1
Fractionating column
contains glass beads, hottest at the bottom
2
JJ Thomson experiment
found that the beams of particles were attracted to positive charge - evidence for negative electrons
3
Niels Bohr
found that light given out when atoms were heated only had specific amounts of energy - evidence for energy shells where energy is given out when electrons fall to a lower shell
4
Relative atomic mass
average value that takes account of the abundance of the isotopes of the element
5
Different isotopes can have different _____ properties
physical eg. density and radioactivity
6
Alkali metal + water -->
metal hydroxide + hydrogen
7
Alkali metal hydroxide properties (3)
soluble in water, colourless, alkaline
8
Alkali metals and chlorine gas
react vigorously to produce metal chlorides (white solids) - dissolve in water to form colourless solutions
9
Alkali metals and oxygen in the air
layer of oxide forms on surface, alkali metals have to be stored in oil to stop this
10
Jar of oxygen gas and alkali metals
burn vigorously and produce white smoke of their oxides
11
Why does reactivity increase down group 1?
- electrostatic forces of attraction between nucleus and outer shell weaker
- inner shells 'shield' outer electrons from positive charge of nucleus
12
Why does reactivity decrease down group 7?
harder to attract and gain an extra incoming electron
13
Early periodic tables
- John Dalton - order of atomic weight
- John Newlands - order of mass, noticed every 8th element seemed similar, didn't take undiscovered into account
14
Boiling point in Group 1
decreases down the group
15
Boiling point in Group 7
increases down the group
16
Boiling point in Group 0
increases down the group
17
Alkali metal properties compared with other metals
- very low density

18
Transition metal properties
typical of metals
- good conductors
- hard and strong
- high densities
- high BP (apart from mercury)

much less reactive than alkali metals
19
Copper foil reaction with oxygen in the air
- has to be heated storngly before
- black coating of copper (ii) oxide forms slowly on surface
20
Iron reaction with chlorine gas
- chlorine has to be passed over the iron and heated very strongly inside a horizontal pyrex tube
- reaction forms red iron (iii) chloride
21
Transition metal reactions with water
- copper has no reaction
- iron rusts slowly over time
22
Transition metal uses
- structural materials in construction industry
- catalysts in chemical industry (nickel in margarine production, iron in Haber process)
23

blue, due to Cu$2+$ ions
24
Coloured compounds: Nickel (ii) carbonate
pale green, due to Ni$2+$ ions
25
Coloured compounds: Chromium (iii) oxide
dark green, due to Cr$3+$ ions
26
Coloured compounds: Manganese (ii) chloride
pale pink, due to Mn$2+$ ions
27
Why do some transition ions have roman numerals?
transition metals can form more than 1 ion
28
Limitations of particle model (2)
- no forces shown
- all particles represented as solid spheres
29
Bulk properties
- due to many atoms/ions/molecules acting together
- individual atoms don't have the physical properties of the substances that contain them
30
2D ball and stick limitation
doesn't show true shape of molecule
31
3D ball and stick limitation
doesn't show tetrahedral shape as well as a molecular model kit
32
Dot and cross diagram limitations (2)
- electrons shown in fixed positions between 2 atoms but electrons in covalent bonds are constantly moving
- all electrons are identical so shouldn't be represented as dots and crosses
33
Ionic compound conductivity
can conduct when molten/dissolved in water - ions free to move and carry charge
34
Simple covalent molecule conductivity
- no free electrons/ions
- no overall charge so can't carry electrical charge
35
Graphite
- each carbon atom forms 3 covalent bonds with 3 other atoms, forming layers of hexagonal rings
- no covalent bonds between layers
- one electron from each carbon atom is delocalised
36
Giant covalent structure properties
- very high BP
- insouble in water
- (apart from graphite) hard and don't conduct electricity
37
Giant covalent structure examples (3)
diamond, graphite, silicon dioxide
38
Graphene
single layer of graphite 1 atom thick
39
Graphene properties (4)
- better conductor than graphite
- very low density
- most reactive form of carbon
- pieces of it are incredibly strong for their mass
40
Graphene potential uses (2)
- more powerful computer chips
- flexible electronic displays
41
Fullerenes
- molecules of carbon atoms with hollow shapes
- based on hexagonal rings of carbon atoms but may also contain rings with 5 or 7 carbon atoms
42
Carbon nanotubes
cylindrical fullerenes with very high length to diameter ratios
43
Carbon nanotube uses
- reinforcing composite materials (eg. in tennis rackets) due to high tensile strength
- electronics industry due to high conductivity
44
Fullerene uses (3)
- drug delivery
- lubricants (like graphite)
- catalysts due to large SA:V of their nanoparticles
45
Metal structure
- layers of regular patterns
- electrons in the outer shell of metal ions are delocalised, so free to move throughout whole structure
- sharing delocalised electrons creates strong metallic bonds
46
Why are alloys harder than pure metals?
have atoms of different sizes, so more difficult for layers to slide over each other
47
1 nanometre =
1x10$-9$m
48
PM
particulate matter - particles in the air such as pollutants, pollen or dust
49
Nanoparticle size range
1-100nm
50
Fine particles diameter (3)
- 100-2,500nm
- 0.1-2.5μm
-PM$0.1$-PM$2.5$
51
Coarse particles diameter (3)
- 1x10$-5$m
- 10μm
- PM$10$
52
Why are nanoparticles more sustainable than traditional bulk materials?
- exposure of such a large percentage of atoms at the surface of nanoparticles makes them highly reactive
- so smaller quantities are needed
53
Nanoparticle use on glass
- glass coated with titanium oxide nanoparticles
- sunshine triggers a chemical reaction that breaks down dirt that lands on the window
- when it rains, water spreads evenly over the glass, washing off the broken down dirt
54
Nanoparticles in sunscreen
nanoparticles are coated in silica - more effective at blocking the sun's rays than conventional UV absorbers
55
Nanoparticles in face creams, suncreams and deodorants
absorbed deeper into the skin
56
Who can nanocages of gold kill tumours?
- tumours have thin, leaky blood vessels with holes large enough for the gold nanoparticles to pass into
- nanoparticles can't get into healthy blood vessels
- laser directed at the tumour, transferring energy to and warming up gold nanoparticles
- temperature of tunour increases enough to change the properties of its proteins but barley warms the surrounding tissue
57
Silver nanoparticle use
continuously release a low level of silver ions to protect against bacteria
58
Nanowires
could be used to construct incredibly small electronic circuits - make computers with vastly improved memory capacitities and speeds
59
Nanotube sensors
can detect tiny traces of a gas present in the breath of asthmatics before an attack
60
Danger of using nanoparticles as catalysts in fuel cells
- nanoparticle large SA:V makes them very reactive
- if a spark is made by accident near a large quanitity of the catalyst, there could be a violent explosion
61
Nanoparticle worries (2)
- could have unpredictable effects on cells
- nanoparticles in the environment could affect aquatic life by accumulating in organisms over time
62
Avogadro constant
6.02 X 10$^23$ - number of atoms, molecules or ions in a mole of any substance
63
Moles equation
$mol =\frac{m}{Mr}$
64
Percentage yield equation
$Percentage yield =\frac{mass of product made}{maximum theoretical mass}\times 100$
65
Factors affecting percentage yield (5)
- reaction may be reversible
- some reactants may react to give unexpected / unwanted products in alternative reactions
- some product may be lost in handling / left in apparatus
- reactants may not be pure
- some desired product may be lost during separation from reaction mixture
66
Atom economy equation
$atomeconomy=\frac{Mr (of desired product)}{Mr(of all reactants)}\times 100$
67
Concentration equation
$Concentration=\frac{mass of solute (g)}{voume of solution (dm^3)}$
68
$1dm^2 =$
$1000cm^3$
69
Titrations
- used to find out how much acid is needed to completely react with an alkali
- point at which they have reacted completely = end point
70
Molar gas volume
one mole of any gas at room temperature (20*C) and room pressure (1 atmosphere pressure) = 24dm$^3$
71
Volume of gas equation
$Volume of gas (dm^3) = Number of moles of gas \times 24dm^3$
72
