  1. What’s a molecule? (simply)
    2 or more atoms bonded together
  2. What’s a compound? (simply)
    Different atoms bonded together
  3. What is the structure of molecules when something is solid, liquid, gas or plasma?
    • Solid- tightly packed
    • Liquid- less tightly packed
    • Gas- delocalised, more disorder
    • Plasma- charged particles
  4. What’s meant by physical change?
    • Not involving chemical change
    • Example: ice to water to gas
  5. Can there be different boiling points for different properties?
    • Yes
    • Eg. Alcohol (ethanol) 78*C , Water is 100*C
  6. Two types of energy?
    • Potential (block of wood)
    • Kinetic (light and heat when burnt)
  7. What occurs- chemical change, physical change or both in H2O(l) —> H2O(g)?
    • No chemical change
    • But physical change
    • Tightly packed molecules —> disordered
  8. What does K mean in the periodic table?
    Potassium
  9. What is CO?
    Carbon Monoxide

    (Which wants to join to O to make CO2- carbon dioxide)
  10. What king of charge has an electron?
    • Negative
    • e-
  11. Can you weigh an electron, neutron, proton!
    • Electron - no , way too light
    • Protons yes
    • Neutrons yes
  12. Where’s the neutrons, electrons and protons located in an atom?
    • Neutrons- nucleus (no charge)
    • Protons - nucleus
    • Electrons - in orbitals (orbiting the nucleus)
  13. How is the weight of an atom calculated?
    Adding neutrons and protons
  14. Oxygen has 8 protons. Usually 8 neutrons and weighs on average 15.999. Sometimes it can have how many neutrons?
    7 (brings down weight)
  15. Why are there neutrons in nucleus?
    The protons would blow apart. Neutrons act as packing material.
  16. 12
    C How many neutrons in nucleus?
    6
    12-6 = 6
