Chemistry revision

Today we're going to be looking at what we've covered so far for a test on Friday.  Make sure you understand the following points, completing the questions at home for homework.


  1. What are the eight properties of metals?
  2. What is special about an element?
  3. Where are the metals and non-metals in the periodic table? How can you tell? 
  4. What does solubility mean?
  5. For the separation practical we did last week, what was the solvent we used for the salt? 
  6. Use the animations to describe what makes up a mixture. How is it different from a compound? 
  7. Heat up the pan in this animation. What do the particles do when they are heated?
  8. For question 7, would the pan heat up as much if the particles were more spread out? Why?
  9. Name the 5 methods of separation.  Describe the three steps for evaporation, explaining what type of mixtures it can be used for.
  10. Use this link to try naming the compounds (in the grey box at the top), using the yellow notes below to help you. This is a bit tricky, so don't worry if you don't get it straight away!
  11. What parts of this carbon atom can you name?

Our homework is a sheet on this link. You can write it out or print it off and fill in the gaps, and bring it in on Friday for an achievement point.
