• Description: C1: Particles, atomic structure, ionic bonding and the Periodic Table An introduction to the Chemistry course focusing on: - The particulate nature of matter. - Atomic structure and the Periodic Table. - Elements, compounds and mixtures. The learning objectives for this block are: - State the distinguishing properties of solids, liquids and gases. - Describe the structure of solids, liquids and gases in terms of particle separation, arrangement and types of motion. - Describe the changes of state in terms of melting, boiling, evaporation, freezing and condensation. - Explain changes of state in terms of the kinetic particle theory and the energy changes involved. - Demonstrate understanding of the terms atom, molecule and ion. - Describe and explain diffusion in terms of the movement of particles (atoms, molecules or ions) - Describe and explain diffusion in terms of the movement of particles (atoms, molecules or ions). - Describe and explain dependence of rate of diffusion on molecular mass. - Describe the structure of an atom in terms of a central nucleus, containing protons and neutrons and ‘shells’ of electrons. - Describe the build-up of electrons in ‘shells’ and understand the significance of the noble gas electronic structures and of the outer shell electrons. - State the charges and approximate relative masses of protons, neutrons and electrons. - Define and use proton number (atomic number) as the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. - Define and use nucleon number (mass number) as the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. - Use proton number and the simple structure of atoms to explain the basis of the Periodic Table
