Draw and write the electron configuration for Aluminium

What does the law of conservation of mass state?
Matter cannot be created or destroyed.
Reactions involving carbonates usually produce...
Carbon dioxide.
What 2 things do alkali metals produce when they react with water?
Metal hydroxide and hydrogen gas.
How many electrons do halogens have in their outer shell and how many do they need to gain/lose to become stable?

What does collision theory state?
Particles must collide with the correct orientation and with sufficient energy for a reaction to occur.
Is this equation balanced? If not, balance it: Fe2O3 + CO --> Fe + CO2
No it is not balanced. Fe2O3 + 3CO --> 2Fe + 3CO2
What kind of reaction is this?
AB + C --> AC + B
Single displacement.
Explain what happens to electrons when heated up and why we see different colours in the flam test?
When electrons get heated up they jump to the outer shell and then come back down to their original shell. As they come back in they release energy in the form of photons (light) and emit certain wavelengths. These wavelengths correspond to certain energy levels along the emission spectrum and that is why certain elements produce different colours in the flame test.
Explain what an open and closed system is.
An open system is one where matter can enter or leave.
A closed system is one where matter cannot enter or leave.
