What causes atoms to dance faster?

increased heat/energy

100

What is the name of the model we currently use for atomic structure?

quantum/electron cloud

100

What is the name for the rows and columns in the periodic table?

Rows = periods

columns = groups or families

100

What sub-atomic particles live in the nucleus and what is their charge?

Proton (+)

Neutron(0)

100

If an atom gains an electron what charge will the ion be?

negative (more - charges than +)

100

If an atom is a letter, what is a molecule?

word

100

What bond transfers electrons and what bond shares electrons?

Transfer = ionic

Sharing = Covalent

200

Give three physical properties of maple syrup

- high viscosity

- brown colour

- sweet smell

- translucent

200

What are 2 errors in Thompson's cookie model?

- no nucleus, stationary electrons, 

200

The metaloids divide what two classes of element on the periodic table

metal, non-metal

200

What subatomic particles are not located in the nucleus and what is their charge?

Electrons (-)

200

If an atom loses an electron what charge will the ion be?

Positive (more + charges than -)

200

How many atoms:

H2O

3

200

How many shared bonds can carbon create?

4

300

If a substance can be compressed, what state MUST it be in?

gas

300

Why is Heisenberg's model known as a probability cloud?

shows where electrons are most likely to be rather than drawing them in definitive locations

300

What are two things that atomic families tend to have in common

# of outer electrons, chemical properties etc

300

What element?

Carbon

300

Why do ions form?

Atoms want to have a full outer shell of electrons

300

How many atoms:

3C2H5OH

27

300

What classes of elements are involved in an ionic bond?

Metal + non-metal?

400

What is the main difference between a physical and chemical change

chemical change results in new particles

400

Which of Dalton's following observations do we now know are incorrect?

a) all matter is made up of tiny, indivisible particles called atoms

b) all atoms of an element are identical

c) atoms of different elements are unique

none, maybe (a) if they can justify

400

What pattern determines the length of the first three periods?

# of valence (outer shell) electrons

400

What element am I?

Protons = 16

Neutrons = 16

Sulfur

400

Are non-metals more likely to gain or lose electrons? Why?

Gain, it's easier to fill a few empty spots than lose more electrons

400

What determines where the atoms in a molecule go (aka the structure of a molecule)

The number of bonds each atom can create. 

400

What determines how many bonds an atom can make?

number of electrons in the outer shell

500

Name the type of matter for each:

1) coca-cola

2) beach sand

3) table salt

1) solution

2) mechanical mixture

3) compound

500

Explain how Rutherford's foil experiment gave proof of the nucleus

most +'ve particles passed through but some deflected. Showed small, + charged core of atom surrounded by empty space

500

Give the family name, an example and 2 notable characteristics of family 18

non-reactive, odourless, colourless gasses

500

Give me the Protons, electrons and neutrons of element He

2, 2, 2

500

If an alkali metal forms an ion, what will the charge be and why?

Positive, they are more likely to lose their outer electron

500

Why do some atoms have 1 line and some atoms have 2? What do the lines represent?

Lines = shared electron pairs

double line = 2 pairs

500

Why does a metal + non-metal create ionic bonds while two non-metals create a covalent bond?

metals want to lose ions and non-metals want to gain which makes the transfer of electrons easy. 2 non-metals both want to gain so which results in shared electron pairs
