Alloys

1 / 38

39 Terms

1

Alloys

________ are mixtures of metals, where the metals are mixed together but are not chemically combined.

New cards
2

pure substance

A(n) ________ made up of two or more elements chemically combined.

New cards
3

Hydrogen

________ has 1 proton, helium has 2 protons, lithium has 3, etc.

New cards
4

Metallic bonding

________ is not disrupted as the outer electrons do not belong to any particular metal atom so the delocalised electrons will move with them.

New cards
5

Mixtures

________ can be separated by physical methods such as filtration or evaporation.

New cards
6

Electrons

________ orbit the nucleus in shells (or energy levels) and each shell has a different amount of energy associated with it.

New cards
7

Noble gases

________= All of the ________ are unreactive as they have full outer shells and are thus very stable.

New cards
8

powder

Eg: sand and water, oil and water, sulphur ________ and iron filings 😁.

New cards
9

Metals

________ have high melting and boiling points.

New cards
10

physical properties

The difference in mass affects the ________, such as density, boiling point and melting point.

New cards
11

Elements

________ are made of tiny particles of matter called atoms.

New cards
12

different shapes

They can be hammered and bent into ________ or drawn into wires without breaking.

New cards
13

Radioactive

________ have a lot of use in the medical field.

New cards
14

Atoms

________ are the smallest particles of matter, that we can not break down further by chemical means.

New cards
15

chlorine atom

Group: The final notation, which is 7 in the example, shows that a(n) ________ has 7 outer electrons.

New cards
16

Group VII

Chlorine is a(n) ________ non- metal so will need to gain an electron to have a full outer shell of electrons.

New cards
17

Radioactive isotopes

________ (radioisotopes) are unstable due to the imbalance of neutrons and protons, which causes the nucleus to decay over time through nuclear fission and emit radiation.

New cards
18

positive sodium ion

A(n) ________ with the charge 1+ is formed.

New cards
19

Ionic compounds

________ are formed when metal atoms react with non- metal atoms.

New cards
20

Non radioactive isotopes

________ are stable atoms which really only.

New cards
21

atomic number

The ________ and mass number for every element is on the Periodic Table.

New cards
22

Lattice structures

________: In ________, the atoms are arranged in an orderedand repeating fashion.

New cards
23

strong electrostatic forces of attraction

The oppositely charged ions are held together by ________.

New cards
24

Ionic bonds

________ happen between metals and non metals.

New cards
25

Isotopes

________ are atoms of the same element that contain the same number of protonsand electrons but a different number of neutrons.

New cards
26

Sodium

________ is a Group I metal so will lose one outer electron to another atom to gain a full outer shell of electrons.

New cards
27

Metallic bonds

________ are thus not broken and as a result metals are strong but flexible.

New cards
28

Alloys

________ contain atoms of different sizes, which distorts the regular arrangements of atoms.

New cards
29

how to find neutrons number

The nucleon number minus the proton number gives you the number of neutrons of an atom

New cards
30

example

Copper sulfate and calcium carbonate 👍🏼

New cards
31

Eg

sand and water, oil and water, sulphur powder and iron filings 😁

New cards
32

We can represent the structure of the atom in two ways

using diagrams called electron shell diagrams or by writing out a special notation called the electronicstructure

New cards
33

Period

The red numbers at the bottom show the number of notations which is 3, showing that a chlorine atom has 3 shells of electrons

New cards
34

Group

The final notation, which is 7 in the example, shows that a chlorine atom has 7 outer electrons

New cards
35

The table is arranged in vertical columns called Groupsnumbered I

VIII and in rows called Periods

New cards
36

Metals

all metals can lose electrons to other atoms to become positively charged ions

New cards
37

Non-metals

all non-metals can gain electrons from other atoms to become negatively charged ions

New cards
38

Formula of ionic compound

NaCl

New cards
39

Lattice structures

In lattice structures, the atoms are arranged in an orderedand repeating fashion
