The cards Question What is the building block of all matter? Tap to flip Answer An atom. Question What is an element made up of? Tap to flip Answer Only one type of atom. Question In Dalton's model, what is an atom? Tap to flip Answer A sphere that cannot be broken up. Question How do the atoms of different elements compare? Tap to flip Answer Each element is made of a different type of atom. Question What does a pure substance contain? Tap to flip Answer Only one type of chemical. Question What does a physical property of a substance describe? Tap to flip Answer How the substance appears and behaves, e.g. its boiling point. Question What does a chemical property of a substance describe? Tap to flip Answer The chemical changes that happen to it in chemical reactions to form new substances. Question What is true of the melting point and boiling point of each element? Tap to flip Answer Each element has a fixed melting point and a fixed boiling point. Question Are the properties of an element the same as those of a single atom of it? Tap to flip Answer No. The properties of elements are different from those of a single atom. Question What does malleable mean? Tap to flip Answer Able to be formed into a shape. Question What does ductile mean? Tap to flip Answer Able to be pulled into a wire. Question What does brittle mean? Tap to flip Answer Able to break up easily. Question What is an electrical conductor? Tap to flip Answer A substance that allows a flow of charge (an electrical current). Question What is a thermal conductor? Tap to flip Answer A substance that transfers heat from one place to another. Question Are non-metals normally good or poor conductors of heat and electricity? Tap to flip Answer Normally poor conductors. Question Where are metals found on the periodic table? Tap to flip Answer On the left side and in the middle. Question Where are non-metals found on the periodic table? Tap to flip Answer On the right side. Question Name a non-metal that is a good electrical and thermal conductor. Tap to flip Answer Graphite. Question What is a molecule? Tap to flip Answer Two or more atoms chemically bonded together. Question What is a diatomic element made of? Tap to flip Answer Molecules of two atoms of the same type chemically bonded together. Question Give one example of a diatomic molecule formed by a non-metal. Tap to flip Answer e.g. O₂, N₂, H₂ or Cl₂. Question What does a monatomic element consist of? Tap to flip Answer Only single atoms. Question Which group of elements is monatomic and listed in the right-hand column of the periodic table? Tap to flip Answer The noble gases. Question In what state are many non-metals at room temperature? Tap to flip Answer The gas state. Question What is a metalloid? Tap to flip Answer An element that shares some properties with metals and some with non-metals. Question What is a chemical compound? Tap to flip Answer A substance made by a chemical reaction in which two or more different elements chemically bond together. Question What is a chemical bond? Tap to flip Answer A strong force that holds atoms together in a compound. Question Does a compound usually have the same properties as the elements it is made from? Tap to flip Answer No. Compounds usually have completely different properties from their elements. Question What is a chemical symbol? Tap to flip Answer One or two letters that represent a chemical element; the first letter is always a capital. Question Which element does the symbol Br represent? Tap to flip Answer Bromine. Question In a chemical formula, what do the subscript numbers next to the symbols show? Tap to flip Answer The number of each type of atom. Question What does the formula H₂O show about water? Tap to flip Answer It has 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom. Question How can two different compounds contain the same elements? Tap to flip Answer They contain the elements in a different ratio. Question What ending does the name of a simple metal–non-metal compound have? Tap to flip Answer '-ide'. Question What is a compound of a metal bonded to the -CO₃ group called? Tap to flip Answer A metal carbonate. Question What is a compound of a metal bonded to the -SO₄ group called? Tap to flip Answer A metal sulfate. Question What is a compound of a metal bonded to the -NO₃ group called? Tap to flip Answer A metal nitrate. Question In a compound name, when does the non-metal part end in '-ate' instead of '-ide'? Tap to flip Answer When the non-metal is also bonded to oxygen. Question On which side of a chemical equation are the reactants? Tap to flip Answer The left-hand side. Question On which side of a chemical equation are the products? Tap to flip Answer The right-hand side. Question How do the atoms in the products of a reaction compare with those in the reactants? Tap to flip Answer They are exactly the same atoms, but bonded differently. Question Can atoms be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction? Tap to flip Answer No. Matter is only arranged differently to form new products.

How this deck was checked On 2026-11-02, every card was compared with its source: the lessons of Oak National Academy, a public body funded by England's Department for Education that publishes lessons for the national curriculum. Because the cards come from those lessons, no second source was sought. The comparison was done automatically, not by a teacher, so a card can still be wrong.
