (Question)

What Is One Of The Many Classifications Of A Chemical Reaction?

Back (Answer)

There are many classifications of chemical reactions, but one is called a Precipitate.

#20
Front (Question)

What Is A Solution?

Back (Answer)

A solution is a homogeneous mixture of 2 or more substances.

#21
Front (Question)

What Precipitate Will Form When Mixing Two Salt Solutions?

Back (Answer)
