#1
Front (Question)

What is the charge, relative mass, and location of a proton

Back (Answer)

Charge +1 Relative mass 1 Location nucleus

#2
Front (Question)

What is the charge, relative mass, and location of a neutron

Back (Answer)

Charge 0 Relative mass 0 Location nucleus

#3
Front (Question)

What is the charge, relative mass, and location of an electron

Back (Answer)

Charge -1 Relative mass 1/1836 (18x2=36) Location energy shells

#4
Front (Question)

What is the mass number of the element

Back (Answer)

The number of protons and neutrons

#5
Front (Question)

What is the atomic number

Back (Answer)

The number of protons ( and electrons but don’t say in exam 🚬🚬🚬)

#6
Front (Question)

How do you work out the number of neutrons

Back (Answer)

Mass no - atomic no

#7
Front (Question)

When was John Dalton around and what was his theory on atoms?

Back (Answer)

Start of 19th century ( 1800s ) Atoms were first described as solid spheres Each chemical element had its own atoms that differed from others in their mass Believed that atoms could not be divided or split

#8
Front (Question)

When did Thompson make his theory and what was it?

Back (Answer)

He was in 1897 He found that atoms were attracted to positive charge so they must be negatively charged themselves Called them electrons Suggest plum pudding model: sphere of positive charge, electrons embedded in it ( like bits of plum in plum pudding )

#9
Front (Question)

When was Ernest Rutherford and what did he discover

Back (Answer)

1909 Discovered the nucleus by Alpha scattering experiment: shooting a beam of alpha particles ( positive ions ) at thin gold foil ( a couple atoms thick ) and some atoms passed through, some bounced off in all directions ( going through empty space or hitting nucleus and repelling because of both positive charge ). Suggesting a tiny ball of positive charge in middle of the atom with electrons orbiting it and most of the atom is empty space.

#10
Front (Question)

When was Neils Bohr and what did he discover

Back (Answer)

1914 Electrons are in fixed shells orbiting the nucleus - realised this when electrons where heated the light produced only had a specific amount of energy so the energy must be given when and excited electron goes from a high energy level to a low one

#11
Front (Question)

When was James chadwick and what did he discover

Back (Answer)

Around 1940 Discovered that there are neutrons in the nucleus because there needed to be more sub atomic particles to fill out the atomic number

#12
Front (Question)

Describe the evolution of the atomic model, give dates

Back (Answer)

400BC: basic shapes and concept of building blocks 1800: balls that make up everyday object 1897: plum pudding, ball of positive charge with electron in it 1909: ball with nucleus in it with positive charge and electron orbiting it 1911: nucleus with fixed energy shells of electrons orbiting 1932: nucleus with neutrons and protons with fixed energy shells of electrons

#13
Front (Question)

Give two elements that Dalton created which are not in the modern day periodic table

Back (Answer)

Soda Lime

#14
Front (Question)

How many electrons can each of the energy shells contain

Back (Answer)

1st: 2 electrons 2nd: 8 3rd: 8 in GCSE Remaining go into 4th shell ⛏

#15
Front (Question)

What does the reactivity of the element depend on and why

Back (Answer)

It depends on the stability of the electronic structure( how many electron in the outershell ). Because if they have only electron to complete or to get whole shell then they will react more vigorously to get rid of it

#16
Front (Question)

Why are the group 1 metals so reactive

Back (Answer)

They have 1 electron in outer shell e.g sodium: 2.8.1 Wants to get rid of 1 electron to get stable electronic structure

#17
Front (Question)

Why is Chlorine so reactive

Back (Answer)

It has an electronic structure of 2,8,7 and wants one more electron to get stable electronic structure

#18
Front (Question)

Why are noble gases so unreactive

Back (Answer)

They have electronic structure of: e.g Argon: 2,8,8 Stable electronic structure so not reactive

#19
Front (Question)

What is an ion give examples

Back (Answer)

An ion is a charged atom or group of atoms E.g Li+, SO4 2-

#20
Front (Question)

How many protons, neutrons and electrons will oxygen 2-

Back (Answer)

8 protons 8 neutrons 10 electrons

#21
Front (Question)

Explain what happens when sodium reacts with chlorine

Back (Answer)

Na: 11P, 12N, 11E ( neutral), electronic structure: 2,8,1 Cl: 17P, 18N, 17E ( neutral), electronic structure: 2,8,7 The one electron in sodium’s outer shell wants to move, and the 7 electrons in chlorine’s outer shell wants one more electron to become stable so sodium’s electron moves to chlorine and therefore sodium becomes positive by 1( 1 less electron ) and chlorine become negative by 1 ( one more electron )

#22
Front (Question)

What are isotopes

Back (Answer)

Atoms with the same element with different numbers of neutrons making there mass number different

#23
Front (Question)

What can different isotopes of the same atom have in common and what are the difference

Back (Answer)

In Common: same chemical properties (because same electronic structures) Difference: density and may or may no be radioactive

#24
Front (Question)

Why would you classify hydrogen as a non-metal?

Back (Answer)

It doesn’t conduct electricity
