What is an element?
|
an element is a substance made from only one type of atom.
|
|
What is a substance?
|
A substance is made from two or more elements which are chemically bonded together.
They cannot be seperated easily. |
|
What is a mixture?
|
A substance made from two or more elements which are not bonded together.
They can be seperated easily. |
|
What is an ion?
|
An ion is a particle that is either positively or negatively charged.
|
|
metal + non metal = ?
|
ionic bond
|
|
non metal + non metal = ?
|
covalent bond
|
|
metal + metal = ?
|
metallic bonding
|
|
What is relative atomic mass?
|
The mass of an atom of an element relative to the mass of the mass of a 12C atom.
|
|
What is relative molecular mass?
|
The mass of a compound/molecule of an element relative to the mass of a 12C atom.
|
|
What is an icotope?
|
An atom of an element with a different number of neutrons.
The number of protons stay the same. |
|
What does relative molecular mass mean?
|
The sum of all of the relative atomic masses in a molecule.
The BIGGEST number is ALWAYS the atomic mass. |
|
What is paper chromatography?
|
A method of the seperation of mixtures of the different coloured compounds.
|
|
How do you work out RF?
|
distance moved by the compound
-------------------------------------------------- distance moved by a solvant |
|
What is the solvant front?
|
The line at which the solvant reaches.
|
|
What is the difference between paper and gas chromatography?
|
Paper chromatography uses coloured compounds and is done with liquids where as gas chromatography uses gas.
Gas chromaography is more accurate. |
|
How do you work out percentage composition?
|
Ar of the element
------------------------------- x100 Mr of the compound |
|
how do you work out percentage Yield?
|
actual yield
---------------------------------------- x 100 maximum theoretical yield |
|
What is a Yield?
|
The yield of a substance is how much there is of it after a chemical reaction.
